I am trying to descale my espresso machine and the fill water tank message will not go away. I have tried turning machine off, replacing water tank several times, have made sure the spring is functioning in the tank to allow water flow. Have not descaled in 6 months, and this message not going away is what prompted me to descale. Thank you for any help! Marcia

I had this happen once and had to put it through the descale process again. Just put more water in the tank, try it again and see what happens.

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.

(Button 26 is the right-most one (2 intersecting
ovals.)
From the Manual:
Press the button (26) for at least 5 seconds to
select the descaling operating mode; the LED
emits a fixed light.
• Direct the steam nozzle (14) toward the drip
tray.
• Position a vessel of adequate capacity under
the steam nozzle and turn the hot water knob
anticlockwise (16). The appliance starts an
automatic descaling cycle with pauses preset
by the manufacturer and managed
automatically by the appliance.
• At the end of the cycle, the flow of the
descaling solution is shut off and the 5 buttons
start flashing simultaneously.
• Turn the knob of the hot water nozzle (16)
clockwise to OFF. In this case, also the warning
light (27) flashes.
• Rinse the water tank and fill it with fresh
drinking water.
• Position a vessel of adequate capacity under
the steam nozzle and empty 2/3 of the
contents of the water tank by turning the steam
knob (16) anticlockwise; to shut off the flow,
turn the knob (16) clockwise.
• Let the appliance heat up and empty the
remaining contents of the water tank by turning
the steam knob (16) anticlockwise; to stop the
flow, turn it clockwise.

I have now solved this problem. The lack of flow associated with the pump working but running quietly is caused by the Group Head being blocked with limescale. Normal descaling cannot remove it because it cannot penetrate the Group Head.
Removing the Group Bell can be achieved using a collection of screws (see photo) and works no matter how stubborn the thing: levering it with a screwdriver in my case was impossible as it was so well glued on.
I figure that the advice to replace the rubber seal once per year is a good one because it forces you to remove the Group Bell and clean it out.
In the user manual it says
What if F 10 shows?
- No water can be pumped from
the water tank.
- F 10 also shows, if the water tank
was not filled correctly during
descaling.
- Fill the system with water. See "Before
using the coffee system for the first
time".
- Remove and reinsert the water tank.
- Refill to the mark and restart descaling.
- If the message still shows, contact
Technical Service.
