Display or indicator light for 'descale' remains on even after descaling.

Possible Causes

Incorrect descale reset procedure, Faulty flow meter not registering volume, Firmware glitch, Stuck descale flag in control PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before opening the housing.

  • Follow reset steps: Consult the Tristar manual for the exact button sequence to reset the descale light. Often this involves holding a specific button for several seconds after a descale cycle.
  • Run another rinse cycle: Sometimes the control requires a certain volume of water to clear the indicator. Run 1–2 full tanks of clean water through the machine.
  • Check flow meter (advanced): Ensure the flow meter is functioning and its connector is secure. If it does not send pulses, the control will not register the descale as complete.

Note: If the light remains on but the machine works normally, it may be a minor firmware issue; you can continue using the unit but monitor for real scale buildup.
