Use straight cleaning vinegar 6%. If you're still not dispensing water try switching to the single server side, let it complete the cycle, then refill the reservoir, then switch to cups and run a cycle. Doing this I would get a red light on the cups button after a min. Then I switched back to the OZ side and kept repeating this. Also try using a injection syringe without the needle and put in at the water valve in the reservoir and pull the syringe in and out while it's cycling. This will help remove deposits on check valves and help the pump. After you get it to brew a full pot, full the tank with vinegar and run an 8 cup cycle until it starts to heat the water (that bubbling sound) then unplug it. All vinegar will stay in the cycle. Let it sit for 30 min and brew pots until no more vinegar smell or taste. Then from now on do the brew vinegar and pull the plug method once a month. Congrats you have hard water. Lol

@@JustADad Thanks! I think the longer the vinegar sits in the machine the better. The mineral deposits will dissolve and pass through the pumps more easily. My lesson learned is that if it takes longer than described in the instructions then maybe it needs to be cleaned more, like is also mentioned in the instructions. I had never cleaned mine until now, and it's been around 8 months. I have low spectrum hard water per my measurements, so I'm going to clean my Keurig at least once a month if not weekly. If I clean it weekly I'll just run a diluted vinegar water mix. I'm gonna experiment on some mineral deposited parts I have lying around to determine what the ratio of dilution should be. Also, unrelated to the function of the machine, I applied a paraffin wax (white candle) to all the plastic parts that do not come in contact with the beverages. Only exterior parts. Buffed it in with a microfiber towel. Looks like a mistake at first, but keep buffing, it'll blend in. Looks brand new and repels liquids. Now all I need to do is learn how to refinish the hot plate coating. We have a scratch in the coating.

We're a family of 5 adults and 2 children. We got this as gift 2years ago and the descale light never came on. We started noticing the water/coffee amounts were short by 1/2cup (or more). Thanks for the video, I'll be trying this soon!

Ok, so this is my follow up comment from about 3 hours earlier. This WORKED! My machine now brews a full pot of coffee! My husband and I were jumping up and down! LOL!! I had to do this procedure about 3 times. So in other words, filled up the tank 3 times, half and half water and vinegar! I rotated brews between a single cup and the full pot. The single cup was never really an issue, but the pot would only brew like 1 to 2 cups at most and then stop. Each time I ran a pot of the vinegar mixture it brewed a little more. The 'letting it sit for 30 minutes' was key!! This is when it descaled! How brilliant! I did exactly what this video said, just 3 times over. My Keurig K Duo Essential is now like perfect. Also, just an fyi... I did go out and buy the Keurig K Duo, but not the 'essentials' to replace this one when I thought it was broken. And that one wouldn't brew what I selected. I think the calibration was off or something. If we chose 8, it would brew 5. If we chose 12, it would barely make 10. This is with brewing a Pot - again, on this one - the single cup was working fine. So, we traded it in for another just like it, thinking we just got a lemon, and it did the same dang thing! Sooo- we are returning it tomorrow, and now we don't have to worry about buying another one. Ours is like new now, thanks to this video! I'm so happy!

Good to know I have been doing this correctly. Personally, the machine I have has never worked correctly on the pot side, straight out of the box. Descale light comes on after 1 use and rarely does a full pot of coffee in one try. Pretty much an overpriced single cup machine. Thank you for the video.

Hi, can denture cleaner tabs be utilized to descale/clean the machine? Purchased Jan 2023. I only brew a full carafe about 1-2x/week (summer), but do utilize the kcup side daily (fall/winter (coffee temp/flavor preferences). I have SUPER hard water, so I’ve been using the denture cleaner tabs(2)about 1-2x/month (summer) and about 1x/week (fall/winter). I try to avoid vinegar (smell/taste), heard the tabs were an alternative. Am I overkilling it? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have never descaled ours - had it for 2 years! It does not have a descale light. So now, when we brew a pot, it brews a little then stops. The single cup is still working. I'm so excited to try this. If it works - I will let you know! Either way, it was a very helpful video, thanks for taking the time to do it!

We never used the carafe side (I think ever?) And today we finally used it (8 cups selected) only for it to not even brew halfway before shutting off completely (didn't even kick in the hot plate) Went to try the kcup side - fearing the worst - and sure enough as soon as I clicked the kcup button it all lit up with that solid blue light for descaling Now I'm running as this video instructs and I got through the 8oz part, but now the carafe side is pumping out nothing at all (but it's clearly trying) Any ideas?

This coffee maker has a history of this kind of thing, not sure what is really going on, could be a blocked line with hard water deposit in it. or the valve that directs the water to the carafe or k cup could be stuck. They sell a bunch of these coffee makers, but I get alot of complaints about this model. not sure if its just because they sell so many or if it has a real bad problem. I am working on doing some more video's on this model. possible blow air through the lines, and possible run the hot vinegar through it a couple times and not use cold water. these are last resorts and might break the machine for good.

The last couple times I’ve run descale cycles, it won’t brew a whole pot at once. After trying several times, I decided to let it rest. Is it possible that it’s just so full of deposit that I will have to do it several times letting it rest between each until the tank empties? It only trickles a little bit before stopping

World after only 40 days of using this machine, I got frustrated, I have watched a lot of videos and nothing I solved. If you clean your machine as indicated, try the method to eliminate flaking. After Elena, just clean the needle that pierces the capsule and that's it, gentlemen. With love I hope it works for you. Do not manipulate the machine as this could damage it even more. Thank you Blessings! 🙏✌️🫶
