What LED 30
actually means.

The BCC12 has a removable brewing group behind a side access door. A flashing LED 30 blocks the machine until the door is shut and the group is fitted correctly. A steady LED 30 is advice to clean coffee residue from around the group.

What to do when LED 30 shows on the coffee machine

Kind of codeBrew unit

The brew unit did not reach the position the control expected, or could not press and brew as it should: it is caked with old grounds, dry where it needs its grease, jammed by a dose too large, or its drive and seals are worn. On a machine with a removable unit, lifting it out with the power off and rinsing it is the owner's check; a fixed unit is cleaned by its own cycle, and anything past that is a visit.

Usually leads toCoffee machine brew unit repair

Resealing, lubricating or replacing the brew unit that tamps the grounds and presses water through them, removable or fixed.

Shows up asWhat a Coffee Machine Error Code or Warning Symbol Means

A coffee machine error code may show as a short string of letters and numbers, a flashing symbol for water, grounds or the brew unit, a short sentence on a text display, or a machine that stops with one light blinking.

What not to do

LED 30 is not the descale light and has nothing to do with scale. A drawer that jams can come from a machine turned off mid-cycle, which Smeg clears by switching it off and on.

Questions
about LED 30.

Can I clear LED 30 myself?
For a flashing light, close the side access door firmly and check the brewing group is fitted and seated. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
What is the difference between LED 30 flashing and steady on a Smeg BCC12?
Flashing means the door or the brewing group is not in place, and the machine is blocked. Steady means it is time to clean around the group.
Do I remove the Smeg BCC12 brewing group with the machine on?
Yes, on this countertop model Smeg says to take it out while the machine is on. That is the reverse of Smeg's built-ins.
Why does my Smeg BCC12 stop when I open the side door?
The door is part of the safety check. Opening it during a drink stops dispensing until it is shut.

Back to your everyday

Still showing LED 30?

Three things make the booking useful: the message or number exactly as the display showed it, the full model number from the plate, and whether the machine still grinds and pours at all. Send those and the likely part can be looked up before the van leaves.
