"General Alarm" signalled. Have double cleaned everything still same message??

It is this whole assembly called the Central Electric Module:

Paper shredders are messy. Fine paper dust covers everything, get a can of compressed air and clean under the shredding wheels. Looking up from the bottom check for any sensors that might be plugged.

My built in SMEG coffee machine has a general alarm error, how do I fix it?

Try changing the source with the remote..

General alarm means the machine has detected a serious fault. There is a section in the instruction manual that may help. If not, read on.

Persistent "General Alarm"
This means many things. If the transmission is not stuck, check the main boiler has not burnt out (open circuit). This happens when the thermoblock labyrinth runs dry and overheats, a common problem caused by leaks, limescale, milk blockages or water filter contamination. Replacing the boiler is the only fix, a difficult and expensive process, experienced fixers (or nothing to lose) only.

Transmission
If the transmission is getting stuck there may be obstructions, the lead screw may be worn or the limit switches could be faulty. If cleaning and grease on the screw/bearings don't help then replacement is a tricky job only for confident hands. Approach with caution.

sounds like pcb assy fault... or check u have all parts in correctly ie tray ,bucket ect. bsc appliances 07779933829 postal service too .

From page 21 of the owner's manual: Message: general alarm. Meaning: The inside of the appliance is very dirty. What to do: Clean the inside of the appliance thoroughly, as described in section 15. If the message is still displayed after cleaning, contact a service center.
Hope that all your machine needs is a thorough cleaning; it's not that difficult.

Dude try the following steps it will help,else let me know the exact problem

1. Click Start > Connect To > Show all connections, and then double-click your wireless network.
2. Click General > Properties.
3. Click the Wireless Networks tab.
4. Under Preferred Networks, click your home network and then click Properties.
5. Click Authentication, then clear the Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network check box. (If you cannot click the check box, then you are not using 802.1x authentication or wireless security.)

The general alarm message after the machine taking too long to heat up -in deed shows a problem to reach the correct temperature.
So there are a number of possible causes:
the 2 heaters (water/steam) the NTCs(temperature control sensors)
the tempearature overheat-fuses. In my case it was the (water-)heater itself. Be sure to unplug the machine from power supply befor opening!!!
First test then-do the heaters warm up??.....carefull if they do-they are hot!!! If one of them doesn´t warm up- Unplug again!...and then measure the resistance of this heater-If the heater is ok,it should show around 50-58 ohms. If it shows indefinite resistance the heater is broken and you have to exchange it.
In case of both the heaters showing the~50ohms you will have to check the thermal resistors/fuse/NTC.
For me the two forums below wer of great help for me...of course they are in german...but didn´t you wish to learn a foreuage anyway???
Good luck and best regards

..tried looking for a solution and was able to find one.

just press *#7370#

it's like resetting the phone back to its default setting but it will delete everything you have saved on your phone like message and contacts.

worked for me :)
