Learn what to do if the brew unit or dump box in your Gaggia Accademia is stuck inside the machine, will not go back into the machine, or if the display is showing an E03 error code or E04 error code. Gaggia Babila: Stuck Brew Unit, E03, E04, or E16 If the brew unit is stuck inside the machine, or will not go back in, it will likely mean either the brew unit or machine is not in the “home” position. The E03 and E04 errors both refer to brew unit issues. The gear in the machine and the brew unit itself both need to be in home position for the brew unit to be able to be either removed or inserted. Generally it will be the machine in the wrong position when the brew unit won't come out, and the brew unit in the wrong position if it will not go back in.
