Turn off Nespresso light

Step 1. Check if the lever is properly closed.
Step 2. Check if the coffee capsule is placed correctly.
Step 3. Empty the container.
Step 4. Refill the water tank and push the button for coffee.

Step 1: check if the lever is properly closed

Check if the lever is properly locked in place. You close it after inserting a coffee capsule into the machine. If the lever isn't properly closed, the light might blink irregularly.

Step 2: check if the capsule is placed correctly

Open the lever and check if the coffee capsule is placed correctly. Remove the capsule and put it back in the machine. Press the button to brew a cup of coffee. Does the machine still not work? Grab a different capsule and try again.

Step 3: empty the container

The container might be full. Empty the container, just to be sure. That way, the coffee capsules can't get stuck in the machine.

Step 4: refill the water tank

Refill the water tank to the line that indicates the maximum capacity and press the button to brew a coffee. You don't have to put a capsule into the machine. The machine should now be restored.

Do the solutions above not work? The machine might be defect and has to be looked at. Contact Nespresso for this.
