Top 20 Saeco Odea Giro Espresso Maker - Black/Silver Questions & Answers

everything what you have to do is to turn hot water to start,then after 10-15 seconds stop machine and turn it off. Wait about 10 minutes and rinse rest of descaling agent.Then fill the watertank with fresh water and rinse again trought hot water. When the water finish your machine is descaled.Then press hot water/steam button for 5-6 seconds and light go of. That is all.

Make sure that you place the brew group the same way that you usually do after you take it out ie. make sure that the coffee grind collector is sitting vertically, and is depressed down. You may need to jiggle and move the pieces around for this to happen. Then make sure that you depress the tab in the center fully to the right until it clicks before trying to place it back in. Lastly, make sure that you clean any coffee grinds that may be sitting on the surface and which may prevent you from placing the brew group fully into the machine. Hope this helps, good luck!

Might need some urn cleaner to do a proper job. Scale is dry chemicals that you want remove so use the proper cleaning agent.

if the grider is gone, it not start to grind beans!

is the water available for brewing? are there enough beans for brewing? is there anything that shipped with the unit blocking the grounds?

50/50 solution vinegar 50% filtered water and 50% vinegar. fill reservoir with this solution as if you were making a pot of coffee. Run 2 or 3 pots fresh filtered water thru unit to clear out vinegar taste.

So many faults can cause this problem.The most common is the brew unit requires cleaning and regreasing as per the instruction manual.

Had the same problem, if you used steam or hot water, make certain the steam knob on top is all the way back in the close position, if not the red exclamation sign will stay lit.

To clean the grinder try using a tablespoon of rice and run it through, make sure to stop machine after grinding.

Same problem here. I've googled and see that there are many people with the same problem but no clues about how to solve it:

My Saeco Odea Giro is flashing two lights alternatelly (Dregdrawer Light and Descaling Light). What's the problem and how can I solve it?

Hi, Turn off the machine and turn back on again. If both lights are permanently on that means you need to empty the dreg tray. Pull out the tray and wait until the red light start flashing, then put back the tray, the red light will go off.
Another meaning is when you press the coffee button and see the red light came on, that means the grinder motor is not working. Hope it will help.

Hope this can help:

I managed to take mine apart because I was having a lot of leaking steam from the steam wand (as posted earlier). I followed your instructions, and all worked very well. Just to prepare readers, this is what I found. The green seal on the steam end was torn, as previously described. I noticed it start to "drag" a bit during use (daily for the past year), and it must have stuck and torn over time. See photos. I replaced with a part from ACE, see photo. Be sure to lube before re-assembly. Hope the photos help!

The flashing indicator light means something needs to be refilled or emptied.

Hi,

Make sure everything is fitted in place, there are several sensors that can bring the lamp to light. I have not heard that the water sensor is gone on Odea machine.

Can the machine run the selftest and can you see any water come out?

Hi.
First turnthe machine on.
Then take out everything watertank, dreg draw and brewingunit and have the door opened to the brewing area.

have them out for about 1 minute and then put it back together again.
if this dosent help please check if the machine respond to removing the dregdraw, beanlid.

It will do it by making the constant red ligth flash instead.

if they respond make sure that the watertank is filled to max.
if that is the case it is the watertank sensor that is broken.

No power, broken wire, bad connection, blown fuse, bad heating element, bad switch, ad infinitum.

maybe somthing broke
