Nespresso Citiz, Inissia and Pixie: Lights blinking irregularly

Nespresso lists irregular blinking as a fault. The Pixie manual adds one cause you can clear yourself: the machine may still be in descaling mode.

What Nespresso says to do

  1. Pixie: first leave the descaling procedure (press both coffee buttons for 3 seconds).
  2. If it goes on, send the appliance for repair or call the Nespresso Club.

If that does not fix it: Call the Nespresso Club (the manuals’ wording).

From CitiZ — My Machine (user manual): Energy saving mode, First use, Coffee preparation, Emptying the system, Reset to factory settings, Descaling and Troubleshooting and Inissia (user manual): Energy saving mode, Coffee preparation, Emptying the system, Reset to factory settings, Descaling and Troubleshooting and Pixie — My Machine (user manual): First use, Coffee preparation, Energy saving mode, Emptying the system, Reset to factory settings, Descaling and Troubleshooting. This is the Citiz, Inissia and Pixie’s pattern; another Nespresso machine may use the same light for something else — check the manual for your model.

The same need shows up as a different light on each machine — which is why a light cannot be read without the machine.
