How to Descale Keurig with Descaling Solution

[@user-fn8vw3tf9v]

On the K Slim u need to put it into the descale mode not just run it like normal with the solution! To get in descale mode u need 2 power it off & hold the 8 Oz & 12 Oz buttons at the same time til the descale light is on steady! Not flashing! Then push the K button & carry on

[@tjwillis47]

Is this before you run the rinsing cycles to run the descaling solution and water?

[@rafaelbarbosa9833]

Fuck I just wasted a descale solution

[@chuloloco_]

⁠language! 😨

[@tmoore0131]

Thanks!

[@user-cp6lw5ie7l]

Hey... you don't mention putting the machine into descale mode by turning it off and pressing 8 and 12 oz buttons at the same time. I wasted a whole bottle of descaler liquid. I watched another person's post and they did it right. I'm disappointed

[@Tylerrl1664]

I wasted my descaling solution because you forgot to mention to activate descaling mode by holding the 8 and 12 ounces buttons for three seconds before starting the process

[@FYMM69]

Best answer yet !!!! The way she explains it the descale light still flashing.
Power the machine off, hold down both 8 and 12oz buttons down like you said until descale butting remains Solid then press K button!!

[@carolinesoles4848]

Hey Coral, don’t forget to let your folks know that on some models, if not all, that they should press and hold the two top buttons for 3 seconds, to let the system know that you are about to descale it. I did a whole descaling process, and the descale light stayed on!! I googled “my descale light is still on, now what” and came up with “angryespresso” (where he linked me to your video) and he said that the Keurig doesn’t know that the solution is anything but water, so by doing the press and hold, it tells the system to “pay attention“. Now my machine is descaled AND the light is off!! Yippee

Although I was happy to receive the Slim K Keurig as a gift, I still own an old $9.95 12 cup Sunbeam that NEVER needs OR have ever done a descaling on it. Thanks for the great video.

[@bntravelin2]

just use white vinegar

[@vinceortega5294]

Short but sweet and very detailed. Thank you!

[@jtzutube]

$1.48 gets you a gallon of white distilled vinegar that's gentler and can be used in a hyperbolic buhzillion ways.

[@JP.RuizR.]

in some models, press the 6 & 10 buttons at the same time to activate descaling mode, then click the 8 oz button to start descaling.

[@KnightessAndHerNobleSteed]

Thank you. I used water and vinegar for a cleaner.

[@kenmiller4579]

Tried this method and others but "Descale" light still flashing. I think I'm at the black electrical tape step. 😂

[@BrandonGillespie723]

Short and sweet, thanks!

[@dualityofman1253]

Best Keurig cleaning tutorial on RUclips!

[@Haileysmommie]

Glad I remembered this was wrong and to unplug/plug in and then hold down the 8/12 so my descale and K button eill flash 😂

[@pattysandiego]

Very helpful and simple for idiots like me LMAO!!

[@daniellemoore1150]

very good , thanks for saving my life on these tips since the instructions on the bottle are not helpful 😊

[@sacagawea9743]

There’s a descaling mode, if you don’t use that mode to do it then the descale light won’t go off

[@musikluver]

Will it still be rescaled, just not registered by the machine as such?

[@7ravi8]

Watching this video was better than straining to read the tiny instructions on the bottle.

[@timyoung4039]

The entire bottle?!?! I got a little kit that had a pouch with maybe 3 oz of cleaner in it.

[@vandytheman09]

Thank you very much for this video!!!

[@mytube650]

Thanks for this.

[@mikedavis2063]

Thank you

[@cuznbedrock]

Thank you both.

[@MarissaMezari]

I followed your suggestions and my Kurig stopped working during the descaling process. Any suggestions??

[@DamageLLC]

Not correct from what I researched. With the power off, you hold the 8 and 12 oz button together, and the “descale” light comes on to start descaling process. Also, you have to read the descaling solution. Mine says use 1/2 bottle, not the whole bottle. This video is not the proper way according to online manuals and videos from the manufacturer.

[@ihatemickiegee]

This video is precisely the instructions on the Keurig brand descaling bottle. even same wording just simpler put. You are correct about the descaling mode, however, in order to get the descale light to turn off at end of process. Other than that, my instructions show exactly what she said. It you have a different model than her, or different than the one shown on the box you bought, you will be correct about one of those instructions being wrong!

[@DamageLLC]

@@ihatemickiegee All Keurigs have the same process, but ok.

[@69flipflip]

This is not the way to descale a Keurig. There is a descaling mode. Don't do this with your machine.

[@dianapardo6872]

Do I remove the filter?

[@ihatemickiegee]

yes, although i’m sure by now you know that then others with same question will see my answer lmao

[@jakelaughlin4663]

Dosnt work anymore for me

[@mark8172]

Incorrect.

[@bigrichc8265]

All that for a coffee maker that makes 1 cup at a time. My Coffe maker from dollar general makes 10 -12 cups and I just wash it out its easy

[@KevinHaydey]

Not everyone one needs 10-12 cups of coffee I just have one a day

[@moxxy3565]

Yeah... The 1 cup at a time is the convenient part. I don't need 12 cups of coffee for myself lol.

[@jorgeg5683]

Of course you got a coffee maker from dollar general 😂

[@mikeo100]

Yeah this isn’t it

[@jpcerda5079]

I followed these steps and overheated my Keurig machine. I don’t recommend.

[@luisas5405]

Who ever spends money on this is a sucker u can just add something natural like vinegar and water

[@newyorkallegations3411]

Booooooooooo
