You don't need to buy descaling tabs.....you can simply use white vinegar (full the reservoir) and then being the cleaning cycle. I typically leave the vinegar in for a couple a hours to dissolve any minerals that made have collected into the unit. Make sure you flush the machine several times with fresh, clean water afterwards because no one likes sour coffee.

As for it not heating, it's possible the element burnt out. That means you are left with a glorified room temperature water pourer.

There was a recall a few years ago - did you try calling the company?

Had to look at the third Instruction pdf (first two are pictographs mostly) to see that the red light is a descaling matter -item 7e in the manual.

DescalingYour TASSIMO machine has an automaticdescaling program. If Q Descale icon lightsup while the appliance is on, the descalingprogram must be run immediately. If thedescaling process is not run as instructed,the appliance may not function properly.

Umm the manual states under Descaling to never use vinegar or vinegar based products:
