Possible Causes

Descaling cycle not completed correctly, Flow meter misreading volume, Firmware counter issue, User skipped steps

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Follow the user manual precisely when running maintenance cycles.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Repeat descaling: Run the full descaling cycle again, carefully following all prompts and ensuring you do not interrupt the process.
  • Confirm reset: After descaling, navigate to the maintenance menu (if available) and confirm that descaling has been performed.
  • Use correct descaler: Always use Saeco-approved descaler to ensure proper detection and flow.

When to call a technician: If the indicator will not reset despite correct procedure, the flow meter or control board may need calibration or replacement.
