MODEL-SPECIFIC QUICK ANSWER
Philips Barista Brew PSA3228/01 blinking lights and common signals
Philips says a blinking red Hot Water/Steam light can mean low water, a mis-seated tank, or brewing pressure that is too high. Fill and seat the tank first; if espresso is slow or only drips, use a coarser grind, lighter tamp, and the dose for the basket. A steady Descale light calls for the manual’s descaling cycle.
