Elmeco Slush Machine Error Code ALARM SOLVED: Alarms Cleared
ALARM SOLVED on an Elmeco First Class slush machine is an information window shown when one or more alarms have been cleared. The manual does not treat it as a malfunction. No action is listed beyond the standard warning to disconnect the power cable.
Low: an information message; the machine keeps running.

What does Elmeco ALARM SOLVED mean?
Most First Class alarms mean something needs attention. ALARM SOLVED is the opposite. After pressing the MENU button for one second while the board blinks, this window tells you that one or more alarms that had been active have been cleared. The manual calls it an information window and says it is not a problem by itself. It gives no causes and no actions, only the standard reminder to disconnect the power cable before working on the machine. So reading it is simple: the board has seen the cause go away and is saying so. The useful question is what alarm was there before. If you did not see the earlier alarm, it may have cleared on its own, for example after a voltage swing settled, or because you corrected a probe or cable. A repeated ALARM SOLVED after a few hours suggests something intermittent is coming and going.

- The machine runs normally
- An alarm that was showing earlier has gone
Possible causes
Likely causes — what usually sits behind ALARM SOLVED on this control. A technician confirms which one it is before any part is replaced.
- One or more previous alarms cleared
- A voltage swing that settled by itself
- A loose probe or cable connection that made contact again
- Product refilled so that the level probe sensed liquid again
Safe checks before calling for service
- Note which alarm you saw before, if any.
- If the machine is running normally, no action is required.
- If it shows ALARM SOLVED repeatedly, write down the times and what was happening.
- Disconnect the power cable first if you plan to touch the machine, as the manual warns.
How a technician diagnoses ALARM SOLVED
- Read the alarm history on the board to see which alarm cleared.
- Ask when the earlier alarm appeared and what changed.
- Check the connection or supply tied to that earlier alarm.
- Watch the machine through a full cycle for a repeat.
- Correct any recurring cause that is found.
- Confirm no new alarm appears.
- The alarm that was cleared may point to a live-power or probe problem that needs a meter.
- Intermittent contact is hard to find without testing the wiring.
- If the same alarm keeps clearing and returning, the board's inputs need checking.
