My mother's Nespresso Virtuo Next had this small rubber plug just sitting in the lid.

It looks like it interfaces with this hole in the lower portion of the lid with the small plastic pin. But it won't seat in there.

Then, I tried to install it by hand into the small rubber tube/peg that extends downward from the upper lid, but the tapered end also would not seat.

Lastly, in an attempt to figure out where it should go, it ended up slipping down into the case through the lower hole with the pin. Surgical extraction with tweezers has been unsuccessful so far...

The unit will act like it is brewing a cup, and then either nothing will happen, or the top button begins flashing red x2.

Do I have to figure out how to fully disassemble the case in order to retrieve the missing rubber piece?

Many thanks.

I've done a lot of different things in 20 years of flying and while ultimately I decided heliskiing wasn't for me, this machine in this role was one of the best/most fun things I've ever done (on the good days).

It was also one of the worst/hardest/stressful flying jobs on the bad days.

Still, I'm gonna miss this Italian sports car... 😙👌
