While it’s doing all that blinking and humming:
- Take off the reservoir lid.
- Grab hold of the reservoir with one hand and pump the tank up and down (basically lift the tank up a little and bring it back down, over and over).
- At the same time, with your other hand, cover the overflow elbow plastic tube at the top of the reservoir. You’ll feel a slight suction the more you pump.
- Hopefully one or both of the cup buttons are lit-press one when it’s trying to pump the water through, cover the elbow again here and there to create suction. Water should flow through where the coffee goes.
Side notes:
This is the model with just two size cup options, power and auto off buttons, and lights for add water, descale, and heating.
Problem:
When turned on, it would hum for a while before any other light would come on. When it did, add water, heating, and one cup light were blinking. Water would not pass through.
Tried:
Cleaned out the needle part with a paperclip.
Opened the top part and squeezed the tubes in case there was blockage.
Pressing auto off and power button at the same time.
All the tips and videos I could find, etc, but maybe they all helped contribute to fixing it but it wasn’t until I pumped the reservoir AND covered the elbow that it worked.
GOOD LUCK!

This may or may not help...
There is an internal check-valve that shuts the pump off if it senses back-pressure. Some people have success just squeezing the internal check-valve to break up calcium clogging it.
(I thoroughly cleaned my own out like this guy did, but you may not want to go that far.)

I removed the reservoir, took a butter knife wrapped in a piece of paper towel, and pressed/jiggled the bottom thingy (that the reservoir sits in and senses water). Bingo! Coffee again.

I did the process countless times. Turned machine off then back on, then pressed a button (I rotated). It finally worked and I’m sipping my coffee now. It sounds like the machine is struggling to prime
