Possible Causes

User reset procedure not completed, Faulty descale sensor logic, Control board firmware issue

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps to try:

  • Follow reset procedure: Consult the manual for the exact button sequence to reset the descale indicator (often holding the brew or power button for several seconds).
  • Power cycle: Unplug the unit for 10–15 minutes and then retry the reset sequence.
  • Repeat descale: If the indicator is sensor-based, run another descaling cycle to ensure all scale is removed.

If the light will not reset but the machine brews normally, this may be a minor control board fault and not affect operation.
