There is a water level sensor that reminds the operator to refill water.
In most automatic machines there is a float magnet that rises with the level of water to indicate the water level.

In other machines the weight of water in the water container activates a micro switch located under the water tank.
Check the micro switch by manually operating it. Make sure the weight of water in the container is on the micro switch and activated to eliminate the blinking error signal.
I do not know of any coffee machine that will ignore an error signal and continue to make coffee.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/edward_bbd2c7ff4ee1828a

SOURCE: water light keeps blinking and won't brew coffee?

it sounds like either the pump is giving out or the flowmeter.

since it is releasing water from teh steam valve, i'd aim more for the flowmeter giving out.

Not sure if saeco sells them to the public. Usually gets sent out for repair. Repair will run ya 100-150 usually.

SOURCE: Cuisinart Grind & Brew not using all the water in the reservoir

I was having problems like this and then I read on a different string on this website that people have had success by flushing the system numerous times (sometimes up to six times) with vinegar. I took out the charcoal filter and flushed once with vinegar but only saw a small amount of improvement. I was out of vinegar so I used Lemishine mixed with water and it went from making one cup to making a full pot with one flush.

Yes it is possible to go the the next larger element.
Yes if the machine was plumbed there would be a difference in the way it brewed the water temp. if you look at the end hose in the pan from the solenoid, it takes a while for it to pour out 3liters.
Try using a different sprayhead(if yo;u are using a 6 hole try getting a 5 hole. That will constrain the flow of water a little more allowing the element more time the heat the water.

SOURCE: Water doesn't come down when brewing

I had the same problem, and it turned out it was the top needle that was clogged. I used a safety pin to clean out the needle and it worked again . . . I descaled immediately, just in case it needed that too. I am back to coffee goodness!

All lights are blinking on coffee maker & unable to brew.

The cups only brew one mug at a time. Open and close the lid to check if that resets itself.
Otherwise, turn the machine off and on again to "reset" the function. Also check that there is enough water

How do you adjust the water level

After the first brew the machine should brew excactly the amount of water added to the water reservoir. Since the reservoir always keep half full then you should add the maximum amount you need in two steps.

Hi, Please go through some of the information in the user manual which you would be able to access by clicking on the below web link:- http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/h/hd7850_60/hd7850_60_dfu_eng.pdf Usually the light on the front of the machine keeps blinking because There is not enough water in the water reservoir or the reservoir is not properly been placed.So take out the water reservoir of the machine. Check if there is enough water in the water reservoir (i.e above the 1 cup MIN level if you want to brew 1 cup and above the 2 cups minimum level if you want to brew 2 cups) and replace the water reservoir. Thank you for your time and best wishes for your effort.

How do you drain a Keurig b40 coffee maker?

Empty the water reservoir and put back on the side of the Kurig. Put your hand in the reservoir and slide the disc that monitors the water level back toward the top and and hold in that position,the machine will think there is water. Then put a cup under the head and select a cup. The water will come out. You must hold the disc up inside the reservoir to continue to get the water out.
