Water light can't be reset




By fkan on Jan 20, 2008

" "
I bought a Starbucks Saeco Sirena espresso maker a month. Now it has a problem that the blue water light does not go off even though there is water. The light is on steadily (not blinking). I just can't reset the light. I tried lifting the water tank, wiping the bottom plug, putting it back. I tried a few times, it still does not work. With the blue water light on, the machine simply does not work.

Greatly appreciate your help!

- The problem is that the blue water light is not blinking. If it is blinking, then priming the unit will solve the problem. But it is not blinking, then nothing can be done --- it is the sensor problem. Anyway, I returned the unit and exchange for a new one.

-   Have a Starbucks Sirena. When I first power it up, there was a blinking blue light. I put water, open the steam valve, and it shot only 4 oz of water and stopped. Turn the valve to off position and back on, another 4 oz of cald water. Blinking light still flashing. Pressing buttons on the front panel doesn't do anything. No other button on the front panel is working except the power one, which turns machine on and off. I took the magnet out of the container, and was sliding it along the machine wall, but was never able to find a position where it will stop blinking (on the bottom it's fully lit, some 2 inches up it's blinking, above that it's lit up again. Have no warranty, and can't replace it. Any help if I go with opening it? Thx. -   pajonate

Follow the procedure in the owners manual for priming the unit - this should resolve the problem.

The problem is that the manual says "Press the on botton, the light will blink and priming will begin" but this is completely inaccurate. If priming is needed the machine will turn on, the "water" light will blink and nothing will happen.
What needs to be done is to turn the machine on and move the steam/hot water knob clockwise. The pump will activate and churn away and then stop. Just repeat this step until water flows to finish priming. HTH
