Nespresso Vertuo machines (Next, Plus, Pop, Evoluo) error codes
Vertuo machines report most faults as blinking-light patterns; the numeric 1300-family codes appear on connected models. Both are covered here.
Nespresso documents light patterns on its assistance pages; the numeric codes come from machine displays and owner reports, so treat them as strong community signals rather than an official list.
All codes
| Code | Meaning | Fault | DIY |
|---|---|---|---|
1301-1305 | Descale-system and pod-sensor fault family on connected Vertuo machines — the machine is stuck in descale mode or the capsule sensor is misreading | descale or pod-sensor fault | easy |
Blinking lights | The Vertuo light patterns are the machine error language: blink colour and count identify heating, descale and fault states | light-pattern decoder | easy |
