When warmed up the light flashes alternately red and green instead of steady green. Have descaled but makes no difference. Still works ok

SOURCE: After performing a descaling cycle, the descaling light still flashes, what is wrong?

The manual states that after you descale, you have to hold down the hot water button for 6 seconds, that will turn it off and "reset the timer" till the next time it needs to descale.

SOURCE: Lights for descale and grounds drawer flashing red

Have you ventilated the machine . turn to hot water and see if can get water out .

SOURCE: after descaling the red light will not go off

Use a citric acid based descaling solution rather than a cleaning based solution.

You have to ensure the descaling function runs completely to the end. Occasionally the water tank will be empty BEFORE the descaling program has finished, in which case you should refill it and let it continue descaling.

The light wiill automatically go off once the descaling program has been fully completed.

The sensors on these machines can be a little temperamental, so we often see them in for warranty repair because of this.The water level sensor is a white rectangular piece (1" x 1/2" x 1/4") located between the water tank and the grinder. Check out.Keep updated.Thanks.

You can't manually reset. The machine will have to do it. I had the same problem, two green flashing lights with one red (water) all 3 would just keep flashing and not turn solid. No coffee can be made or hot water. I could not pump prime. The problem was the steam wand was blocked with old milk residue. It needs unblocking or you will never pump prime. I could not unscrew the steam wand...so I let it sink in a glass full of hot water for a few minutes and then turned the water knob counter clockwise to push out the softened residue. After that, everything was good. When water started flowing out of the steam wand, the red light turned off and the green lights turned solid. The obvious answer to why you can't pump prime is there is a blockage somewhere and best to start with the steam wand. --Mabada
