DeLonghi Magnifica XS Espresso
9 fault codes documented
Descaling light flashing - Appliance needs descaling
A flashing descaling light indicates that your DeLonghi Magnifica XS espresso machine has accumulated mineral deposits and requires a descaling cycle. Regular descaling is crucial for maintaining performance and extending the life of the appliance.
Descaling light solid - Descaling cycle in progress
A steady descaling light indicates that the DeLonghi Magnifica XS is currently performing its descaling cycle. This is a normal operational status during the descaling process.
Grounds container light flashing - Container full
A flashing light for the grounds container means it is full of used coffee pucks and needs to be emptied. The DeLonghi Magnifica XS will not allow further operation until this is done.
Grounds container light solid - Container missing
A steady light for the grounds container indicates that the container is either not inserted into the appliance or is not correctly seated. The machine cannot operate without it.
Light flashing - Machine heating up or rinse cycle in progress
This light indicates the espresso machine is either warming up to the correct operating temperature or currently performing an automatic rinse cycle. This is a normal operational status.
Steam function light flashing - Turn the steam dial
The steam function light is flashing, prompting you to turn the steam dial. This prepares the machine to dispense steam for frothing milk.
Plug not fitting - Power plug cannot be fully inserted into outlet
The DeLonghi Magnifica XS uses a polarized plug, meaning one blade is wider than the other, and it's designed to fit into the power outlet only one way for safety. If it doesn't fit, it might be oriented incorrectly or the outlet could be an older, obsolete type.
Water tank light flashing - Low water level
A flashing water tank light indicates that there is not enough water in the tank for the DeLonghi Magnifica XS to operate. The machine needs sufficient water to brew coffee or perform other functions.
Water tank light solid - Tank missing
A steady light indicates that the water tank is not correctly placed in the DeLonghi Magnifica XS or is completely missing. The machine requires the water tank to be present for any operation.
