To turn off the descale light on a Keurig machine, the primary solution is to properly descale the machine using a Keurig-compatible descaling solution. After finishing the descaling process, the descale light should turn off automatically. If the descale light does not turn off after descaling, one common reset method is to press and hold the 8 oz and 10 oz buttons on the machine simultaneously for about 3 seconds. This should reset the descale alert and turn off the light. Additional steps that may help include:
- Making sure the machine is powered off before pressing the buttons for reset.
- Unplugging the machine for a few minutes and plugging it back in.
- Running multiple rinse cycles with fresh water to fully clear residual descaling solution.
If the descale light still persists, it may be due to incomplete descaling, requiring additional cleaning cycles. In summary:
- Descale the machine completely.
- Press and hold the 8 oz and 10 oz buttons together for 3 seconds with the machine powered on to reset the descale light.
- Unplug and plug back in if needed.
- Run rinse cycles until the light goes off.
This procedure applies to many Keurig models including K-Slim and Duo, but check the exact button combination for the model if different. This is based on the most common and recent instructions from multiple sources including Keurig user guides and community troubleshooting.
