Sounds like a defect in the main board. Call Krups customer support for what the options are in replacing the machine. This is not caused by yourself.

Just found the answer!
The type 453 coffee maker offers a carafe ‘pre-warm’ function.
This feature will heat the carafe for 5-10 minutes before the brewing process begins and is indicated by a flashing red light.
To toggle this feature, push the top-right button in the control panel until the display reads "off".

See post on leaking xp7240. It is almost the same machine. This post explains how to fix it (valve is blocked but can be easily cleaned)
SOURCE: We have a Krups KP1010 pod brewing machine which
The most posibble problem from your description but since usualy happents when the machine stay in the store for long time is that the vibrating pump and ot other parts like valves, boiler have been stuck and goggled from dry calcium which were in the all water sytem parts of the machines.
When you keep themachine frequntly used you are avoding this situation.
Now the machine need to completely desasemble and every one of the above parts must be cleaned with a wire brush so the calcium layer move out. If you used to decalcify the machine often before put in in the store then their is a big chance that you will need only to clean parts. However if you did not decalcify offten then you might need to replace some parts like boiler thermoblock which due to the costruction it can not be recover bck to its original condition.
So if you are not able to do the above your self then we strongly advice to get a quate before proceeding with maintnance since if it is more than half the replacement cost with a new machine then we advice to proceed with replacement.
Good luck and thanks for using FixYa.
It is possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors due to feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program controller must initiate the INLET/MOTOR/DRAIN pump/ valve to open up and allow each function to be driven starting from the flow of water into the drum as also the drain valve to open to exit the water at the point of the program cycle. If this does not happen then the voltage at the valve/motor/pump must be checked or the fault relates to no voltage from the controller. This means the controller is a suspect.
If the water flows then the flow should be good, if not the inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the inlet of the water line. Once the water comes into the system the WATER LEVEL SENSOR - normally a pressure switch- must activate at the preset/chosen level to give the signal to the program controller to switch on the motor. What is most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switch must be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting the motor for rinse and wash.
Check this link to replace the inlet valve:
Finally after the wash the drain valve will be activated, the water is allowed to come in to rinse and then finally the dry spin with the drain valve/pump activated so as to drain off all the water from the clothes during the spin.
Make sure that a fault in any of the cycle will relate to the specified action, so check the command from the program module and then the executing device be it the valve or motor or pump.
