When the red exclamation point is flashing slow, something is not where it is supposed to be, bean hopper lid, door, brew mech, water tank empty, dregs box or water tray on dregs container is full. If the red exclamation point is flashing quickly, open the steam valve for pump priming. If pump turns on, and water passes correctly, the light should go off and return to heating stage. If not, we have a blockage or a pump that is not working correctly.
Have you tried draining off some back-pressure. That often is what the rapid flash means. Try pushing the hot water button then opening the steam valve. A few seconds after the pump comes on to push water out, the red light should go off. If it takes more than a few seconds, that's probably not the problem. hope this helps.
Is it the red light flashing and the water button light also on? That means air in the system.If the flow of water is not steady, make sure water tank is fully push in.
The next thing you can check is the test mode which is not given in the manual.Hold down water button and switch on the machine,you will see the lights turning on alternately in anti clockwise direction. Release the button.Turn the dial to the right and press the coffee button, water pump will work.Turn on the steam/water knob and keep pressing the coffee button until all the air is purge out. Dial on other positions will test other components of the machine,such as grinder, solenoid valve , brew group,etc: I hope you can solve your problem with this information.
You have to 'manually' prime the pump: When the red exclamation mark shows, press the water switch on the right side (the picture of the water drip), then open up the steam nozzle and let the machine pump hot water into a cup until the red light goes out.
Bypass the door interlock with a magnet (the red light will go out when you have the magnet correctly placed above the group). Brew a cup and watch to see how the water is getting into the hopper. Once you know how it is getting into the hopper it should be relatively easy to determine how to fix it.
This is a common problem that is not explained in the manual. Turn the left silver knob on the top deck of the machine past the steam icon to the water drop icon. Let about eight ounces of water out into a cup and the circuit is primed.
