How To Turn Off Descale Light On Keurig
Here are our easy step-by-step directions for how to put your Keurig in Descale Mode and finally get that light to turn off. Keurig models that come with this Descale Mode include the K-Supreme series and the K-Slim series, among others.
Equipment
- 1 Coffee mug
- 1 Keurig Coffee Maker That has the descale light on that won't go off.
Ingredients & Supplies
- 1 unlimited Cold Water
- 1 Bottle Keurig Descaling Solution (optional)
Instructions
- Turn your Keurig off, and pull its plug.
- Take out the water filter and any coffee pods left inside.
- Put your coffee mug on the tray where it usually goes. It will catch the water or used descaling mixture.
- Plug your machine back in, but don’t turn it on quite yet.
- Activate the Descale Mode by holding down your machine’s 8-ounce and 12-ounce buttons at the same time for three seconds. The machine will power up, and the brew button should start flashing. If your descale light was flashing, it should turn solid.
- Now your machine is in Descale Mode, and it expects to be descaled. If you haven’t descaled in a few months, use your bottle of descaling solution, and refer to our guide on how to descale a Keurig to complete the process.
- If you’ve descaled it recently, you’ll still need to brew through two full reservoirs of water before the light turns off. Fill your reservoir with water, and press the flashing brew button.
- Wait till the coffee mug is full of water, and then empty it. Put the mug back, and press the brew button again.
- Keep running brews until the light blinks on, telling you to add water. Fill the reservoir again, and repeat the above step until the ‘ADD WATER’ light comes on for a second time.
- Once you’ve finished cycling through two full reservoirs, your Keurig should exit Descale Mode, and the light should finally turn off.
