Frequently Asked Questions

What does the flashing error code on my Lavazza machine mean?

A flashing code is the machine's way of naming the fault — the code itself tells you which module to check. Error codes on Lavazza machines usually point to a specific condition: a full drip tray, an empty water tank, a stuck brew unit, or scale buildup. The most common codes are listed in our Error Code Flashing guide — most are cleared by a power reset or a descaling cycle.
