Can you brew a coffee? If not then the problem is the pump might be blocked.

2. Remove the filter holder and place a cup under the group head and another cup, or other container, under the steam wand to catch cleaning solution.
3. Turn espresso machine on, turn coffee pump on and run approximately 8 oz. of solution through the brew head. Turn machine off and let the machine sit for 15 minutes.
4.Run approximately 8 oz. through the steam wand, and again, turn machine off and let sit for 15 minutes.
Repeat by allowing solution to run alternately through the steam wand and brew head. Turn espresso machine off after each cycle. Repeat process until solution has been run through.
5. Do not leave espresso machine on. Do not wait for the ready light to come on. Do not use the steam switch during this process. Do not allow reservoir to run empty!
6. Rinse reservoir thoroughly with fresh water. Refill reservoir with fresh water. Run half a tank of fresh water through group head, alternating between group head and steam wand.

Lines are clogged and the coffee is not coming

Use Scalekleen or other citric acid.
1-
Always use the right descaling products.
Descaling chemicals purchased from supermarkets may not be suitable for the
machine. Use of Vinegar is prohibited by manufacturers. Please read the
operating manual. Do not use Cafiza, Cleancaf or PuroCaff. These are coffee
cleaners recommended for back flushing coffee machines.
2- Always dissolve the Descaling chemical in a container and pour into the water
tank. Never add directly into the water tank. Crystals of chemical will slide into
the filter & pump and block the water hose and restrict flow of water.
3- Do not pour solution when the tank it is on the machine. In fully automatic
machines, the bean hopper is next to the water tank. The solution / water can
accidentally get into the bean hopper and cause serious damage to the grinder.
4- Espresso machines have separate water passage for Hot water from steam
pipe and espresso dispensing. Flush the solution from both sides, alternatively.
Turn machine on, flush one cup from steam pipe and turn machine off. After a
pause of 3 to 5 minutes turn machine on and make one large espresso (4-oz.).
Repeat this process until all of the solution in the tank is used up.
This method is best both for semi-automatic & fully automatic espresso
machines.
Using Electronic programmed method does only half the job as it flushes
descaling solution only through the steam pipe. The machine must be flushed
with solution from espresso side as well. Automatic descaling method should be
completed by making 6 espresso with or without coffee (using pre-ground cycle
when available).
5- Rinse the water tank and fill with fresh clean water. Repeat the rinsing process
alternatively until four tanks of water is used up to flush the chemical out.
Caution: Do not leave the machine before completing the rinsing
with clean water. The solution left inside will corrode & tarnish
metallic surface.
Do not leave Chrome plated objects submerged in descaling
solution for more than 10 seconds. The chrome will dissolve and
leave the item permanently corroded and black.

How to clean the saeco aroma ??

Buy an espresso machine descaling agent (they come in packets, and you can get them all over the internet), and follow the instructions that come with it. Do NOT use vinegar like you might use on a drip machine.

Saeco Odea Giro descaling problem

Ok first check if the machine is in greenlight state when you press and hold the water button, as it will not work when the red exclamation mark blinking.

also check if the button work at all flipping back and forth to hot water and steam.
I have never had this problem that it dident work.
But remember this, you dont have to do the descaling again as that has nothing to do with the reset.
You can even reset the descaling alarm with out having done the descaling.

If that for some reason wouldent work I would think its the CPU card is not working.
