Choose the warning shown on your machine. Check the model number and compare the full pattern with the manufacturer’s instructions before trying a fix.
Select your brand, then confirm the exact model and full code or light pattern. Indicator lights can change meaning when they flash instead of staying on. This database distinguishes manufacturer-documented meanings from possible causes; it does not diagnose an internal component from a display alone.

Check the rating label and model revision before following a repair or reset procedure.
Indicator
General alarm / red triangle
What it means
A broad alarm on some Magnifica Evo panel variants. It does not identify a failed component; compare the exact icon and steady/flashing pattern with the manual for your ECAM29X code.
Possible causes
- A removable part, service door or infuser is not correctly seated.
- The accessible interior needs cleaning.
- An unresolved internal fault is possible if the alarm remains.
What you can check yourself
- Photograph the panel and find the full ECAM model on the rating label.
- Check tank, drip tray, grounds bin and service door without forcing the infuser.
Diagnostic sequence
- Switch off normally and allow the shutdown cycle to finish.
- Remove and correctly reseat the user-removable parts.
- Inspect and clean the infuser only if the exact manual permits its removal.
- Start once and compare the remaining light pattern with your variant manual.
When to contact service
Stop if the alarm persists, the infuser is stuck, there is an internal leak, or the machine trips power; contact De’Longhi service.
Only follow this entry if the manual for your exact ECAM29X panel identifies the observed red icon as a general alarm.

Indicator
Descale indicator
What it means
The Magnifica Evo requests its programmed descaling process; the symbol and button sequence depend on the ECAM variant.
Possible causes
- Descaling is due.
- A previous programmed descale/rinse sequence was interrupted.
What you can check yourself
- Check the model code and the specific panel symbols.
- Check whether the machine is requesting a solution or rinse stage.
Diagnostic sequence
- Follow the exact ECAM manual to enter descale mode.
- Complete every solution and rinse phase without interrupting it.
- Check the indicator after the machine returns to ready.
When to contact service
Contact support if the process cannot advance despite correctly fitted tank and accessories, or the indicator remains after a documented full cycle.
