Thanks for Watching and your kind and Brilliant words!!! I love what you said, It kind of sums up my channel!!! I really enjoy showing everyone how to do things. It all started back when I was a kid and VCR first came out. I was the kid who set the time and Record time on everyone's VCR at home and School. I might use your words, I just love how simple and to the point they are. Where you an English Teacher?
Do you have a video for getting the Descale button to stop flashing on the Elite Keurig? I checked and was unable to find one you have done for the Elite.
Pro tip. Save the discard solution to descale your dishwasher. Just add it to the dishwasher 5 minutes into the cycle since most dishwashers start by pumping out any fluid that's collected in the drain's 'basin' in the bottom of the dishwasher. Great post .
I sure appreciate your "to the point" video. I may have more than just a cleaning to deal with but at least I know I'd been doing it the right way. Again - thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Congratulations your comment made my #1 comment of the day!!! I get about 50 or so comments aday and I just had to call my wife over and read your comment, We both got a good laugh in a fun way. Thanks for Sharing your story it put a big smile on our faces. by the way are your a chemist for Rocket Engines. Thanks so much!!!!!
I have same Keurig relite lime away whit h said use half bottle use 5 cups of water let it go thru rinse w 5 cups of water it doesn't says let it sit 30 minutes I let it cool down then washed it that's it and my desalted button didn't light 🕯️ up maybe because it didn't need to desalted I think 💬 it needed desalted didn't use it much I don't remember years ago I had different of Keurig 2.0 it didn't say let sit 30 minutes or 2 hours I never heard of that so does that mean my Keurig didn't desalted right cause my didn't sit 30 minutes?
Hmmmm, my add water light didn’t pop up when I was reaching the last of the vinegar run through. It’s still making like piggy grunts and noises the keurig usually makes during a brew. I ran the vinegar thru using rhe 10oz setting until vinegar filled 2 1/2 cups then the sound of hissing when you run out water starter. Am I still good to go and wait the 3 hours to complete? Or is the lack of the add water button compromising my Descaling attempt? Thanks in advance!
I've cleaned my Elite once before. Since then the Elite hasn't made any noticeable changes. The clogging is so bad the 12oz button only fills 6oz! Frustrated today I decided to put my foot down and clean it again, properly this time. I've rinsed my Elite with White Vinegar so far. My only mistake is I got to excited and rinsed the Vinegar until the "Add Water" light came on. Now I'm going to wait 3 hours and rinse 1.5 Reservoirs of water and see what it does! (Fingers Crossed!)
Happy to help! Even a clogged needle can seem like your machine is done forever. Just a simple cleaning of the needles will make the pump work again. ua-cam.com/video/MDgwqhi2egA/v-deo.html
That is a good Question. I am not sure how the Keurig Machine tells when it needs water. the old machines had a float in the tank that activated a switch. sorry I could not be more help, I need to open one of these up and see how they calculate there water tank is empty. Thanks for watching and maybe someone who watches this might have the answer.
I had the same thing happen to me and replied earlier not knowing why. Well, I know the answer! When replacing the water holder back into its slot make sure you insert it correctly and it's in all the way down - flushed. Presto! It's now working!!! Add water light now comes on.

I just had this happen also. I turned the machine off and on and hit hot water only. It let me rinse with the biggest cup and then I was able to descale.
I tried this because my machine keeps shutting off. It won't run anything through it. My descale light never came on. I have had it for a year. I was hoping that disabling the auto shut off would do the trick.
Hi I have a Keurig K-Elite. I have followed the setting section to get the moon off. NOTE: (1) Descale light stays on (2) Moon reappears with time (3) My Keurig doesn’t work properly according to the descaling steps shown on video. HELP!!!
Great tutorial. How come we never see the de-scale button come on (the one to the right of the add water light)? What’s the purpose of the descale light?
Good question! Older Keurig's have some sort of sensor inside that if you coffee maker builds up with hard water deposits it will light the light. newer ones the light come on after 250 brews no mater how dirty it is on the inside. this is considered an older coffee maker, but a very good one and reliable.
@@JustADadWe have had our Elite since November of 2020. I would guess the wife and I have made at least 1500 cups of coffee. We have pretty hard water where we live (Kentucky) and not once has our "Descale" light illuminated. I am currently using your method to descale since recently our Elite would struggle to pump water and sometimes turn itself off. Fingers crossed this helps with that issue. I appreciate your detailed presentation of this procedure. BTW, my favorite brew is Double Donut Coffee Espresso Roast from Amazon. Cheers!
Thanks for Watching, There is not a lot you can take apart on a keurig. The bottom part the K cup slide into with the bottom needle can come out but that is about it. the water tank comes off and you can clean that really good but getting to the inside is really hard and they don't want you opening them up. Hope this helps!!
@@JustADad yeah I see a silver tab you can push down but it doesn’t release anything. Aside from really taking it apart, it may be the only way because I see a bunch of sleaze in there I can’t get to 😕
This Keurig stopped pumping yesterday.. descale light never went on. Will descaling help the problem? I admit it's probably 2 years old, never descaled because I use filtered water plus the inside charcoal filter
Sounds like your Needles might be clogged. I have a video on how to remove the needles and clean them with a paperclip. ua-cam.com/video/MDgwqhi2egA/v-deo.html Let me know how it goes.
Mine has the descale light on, and when I press on the buttons for brew it just doesnt brew anything. I did lift the lid and the cup lights were blinking. Dont know why it wont run.
First unplug it and let it sit for about 10 min. then clean the needles check out my video on how to do it. ua-cam.com/video/MDgwqhi2egA/v-deo.html plug it back in and do a bunch of fresh water rinses with no k cup to get it working again. once it is working again you should be able to descale it using this video. Let me know how it goes.
After having a single Kcup maker for years we craved a pot being made on the weekends. Researched a bunch of models and choose this one. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxL8yFdHfPF4ObeIwJ5JdM3i_9XLnbjUC2 We love it! We wanted a water reservoir for the single cup so we didn’t have to pour water in every cup but the other models it fed the water to the coffee pot to so by the time we made one pot we’d have no water left. This model has the traditional pour in feature for the pot and the reservoir for the cup which works great for us. Love how there is a bunch of holes pouring the water over the coffee, makes it taste much better. Only drawback I have is the way the lid is angled on the pot section it’s hard to get the last bit of water out of the pot into the machine without it spilling somewhere else.
Already had vinegar on hand and saved $20 doing this way, thanks!

This was very informative. Did not know about the Settings button. That is why I was unable to descale the Keurig.
Glad it helped!! Good job sticking with it and figuring it out!
Thanks for the video! I like to use the spent vinegar on weeds in mulch and also on areas of driveway where the pop up.
Good tips. I will have to try that out. Thanks for watching!

@@fl676 Try unplugging it for a couple hours or overnight
@@JustADad thanks
I'm retired now, so I'm a cheapie these days, thanks for the tip. Vinegar is much cheaper than the Keurig solution.
Thank you for this video! Keurig advises to get instructions from their website, which only led to a "page not found" message
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
Well built machine! Makes coffee faster than the average coffee maker (which is becoming outdated soon, within like 5 years)
Yes it is a nice coffee maker. Thanks for Sharing
What is your favorite K cup?
@@JustADad I’m not sure, I’m more into tea but I use this machine to heat my water for the tea. Others in my family actually use it for coffee.
You made it so easy to understand enjoyed all your videos. Thank you. I just order my new one can't wait.

So I have this coffee maker cleaner by whink have you ever used that or heard of it ?
Nicer heard of it but I did look it up and it looks very interesting. I Think it would work ok
My kurig wont run a cycle. Just says descale and shuts off. Any suggestions?
maybe a clogged upper needle
Did not have water reservoir on right did i burn up motor ? Will not turn on
Thank you! ✨🙏🏼✨
You're so welcome!
Could I leave vinegar in for an entire night instead of the three hours you suggest? Would that clean it better?.
that should be fine and yes it would clean better, I would not leave it in longer than say 8 hours.
Your descale light never came on
Should I wait for my descale light to come on before I do this or no?
no, if it has been more than 4 months then i would go ahead and do it
@JustADad okay I got plenty of time, then that's what I was wondering. Thank you so much
If it never starts coming out, I’m assuming it’s really really broken?
clean the needles ua-cam.com/video/MDgwqhi2egA/v-deo.html

did you unplug it for about 10 min then plug it back in.
thx dude

ehat happen when the light water doesnt iluminates
Mine has a descale light but it never came on
That will come on when it's time to descale. We are wondering about the add water light as to why it didn't. Any idea?
The machine will sense when it is time to descale the unit. but it is a good Idea to stay on top of if before it gets too bad.
I need to look into the add water function. I have seen this on my machine before and then it starts working again. Sorry I will look into this.

sometimes that happens I am not sure why.
So does the "Add Water" light keep blinking for 3 hours??
No it should go out. Sometimes mines does this too, not sure why. It usally goes away after I lift the water tank up and put it back on the machine.
When you Need to descail ?
