the price a engineer is going to charge for call out, check the conncection to the refil meter and to main board, you can pick up one of these on ebay for a few quid, or second opition just completely disconnect the meter alarm should clear, the meter shouldnt effect the general play of the machine if its just for home use.

An lcd meter is only a few quid off ebay and this is the most likely solution and is much cheaper than an engineer,

I had a global machine(epoch tech) which started doing this. I replaced the LCD meter to no avail. I then replaced the main board and it was still doing it! Ended up scrapping the machine for spares.
U probably don`t want to hear that!
