- How to get your Descale light to go out. How to turn off Descale Light Walmart Keurig K-Express Essentials . I show you how to clean/descale your Walmart Keurig K-Express Essentials Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker. I show you the descaling procedure right out of the quick start guide from Keurig. How to turn off your descale light. This Keurig has a descaling mode you have to put the machine in and complete it step by step in order for the descale light to go out. I show you how much distilled white vinegar to use and how much water. What the ratio is 1 to 1. I show you how to do the water rinse to complete the descale mode. How to get descale notification to go off. Your coffee maker will turn on the descale light after 250 brews. I show you how to activate the descale mode by pressing the 6oz button and the 10oz button with the power button off. How to fix when the add water light will not go out during descale. The descale mode has a glitch or fault. When you are done running the descale agent throughout the coffee maker you then refill the water reservoir with fresh water then the add water light should go out. It goes out and then comes right back on. I show you how to fix this by removing about 1/2 the water out of the reservoir and reinstall the water reservoir and the light should go out. Then fill up the reservoir with water to finish the descale procedure.

NEVER delete this video. It's 6 months later (see I posted 6 mo ago?) and I keep coming to the video for my descaling. Just play it and follow along.
I just want to say, I came back 8 months later searched for your video ... HELPS me every time!!
At times, I get overwhelmed trying to follow instructions and end up being confused/frustrated. Your instructions were precise and easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time to make this video! 💜
Your so welcome!!! thanks for watching!!!!
Anytime I have to descale my keurig I always look for this video…straightforward to the point an easy to follow.
Thank you so much! You were great at explaining and walking through directions!
I've used this video twice and appreciate your clear instructions. Thank you for keeping it simple.
I totally agree! I just descaled mine for the first time since i purchased in 2022 and I watched this as I descaled! Literally explained just like my dad would thanks!
Just a dad, you are the best! So happy there is someone who does the job for people like me who don't read the instructions.
This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.
After following the instructions on the Descale solution bottle exactly, including waiting 30 minutes and at least 12 rinses, my descale light came back on and would not go off. After several Google searches, I came across your video and followed all instructions using vinegar as I was out of the solution. and was able to get the light off. Interestingly enough, my bottle has no mention of placing it in descale mode or anything related. The first time I knew about this mode was in your video. I descaled because the light had come on. Thank you so much for your easy and informative video
Thank you Dad, I still put my laptop on the kitchen counter and watch your video every single time when I'm descaling my Keurig machine, great job with the video, easy to follow along. Cheers to you.
That is awesome!
76 year old in North Carolina. If I could hug your neck, I would!! I had gone through the procedure (I am a retired Chemist....it's hard to deviate from a procedure :) several times. Until I went completely through your video, it finally worked when I DID NOT fill the rinse reservoir before putting it back on the K-Express. I would have never thought of doing that. Thank you so much for sharing this. I LOVE my coffee maker but was ready to throw it out the door!
Oh wow! Good job!! so proud of you!!!!
I live in Kentucky and used this video to talk my 84 year old grandmother who lives in NE Ohio through descaling her Keurig. I love that this is the EXACT model she has and I was able to be on the phone with her and effortlessly talk her through the process! Thank you so much Just a Dad!!!!
Thanks a bunch 👍🏿
Where in NE Ohio? I live here too. Madison Ohio to be exact.
Excellent step by step instructions. Impossible to have a better way to explain and show anywhere else.
Wow!! thanks so much for your kind words!!!
This is by far the best and most in depth video showing the de-scaling procedure for this type of Keurig machine. It’s my go to and I have it saved in my TH-cam videos for whenever my machine needs another de-scale. Thank you. In the video you say you’re amazed that you have 3k followers, well look how many you have 3 years later. 145k. That’s awesome and a true testament to the quality of your instructional videos and reviews. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Dad! This is the second time I’ve pulled up your video to descale my Keurig. I’m now ready to enjoy a nice drink after all my “hard” work. Cheers!
Woo Hoo! Followed your instructions and it worked perfectly! When the ADD WATER wouldn't go out, even after following your instructions, I went ahead and pushed the 8 oz. button and it worked fine. The descale light went out and it works perfectly! I did this on another Keurig Essential I had, but it wouldn't work AT ALL after I descaled! Pretty sure I messed up the descale instructions, but I ended up getting another Keurig from the manufacturer. I was hesitant to try again on my new one, but your video was extremely helpful and it worked like a charm!! THANK YOU!
Thanks for putting this up. I lost the cleaning directions so this was a big help. Clear and concise. Thumbs up 👍
I watch this video every time I need to descale.
thank you for all that you do, I was able to rescue two Keurig's and this is the way I descale. Thank you so much...from Oh Canada...
You are so welcome!
Thanks. Tried it once and it didn't shut off the descale. Then, after following your video, it worked! Thanks, "Dad"!
Excellent!
I'm a newbie with a K- cup coffee maker and this demo is with the one that I have. Thank you for your step by step instructions. Your a coffee saver :)
You are so welcome!
I’ve watched this video numerous times. In fact, every time my Descale light comes on I think “Let me view Just A Dad’s video again” Your info is thorough, concise and easy to follow. Not just for this video but for all that you do. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Just A Dad. Watching your video twice, finally saw my error in the entire descale process. Thanks again. I was about to loose my mind.
Very informative video for descaling this particular model of Keurig. Thanks!
You are welcome! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice review. Thanks for your kind words!!!
TY!! I spent 2 hours trying to get this light out.. I lost the manual! You are THE BEST!
Thanks for watching and your kind words!!! That was so nice of you to take the time and leave such a nice comment.
What is your favorite K cup?
I use the refillable pods and Moe's Coffee Co. Black cherry dark roast. Omg .it's so good! And.. Bones maple bacon..to die for lol
Lifesaver! I was ready to toss my 3rd Keurig as my husband said no more $ on them (suggested I switch to his tried and true old school coffee pot he’s had for 7 years) which I was Not ready to do. I first watched your video on taking it apart and poking the heating thingy with a paper clip (yes, I don’t do tools or the likes) which then got it to start turning on. Then I tried the descaling your way video instead of the awful way the directions said which made mine foam and go nuts. And will you just look at my husbands face when I proudly presented my working keurig with his tools thrown around the table (I didn’t know which to use so I grabbed a lot of them). He still can’t believe I MacGuyver’d it myself!!! Thank you Thank you!! You made me a hero and very confident in myself!!
Good job!! very proud of you!!!!
Still watching 2 years later! Keep doing God's work man 😅
This does really help me I lost my manual and I work better with visuals anyway. I’m very new to coffee makers this is actually the first one I ever had I never really used to drink coffee until I start drinking Starbucks and with the Keurig I can get my mocha lattes.
You are so welcome! this is a perfect machine for first time users. Before long you will be an expert and moving up to a bigger more complicated machine. Let me know if you have any questions. My coffee journey was like yours, it started about 4 years ago and I was very intimidated how to fix coffee. That is why I made my channel to help others with there coffee journey, thanks for sharing!!!!
You made it so simple and easy!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I have been trying to clean this exact type Keurig coffee machine since last Friday, today is Thursday!,, You are PERFECT in your instructions and troubleshooting were both on point! Thank you for sharing your expertise on this!🙂
This video is super helpful. I always use it when I’m descaling the keurig and he describes the step by step so well and trouble shoots possible problems that it’s worked for me 100%.
Sir you were such a big help I tried everything I could think of and could not get descale light off then I watched your video with the vinegar and I did just what you said and I got the light off very very helpful thank you so much for your help
You are most welcome
THANK YOU YOU JUST SAVED MY 3 MONTH OLD MACHINE FROM THE sledgehammer I WAS GOING TO BEAT IT TO DEATH THAN BUY ANOTHER COFFEE MAKER FROM A DIFFERENT COMPANY.
Good job getting it done!
Great video. I don't really use my Keurig, but the folks in my household that do--never informed me the Descale light was on until the unit was non-functional. Following your procedure fixed it perfectly. Thanks!
Thanks for your help. First time descaling a machine. Your instructions on all of the videos are very clear and east to do. Thanks again .👍
Excellent and easy to follow step by step instructions ( my machine did not have a manual enclosed- so I REALLY appreciate this!). Appreciate the " glitch" explanation, in case that happens. Just ran the whole descale process with no glitches. Noticeable difference in coffee taste. I love that your instructions are very focused and direct. It always dismays me when an instructor uses this platform as a try out for a dramatic role on TV- thank you for not going that direction! Just a Dad is always my 1st " go to" when I need help for any household appliance. Plz keep the videos coming!
Wow! I really appreciate your kind words and I am happy I am your "go to" for videos!
@@JustADad I bought a new machine like this one that you are showing everybody how to descale and cannot get it to even come on can you help me with this
Could not figure out how to descale my Keurig so the descale light would actually go off until I ran across your video. Thanks so much!!
Great to hear!
I bought this and is the first time to descale! And again I came to you to see how to descale ! Thank you so much. No glitches worked perfect.
Out of all the videos I googled I finally came across yours and it was the best one by far fixed my Keurig thanks man
Thanks for watching and your kind words!!! That was so nice of you to take the time and leave such a nice comment. Your kind words really do mean so much!!! I am so glad it helped and this is the reason I do my Videos To Help Others!!!!
What is your favorite K cup?
I pull this video up every time I clean my Keurig. So helpful and it’s awesome that you take your time explaining everything and showing step by step without rushing. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Not me right now, not at all 🙃
Me too lol. Everytime my descale light comes on I pull up this video. I have it saved 😍.
I agree! Literally only use this video!! Thanks"Dad"!!!
I do too!
Mine worked perfectly. No glitch. I received my machine for Father Day 2022. It is july 29 and the descale light came on. Followed your directions perfectly and the process was flawless. Thanks for the instructional video. It made things simple. If I do get a glitch next time I will know what to do.
Thanks for sharing
I’ve come here so many times since getting this coffee maker and now use vinegar thank you so much for making it simple and easy to do!!😊
Whenever I need help with my keurig, i always know who to turn to! Thank you so much, you're the best!
Thank you for showing us how to do this! The descale light came on this morning and I really didn’t want to have to go out and buy the solution. I never even thought of using vinegar, so this is awesome! I tried it out and it worked perfectly, thanks again!
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!!! Good job researching and figuring out how to do it!!! Good job! I am very Proud of you!! way to go!
I use vinegar for almost everything but how to do this efficiently was my problem. I was going cup by cup. LOL 😂
Just a Dad giving us Keurig user's an easy step by step cleaning process. My Keurig came with instructions but for some crazy reason it was like trying to read gibberish!! Keeping it simple! Thank you 😉
Glad it helped!!! thanks!
Fantastic video! After 3 attempts on my own I was finally able to clear my descale button after watching your video! Thank you!
Thanks so much for Clear, Step by Step instructions. So very helpful. I refer to your video every time I have to descale my Keurig.
Thank you so much for this! My dads wife tried to descale ours 4 times she said and the light stayed on, I woke up this morning and found your video, super easy instructions and a few extra tips! No more descale light for us!!! Thank you! 😊❤️
Glad it helped!
Very helpful! My descale light went out after the vinegar/water bath so I had to power on to do the rinse cycle. I agree with rinsing twice. Thank you Dad!
Awesome!!! Thanks for Watching!! and your kind Words!!!
What is your favorite K Cup?
Same for me.
@@JustADad , right now it is the Fred Meyer Kona. A decent cup of coffee with a splash of half and half. Nothing Starbucks for me.
@@tinatippin5705 I need to try that. Thanks for Sharing. I just like a good cup of Dunkin donuts
Thank you so much you have really helped me, my mom goes to work really early in the morning and this morning I wasn't able to brew her coffee because it said rescale and I no longer have the booklet that comed with the Keurig so thank you truly you are a life saver!
Thanks Dad! We are traveling in an RV and just performed your descale instructions to a tee!! It worked great and appreciated your detailed video - now my Keurig is very clean and ready to brew :)
Hello man! Excellent video! I have the same model with Descale light always on, not flashing, i'm gonna try this tomorrow, thanks for the way you explained, i understand everything, greetings from Monterrey México!!!
Edit: Genius! It works! I just had problems with "Add Water" bug, i have to do it like 4 times!
Thanks
Worked perfectly on the first try using your video thank you so much A++
You're welcome!
Love your step-by-step video. So much better then instructions that come with the machine. Now I've cleaned the k-express with the descaler and now the vinegar. Thank you very much! 😀😀
You're welcome!
I found your vídeo the first time I descaled this exact machine. Now anytime I need to do it, you best believe I’m opening up your video and following along straight through!
Thank you for your well scripted and nicely demonstrated instructions on how to descale my Keurig K Express Essentials K cup Coffee Maker. Suddenly today the water (coffee) from my Keurig coffee maker was coming out stone cold - otherwise it was behaving normally. Needless to say this was really annoying when you really could use a coffee and you know that the machine is barely past 3 months old! A little bit of Googling and I discovered that the descaling process might resolve my machine's problem. After another bit of quick Googling asking how to descale this model, your video came up near the top of the results. After watching your video it was easy for me to repeat the process on my machine. I suddenly became very hopeful when the water came out hot during the very first 8oz descaling run. You could also see some small flakes of scale in the bottom of the cup. That was unexpected (although the flakes had completely dissolved in the vinegar solution by the time all of the first 8 ounces finished coming out). That made me think. Before starting the 3rd descaling run, I waited 15 minutes before hitting the button and starting the next. The thought being that now the vinegar solution was everywhere inside - the heating tank and in all the pipes - perhaps let it sit(soak) there a bit to work on (further help dissolve) any stubborn scales. I figured it couldn't hurt - it might only waste some of my time... Finally, after rinsing it twice like you suggested, that first cup of coffee was fantastic (and a big relief). Thanks again for your time and effort to develop and make this video. 🙂 ☕
Wow!! what a story, thanks for sharing!!! this will help others for sure!!! Glad it worked out and good job for sticking with it and getting it done!
Oh my gosh you are a life saver! This video was very user friendly and absolutely helped me fix the solution. I tried following the directions on the descale bottle and struggled to fully understand the process. This was so much easier and I will definitely be coming back to this video in the future
Wow thanks so much!
So glad you popped up. I couldn't find the directions. And you helped get the descale light off.
Excellent video. Pleased you made this vid for my model. Your step-by-step instruction worked like a charm. Glad you pointed out possible glitches. Luckily my descale light turned off after running three cups of fresh water through the machine. Much appreciated. 👍🏼
Thank you for the video! I threw away my manual and this helped immensely and worked w/o glitches for me. I have hard-ish water and brew 5cups a day. So, I suspect I’ll have to do this more frequently and the vinegar is more economical than the solution.
yeah with hard water and 5 cups a day you will have to do this about a lot more often. Thanks for watching and your kind words!!
what is your favorite k cup?
@@JustADad Since they haven't answered you, I'll tell you what mine is so far. Green Mountain Dark Magic is extremely tasty. Peet's Major Dickason is also very good.
@@mng519 Those are some really good coffee's!!!!
This helped me so much! Previously I had an older model Keurig that didn't have a descale mode and I lost the manual to this one. I have the red one, but it looks nice in black :)
Awesome, I am glad it helped. the Red one is so pretty. Did yours descale ok?
What is your favorite K cup?
@@JustADad I had to descale it about 2 times and then rinsed it 3 times with water because I wanted no chance of any white vinegar in my coffee :) I really like Donut Shop’s “Coconut Mocha” coffee but I also like the Dunkin’s dark coffee since I live in MA where there’s a Dunkin’s around every corner.
@@Birbeee Thanks for the update. the coconut mocha sounds really good!!
I can't tell you how happy I am to have found you and this video. Seems no one has this model. Such a help, especially the glitch fixes!! I'm going to try this now, thanks
You are so welcome!
Thank you, thank you! A kind friend bought me this Keurig machine at a estate sale. Like new, but...no instruction manual! You're better than any manual!
This is THE BEST descale video I have found. You did a fabulous job explaining everything. So clear and easy to follow. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Agreed!
Thank you for the great video. I got my new machine in May and the descale light came on this morning. I used the vinegar, I didn’t have the descale solution. It was easy to follow your video, you and I did it together as I went. My descale light did turn off part way through the process, but I continued to follow your lead. Thank you for the video, easy to understand and now I know how to fix the add water light, if it should ever come on. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and your kind words!!! That was so nice of you to take the time and leave such a nice comment. Your kind words really do mean so much!!! I am so glad it helped and this is the reason I do my Videos To Help Others!!!!
What is your favorite K cup?
My descale light went out halfway through the process too and I just finished it out and everything went fine. I agree, very helpful video. Thank you for posting and being so thorough!!
I’ve watched this video twice. Once a year ago and I ran without the glitch. This time. Glitched. That little trick works. Thank you sir.
Thank you very much. My light came on for the first time. Wasn't exactly sure on measurements & process. I always cleaned my regular coffee maker with vinegar, so I am glad this one does too.
Here I am descaling again lol ☕️
I found this out by holding down the wrong buttons😀 If you hold down the 10 and 8oz buttons while the machine is off it will run water through the machine as long as you hold them. The water isn’t heated but this might be useful to rinse out the machine a little quicker. Thanks for making this video too!
Wow good find!!! thanks for sharing!
Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about, thank you so very much!!
This was very helpful! Finally got my Keurig descaled! Thank you!
This video helped me with cleaning my Keurig cuz I have the SAME Keurig. I bought the cleaning kit Right afterwards buying this. Keep in mind my first Keurig was given to me by my auntie and uncle and I'm forever grateful for it because once it broke after 2 years or so, I bought this exact model. Thanks for this informative video!! Hopefully my Keurig will taste even better and last even longer! Love this informative video, don't stop!!!
Every time I need to descale my Keurig, this is my go to video. Works every time🙌🏾🙌🏾
Amazing, worked like a charm the 1st time! Thank you so much for your time in doing this!
You're welcome!
I came across your video, followed all your steps and it worked! We have the same keurig machine. Thank you so much for explaining everything!
Thank goodness I found your video. For something so simple why do they make things so complicated? Worked like a charm!
I followed through on your instructions on how to descale the Keurig coffee machine . Success! Thank you.
on my 5th keurig machine, you have helped prolong the life of the last 3. thanks for these videos!
Thank you so much!! I was panicking reading all of these instructions. You are a life saver thank you 🙏🏼
I wish there was a video like this for every appliance that I own. Great instructions! I followed and got success thanks to you! No manual needed!
Thank you very much. Your steps were so easy to follow. Finally I was able to descale my keurig coffee maker.
Awesome!! glad it helped!
Thank you so much. I kept trying to get the descale light to go off and it didn't work until I followed your instructions. You are the best!
We got our Keurig Express last year and see very time I need to clean it I come back to this video. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Mom and I just watched this and it worked fantastic! Awesome video! Thank you Tom!! 😀
Amazing! Thank you so much. My add water light wouldn’t go off I tried the trick but it kept flashing, but I was able to continue the process with it on after trying to turn it off a few times. This video was great and easy to follow.
I found your helpful video for my last Keurig, so when i bought this smaller one i didn't buy the descaler solution bcuz i Knew your videos were here. This was helpful and i got my machine descaled. Thank you 👍🏻😊
Best instructions on the internet for descaling this model! Thank you very much!!
Thank you for your help. I could not find my instructions and I think this was a lot simpler to follow than the manual. I had no glitches and it worked perfectly.
Awesome!!! good job getting it done!!!!
Just received as 2023 Holiday Gift - very helpful! Thks
Thank you so so much!! I have tried for a year to get that descale light off. It finally worked!! Thank you again
You are welcome!
@@JustADad ❤️
I use your video every time I descale just to make sure I don't miss a step. Awesome and very thorough video!!
This was such a helpful video. My keurig has needed a descale for MONTHS and it got to the point where it started tasting like dirty water coffee but last time I tried descaling, something messed up and I had to get it replaced. Luckily I had warranty but since I used it I can’t get this one replaced and have been avoiding descale like the plague. Followed this however and it worked! Now to try a cup😇 thank you so much!
Good job getting it done!!! very proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this video. My keurig booklet was thrown away before I could read it so I couldn't figure out how to do it. You're directions were super straight forward and easy to understand. It was nice that you went over the potential glitches too, because if you wouldn't of I would of run into them. Thanks again
My original Keurig was the Platinum 1.0 that I got from Costco years ago. It didn’t matter whether I used vinegar or the descaling solution, the Keurig simply would not pull the solution into the brewer. Then again, I used it for years with no trouble at all. Now I have the Keurig Supreme Plus SE from Costco. A huge improvement from the original brewer. I’ll use your video if I ever have to descale this version. Thanks for the video.
I’m so thankful to have found this video! I had no idea what a descale was or even how to start one! It literally saved me from almost throwing it out.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! Your tutorials on resetting the thermostat and getting the descale light off have saved me from purchasing another Keurig! ❤
Honestly, yours is the best video I've seen all day on how to do this maintenance on my machine.
Great video! Worked the first time after I followed your directions. Thank you...
The step by step instructions given in this video worked perfectly for me. Thank you!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Thanks, this video definitely came in handy, just finished the whole process took just about 30 mins
Your instructions were easy to follow and worked!!! You saved me from buying a new one. Thank you so much.
THANK YOU! Super helpful and it worked perfectly. Thanks for taking the time to help others, and for your simple get to the point style!
This has been one of the best instructions I had to follow!! Ty as I use this over and over again!!
