The machine does this based on the number of runs it’s been through and not how blocked it might be, so you can reset the light back to green by running through the service settings but without the descaler if you wish.
Just hold the power button down for 5 seconds until the light begins to flash, run through a cup of hot water, than a cup of cold water, then turn it off. The light should now be green next time you use it.
If you do want to perform a real clean of the machine, steps on what to do can be seen in this official video.
Was in a panic when the amber light 💡 came on got my wife one of these coffee machines as a present 🎁 she loves her coffee thought 💭 I had broke it she never needs to know until next time and she thinks she has broken it and I come to the rescue (my hero) lol
hahahahhaa that is so cool 😂😂
Ive held my button down when on orange and it just turns the machine straight off??
Yes l have the same problem how do you press down the on /off to turn it to flashing amber. It just turns it off.
The machine needs to be in standby first. Just leave it alone for a minute and the lights should go out. Then hold the power button down.
Thanks for the advice. I have just resolved the amber light issue with our coffee maker.
Thankyou, I thought my coffee machine was brocken xx
thank you so much its all fixed
This hasnt worked for me.I descaled my machine and done it as per instructions with timing correct. Then followed this guide. No luck at all the amber light just wont go away.
Same here. What did you do?
I phoned the supplier up and a support assistant helped me.
When turning on keep the button pressed in and connect power(power on) when the button flashes green give it quick press.
It should now go green and be steady green.
You might have to turn machine off/on again , but once it became steady green it was fine.
Hi thanks Neil, tried descaling etc to no avail. But your advise worked perfectly. Jean.
I have the same issue
Sorted follow the video…https://youtu.be/TsK52d7R0fA
Thanks Neil Coltman, just followed your instructions and as if by magic I now have a steady green light
Hi there. I have a DG Oblo. On turning on the machine a red light comes on for a second or two, then flashes yellow for about 30 seconds, then a permanent red light. Can’t get the machine to operate because of the permanent red light. Any ideas? Does the red light means the machine is completely shot?
I have the same problem, I changed the 2 condensators, but the red light still permanent after the yellow blinking.
Have a look in your machine’s box for the manual (or you can Google it- the manual is also available online). See the descale section and follow the instructions.

Thank you
Had a same problem. Even changed control board.
problem was a film on the power switch button that slid to the side. I put this film to original place and secured with adhesive tape.
Everything now is work.
Brilliant followed instructions and like magic it worked x

Unfortunately a red light tends to suggest the machine has a fault. You’ll probably find it cheaper to buy a new one.
Hi, machine needs descaling. Check your manual for descale instructions. If you can find it search online for ‘dolce gusto oblo instruction manual’, there should be one on the dolce gusto website.
