The red warning/exclamation light on my Philips 2000/2100 is on or flashing.

This light can be steady on, blinking, or is lighted in combination with other lights.
All combinations have a different solution, which are described below.

Cause:
The coffee grounds container is full, or emptied while the machine was switched OFF.

Solution:
Empty the coffee grounds container while the machine is ON. Make sure that the warning light flashes before you reinsert the coffee grounds container.

Cause:
There is no water in the internal circuit.

Solution:
Fill the internal circuit by dispensing hot water.

1. Turn the control dial to the hot water icon and let hot water come out of the machine until the water flows continuously.
2. Turn back the control dial to the bean icon when the water flows continuously.

Multiple Causes:
The brewing unit is not correctly inserted, the coffee grounds container is not inserted or the service door is open or the control dial is not in the correct position.

Solution:
Make sure the brewing unit and coffee grounds container are inserted correctly, the service door is closed and the control dial is in the correct position. If you cannot take out the brewing unit or place it back, switch the machine off and back on again.

Cause:
The coffee bean container is empty.

Solution:
Refill the coffee bean container

Please identify in which situation all four lights started to flash and try the corresponding solution.
