What to do when Fill Tank and Descale symbols flashing together shows on the coffee machineKind of codeControl board and power
The electronics that read the keys and run the grinder, the pump and the heater have flagged a problem with themselves or with the power reaching them: a supply that dipped or spiked, a board that lost its settings after an outage, a display or touch panel that stopped answering, or a relay that stuck. One switch-off at the key or the breaker clears a passing glitch; a message that returns, or any hot smell, means the power stays off and a technician tests the board.
