What we can confirm
Code Machine Ready - Drawer Out, from the manufacturer's own documentation
A code is only meaningful together with the machine showing it — the same digits mean different things on different equipment.
The code
Machine Ready - Drawer Out
The most common message on this machine and never a problem. The drawer has to be fully home for the appliance to allow anything to be brewed, and a drawer emptied in a hurry frequently sits a few millimeters proud. It is worth knowing because this appliance writes sentences rather than codes, and a sentence that names the drawer is telling you exactly what to do about it.

What it narrows down to
The used-grounds drawer is not seated properly, and the buttons are disabled until it is.

What else belongs to the built-in coffee systems
On this make a code belongs to the appliance rather than to a product line. These are the other conditions this machine can display, and the models that can show this one — a display often has more than one thing to say, and the model number decides what any of it costs to put right.
Other codes this appliance can display
The front panel is not closed, and the machine has disabled its buttons.
Routine milk cleaning is due — it appears two hours after the milk system was last used.
Routine brew-group cleaning is due — every fifty cycles.
The machine has detected an operation problem in the named subsystem and disabled its buttons.
The machine could not fill its boiler in the expected time, and the buttons are disabled.
No water in the tank on a tank-fed machine, or the supply is not connected or turned on if plumbed.
A problem in temperature control on the coffee or the steam side. The buttons are disabled and the machine asks for service.
Too much ground coffee in the chute, or the grind time is set too long.

About Coffee machine signal Machine Ready – Drawer Out
What the appliance is actually reporting
The most common message on this machine and never a problem. The drawer has to be fully home for the appliance to allow anything to be brewed, and a drawer emptied in a hurry frequently sits a few millimeters proud. It is worth knowing because this appliance writes sentences rather than codes, and a sentence that names the drawer is telling you exactly what to do about it.
Where this appears, and which table it belongs to
On the appliance's own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all.
Which machines this one applies to
CM24P and CM24T built-in coffee systems. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 5 of the appliance types this site publishes — coffee machine, cooktop, dishwasher, oven and range — and publishes none at all for freezer, microwave, range hood, refrigerator and wine cooler. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door.
What to do about it
- Pull the grounds drawer right out and push it back until it seats.
- Check that nothing has fallen behind it — a stray pod or a spoon will hold it forward.
- Wipe the runner; coffee oils build up and stop the drawer closing fully.
- No visit is needed for this message.
Where this goes next
The job this usually becomes is coffee system brew group service, and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call (305) 363-6067 and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
