Is my machine broken?

I have the vertuo plus. It requires that I unplug it and plug it back in to work. So I have to do the whole set up, place my pod, close it, and the button just blinks, doesn’t allow me to press to brew. So I have to unplug it, fetch my pod out the bin which is SOOO annoying, then close it and finally it will allow me to brew. I feel like it’s on its last leg of not allowing me to brew at all. I just bought this machine 3 days ago. Is there a reason it’s doing this or is it broken?
