VerifiedHiya,
When it beeps continuously, look at the start light.
It should be flashing an error code.
Count the number of flashes between pauses and let me know how many.
Thanks
Hiya,
OK, thanks for that.
The most likely cause of the problem is the pressure switch.
Less likely is the main control board.
Take the bottom basket out.
Take the filters out.
Look into the sump and on the right side you'll see a black grid.
Carefully clean this out of any debris and then pour a kettle of boiling water into the sump, getting as much as possible into the black grid.
Try the machine again.
If it doesn't work, try cleaning the grid again but be careful not to puncture the membrane.
If it still gives 4 flashes you'll need to begin replacing parts, beginning with the pressure switch.
Try it out, see how it goes.
Hope this helps
Let me know how it goes or if you need more help
Thanks
