Nespresso u, the lights are flashing alternating

try pressing them both at the same time it will change the way its flashing and then it will come to normal but press both at the same time

Hello, Paul -

I found the user manual for the Nespresso C101 online:
https://www.nespresso.com/shared_res/manuals/essenza/2012/www_Essenza_C101_Z1_NESPRESSO(EN_FR_ES_BR).pdf

In the Troubleshooting section of the manual (page 14/image 16) for the problem of "irregular interval blinking" the solution given is to call the Nespresso Club.

Page 19 of the online manual gives a full list of Contacts by country name.

Best wishes.

You must re press both buttons at once again sow you will remove mashein from descaleing mode

1: Depending on how long you've had your machine, it may need descaling. The machines are preset for hard water - if you're in an area with soft water, try pressing and holding the Lungo button while you turn the machine on. Hold until the lights stop flashing.
2: The Pixie can be reset to factory settings by holding both buttons down before and when you turn the machine on, again until the lights stop flashing - this will reset to factory settings.
3: The temperature is preset to be the optimum temperature for the extraction process. If, after following the above steps, the temp is still too low, call the Nespresso Club and they will advise you.
Hope this is of help to you!

have you done descaling try pressing the two buttons at the same time but keep holding them for 5 second tell me is it flashing fast or slow?

Please see http://www.fixya.com/support/t14787831-nespresso_u_all_lights_flashing_pod for previous answer, or see troubleshooting at http://www.nespresso-us.com/media/product/PDF/38manual.pdf

Sorry chaps, all these suggestions are wrong. The orange light on the small cappuccino button means the unit needs to be descaled. See Nespresso support to download the user guide and you'll see this explained there

The instructions for your Nespresso LeCube 250 can be downloaded here:

The flashing light may indicate a problem with the heating system and proper water temperature is not being reached. Have you descaled your machine?
