If it is a steady light water tank is not properly in OR dregs counting and drip tray is full. Pull out the drip tray and wait for the red light changes in to flashing, then put back the drip tray.

When the upper and lower, dregs box and descale light, are flashing alternatively, this means that either the grinder or the brew group motor, sensors or switches are not responding to the CPU or pwr board. This will need to be brought to a Saeco Service center for repair. I would not attempt to repair without proper working knowledge of the cpu and pwr system.

The main reason for the Fast flashing red is with the water flow meter. located at the back part of the machine below the power connector - its functionality can be checked in diagnostic mode .see attached pictures its either stuck due to in proper descaling or have corrosion in the connector contact of the flow meter.You can fined the full service manual at Partsguru http://www.partsguru.com/user/SERVICE%20MANUAL%20TALEA%20ODEA%20REV.03.pdf

The problem is with the flow meter which is a turbine unit that is installed before the pump.Either there is a blockage or the unit is bad.Have to open the machine to get into it.

This is way I had to move to a semi-automatic. Espresso with this machine will never be as strong as you'd like, especially after some period of use. You can try to make the ground finer by turning the dial in the beans basket. No other options available.

Here is a walkthrough i made....http://odeago.zxq.net/Odea_Go_Repair/Welcome.html

Making froth with a steam wand is an entire technique. Also depends if it has a panarello or not

Is the steam pressure seem normal when you bent it? If not, maybe the nozzle may be clogged. Try to remove it and check if the hole is clean. Other idea, The plastic tube that bring hot water to the steam nozzle may be kinked. Machine may have to be open to check it

Have you tried draining off some back-pressure. That often is what the rapid flash means. Try pushing the hot water button then opening the steam valve. A few seconds after the pump comes on to push water out, the red light should go off. If it takes more than a few seconds, that's probably not the problem. hope this helps.

yes you can if you have the tools and know what you are doing.good luck

Have you check if the knob on the top of the machine to distribute hot water is fully closed. If on the edge, you may not get hot water flowing but the light may be on. Look on page 12 of the manual. It explain the the meaning of the led flashing or stayed on from the control panel Good luck

Maybe the coffee is down, around the waste container. In this case the grinder must be opened probably the cofee funnel is jammed or is not in his place to direct the grinded coffee.

Press and hold the hot water button for about 10 seconds. After the delay, the descaling alarm will be erased :)
