What is what to do when descale light comes on keurig?
Here's what to do when the descale light comes on your Keurig, formatted in Markdown:
The descale light on your Keurig indicates that mineral buildup has accumulated inside the machine, potentially affecting its performance and the taste of your coffee. Addressing this promptly is crucial for the longevity of your brewer.
Here's a breakdown of the descaling process:
- Prepare the Descaling Solution: You can use the official Keurig Descaling Solution or a mixture of white vinegar and water (equal parts).
- Empty the Water Reservoir: Remove and empty the water reservoir.
- Add Descaling Solution: Pour the descaling solution into the empty reservoir. If using vinegar and water, fill the reservoir completely.
- Start the Descaling Process: Follow the specific instructions for your Keurig model. Generally, this involves entering a "descale mode" by pressing and holding certain buttons (refer to your user manual). The machine will then begin to run the solution through its system.
- Rinse the Reservoir: After the initial descaling cycle, empty and thoroughly rinse the water reservoir.
- Rinse with Fresh Water: Fill the reservoir with fresh water and run several brewing cycles (without a K-Cup) to flush out any remaining descaling solution. Repeat this process until the descale light turns off.
- If the Light Persists: If the descale light remains on even after multiple rinsing cycles, repeat steps 5 and 6. Some models require multiple descaling cycles. Consult your Keurig's user manual for specific troubleshooting.
- Turn off the Keurig: Turn off the Keurig for several minutes.
