Nespresso Coffee Maker Codes

• Red Blink Rapid A rapidly blinking red button (pattern: 2 quick blinks then long off) means the machine detected a fault it can't auto-clear.
• Orange Descales Orange light (steady or rapid) is the descale reminder — not a failure.
• Heating / Warm-up White light patterns are status indicators, not errors — but misreading them as faults is common.
