As you press the power button, waiting for a signal to move on to the next step, you realize something is wrong because the button is not lighting up. Don’t let this missing light ruin your mood. It is a very common issue, and you can easily solve it. But why is there no light on the button? Following are the causes of why there is no light on the button of your Vertuo machine. Let’s dive into the causes and find out their solutions.
The outlet is not functioning correctly.
Check the power supply. If the outlet you are using does not function properly, then try to connect your machine to some other outlet available at your place.
The machine is not correctly plugged into the outlet.
Ensure that your machine is firmly connected to the power outlet because it is essential that your machine is getting the right amount of electricity.
The voltage supply in the outlet is different from the machine.
Check the voltage to make sure it is appropriate for your coffee machine.
The fuse has blown.
Check the fuse of your machine; it may not be lighting up because the fuse has blown.
The most possible reason is that your machine has switched off because of its energy-saving feature. Nespresso machines are equipped with power saving mode, which automatically turns off the machine after nine minutes of inactivity.
Press the power button or unlock the machine by moving the lever to the left.
Nothing can make you more depressed than a nonfunctional coffee machine. When you turn on your Nespresso Vertuo machine to get a delicious coffee, an empty cup is there to greet you because no coffee and water are coming out of the coffee outlet. I know it is difficult for a coffee lover to survive a day without coffee. But instead of panicking, read this guide to understand why it is happening in your machine and how you can fix it. Let’s troubleshoot this issue together. Here are the causes of this issue: no coffee, no water coming out of your Vertuo machine mentioned below. Read them and follow the solutions I have listed in this guide to fix this issue.
The water tank is empty if no coffee or water flows out of your machine.
Check the water tank. If it is empty, then fill it with fresh drinking water and place the tank back in its position.
If you don’t place a capsule correctly, your Nespresso Vertuo machine won’t be able to detect or puncture the capsule foil to start the brewing process. Hence, no coffee will flow out of the coffee outlet.
Open the head of the machine and check the capsule is in the correct position; if not, put it again with the dome shape of the capsule facing downward.
If the machine is not locked correctly, it will not start working.
Check the lever position. To close the lever properly, firmly close the machine head by moving it down and move the lever to the left to lock the machine.
Suppose you live in an area with high water hardness. In that case, chances are that your machine is blocked because high minerals cause limescale to build up in the inner metallic parts, such as the heating element and pipes of your machine, and then these scales start blocking the lines affecting the coffee and water flow.
The warmth of coffee greatly enhances the flavor, but if your Nespresso Vertuo machine is not preparing a hot coffee, it can ruin your mood because nobody wants to drink a less flavorful and less hot cup of coffee on a chilly day. Do you want to fix this issue? But how can you fix it? To fix a problem, you need to understand the causes first, and I am here to help you understand the causes and troubleshoot this issue. Let’s dive into why your freshly brewed coffee is not hot enough and figure out the possible fixes for this issue. Following are the causes and solutions of why you are not getting a hot coffee from your Nespresso Vertuo machine.
If your Nespresso Vertuo machine is not preparing a hot coffee, It is because when freshly brewed hot coffee flows into your cup, the temperature of the coffee reduces as a result of heat transfer.
You can keep your coffee warm till the last sip of it by preheating your cup. It can help prevent heat transfer and maintain your coffee temperature for longer. There are some ways to preheat your cup.
The heating element is damaged or blocked by the mineral deposits. It usually happens because of water with high mineral content, which forms mineral deposits over time, causes blockage in the pipes, and affects the heating element of your machine. Hence, do not allow the machine to reach the optimum temperature for brewing.
You need to descale your machine if you last descaled it a long time. That saying is true” Prevention is better than cure.” So, try to descale your machine per Nespresso‘s recommendation after every six months of using your machine to prevent the formation of mineral deposits inside. For details see the section “Descaling Instructions” under the “Problem 2 (Cause 4)”.
It is frustrating when you need coffee, but your machine starts acting up. If the light on your Nespresso Vertuo machine is steady, but the machine doesn’t start working, don’t worry. Everything happens because of a reason, just like this issue. I’ll tell you the possible causes and solutions to this issue. Here are the causes and the solutions of why your Nespresso Vertuo machine is not working but showing a steady light on the button. Let’s check them out and fix this issue.
The capsule is not in the correct position. If the capsule is not in place, the machine will not be able to detect the capsule. Hence, the machine will not start working.
If you want to make an Espresso, open the machine head and ensure that the capsule is not damaged and inserted correctly in the holder. And, always use a new capsule to brew coffee.
The lever of the machine is not correctly locked. The lever needs to be in a locked position for the machine to start working.
Check the lever position on your machine. The lever must be locked for the correct operation of your Nespresso Vertuo machine. So, close the machine head firmly and move the lever to the left in the lock position. Then press the button to start brewing.
If a capsule is in the capsule compartment while cleaning or descaling, the machine will not start the operation because there is no need for a capsule to be there when you are cleaning the machine.
If you are trying to run a cleaning cycle in your machine or descaling it, make sure the capsule holder is empty. If a capsule is inside, open the machine head and let the used capsule eject into the used capsule container. Then after removing the capsule, close the head firmly, and lock the machine by moving the lever to the left. Press the button to start cleaning or descaling your machine.
If you encounter a situation where your Nespresso Vertuo machine is not working, the light is blinking alternately. It indicates a specific issue in your machine. Don’t worry. I will take you to the bottom of it. You need to check a few things in your machine. I have mentioned the causes and solutions of why your Vertuo machine is blinking alternately. Without making you wait any longer, let’s get started and make your machine back to normal blinking.
If the light is blinking alternately, maybe because your machine is giving you an empty water tank alert. Can a coffee maker brew without water? Obviously not! Thanks to this alert feature of your Nespresso Vertuo machine.
Check the water level by looking inside the water tank. If the level is low or the tank is empty, fill the water tank and put it back on its arm. After filling the water tank, the light will stop blinking and start brewing your coffee.
The lever is not in a locked position, and the machine cannot start working until the machine is not locked correctly.
Check the lever of your machine. If not correctly locked, move it to the left in the lock position.
If you notice a flashing light on the button while your coffee machine is working, your mind will signal there is something wrong, but wait, relax, and don’t let false thoughts enter your mind. There is nothing to worry about because not every blinking light gives a negative signal. It’s normal and indicates your machine is performing the function correctly. Let’s find out how it’s normal and why the machine is flashing while running. Following are the causes of flashing lights while your machine is working and how you can fix it if there is any issue.
If you notice the coffee is flowing normally from the coffee outlet, it means your machine is brewing coffee.
It means your machine is working correctly and performing the function according to your request.
If only water comes out of the coffee outlet, cleaning or descaling is in progress. If the light blinks even after cleaning is completed, then the machine is stuck in descaling mode.
Exit the descaling mode by holding the power button for seven seconds. The blinking light becomes steady as the machine exits the descaling mode. Also, if you don’t want to continue the descaling process, you can stop the process anytime. Press the button, and the machine will stop working.
