- 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.

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!
I am doing the same right now.
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 do the exact same thing, his video is the only one I can understand and follow
I COMPLETELY AGREE!!! My dad is THE FIX IT GUY and i go to him for everything. But he's 81 and doesn't have a clue about Keurigs, lol! Which is new school, he calls it! 😂 Thank you for such an informative and CLEARLY explained video, You Tube Dad! ☺️
Same. Here for the 3rd time
Yes easy 2 follow and works
Thx
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!
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!
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
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.
I just want to say, I came back 8 months later searched for your video ... HELPS me every time!!
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!!!!
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.
Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about, thank you so very much!!
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!!!
My first Keurig. I just came across your video. I need to descale mine. Thank you so much.
Thanks. Tried it once and it didn't shut off the descale. Then, after following your video, it worked! Thanks, "Dad"!
Excellent!
Easy enough for an adhder and autistic to follow so you're doing great at this man, thanks
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!
Excellent video! I could not get the descale light to go off, until I found your video and went through the steps. Everyone needs a Dad like you in their life.
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.
I can’t thank you enough for your well comprehensible, clear-cut video. Keurig customer wasn’t any help. Again, thank you!
Yeah. Keurig customer help was a waste of time for me, too. Thankful for this guy!
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’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.
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
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! ❤
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!
Oh my gosh!!!! Thanks dad!! I have an aweful habit of throwing away instructions…. Your the best!!
You are so welcome
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!
Thank you for doing this. Would love to see videos on simple fix it things around the house. Like if the toilet paper holder comes loose from wall. Etc etc.
my husband passed away about 2 years ago and I could really use help with things. Thank you 🙏
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!
Thanks Dad,, I couldn’t find my book and was getting frustrated! TH-cam took me to your supreme video first… this worked exactly as instructed less your add water saga!!! Thank you 🙏! Much ❤
Great job!
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 😂
This is the fourth time I have descaled my machine. When I went to do it this time I forgot you have to hold the 10 and the 6 in for three seconds so I had to bring your video up. All else worked perfectly. I am glad you have left this video up. Thanks.
Great job!
Thanks for putting this up. I lost the cleaning directions so this was a big help. Clear and concise. Thumbs up 👍
Every year im back here like clock work, salute to you!
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!
I use your video every time I descale just to make sure I don't miss a step. Awesome and very thorough video!!
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.
My Keurig is a gift that did not come in the original box, hence no instructions manual. I successfully completed the descaling, thanks to your excellent video. Thank you so much!
You're welcome
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!
Just finished my 5th descale. All worked perfectly thanks to this video.
Glad it helped
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
Great video and easy to follow! I watch your video every time I descale my machine just to make sure I don’t make any mistakes. Thanks
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped
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!
The step by step instructions given in this video worked perfectly for me. Thank you!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
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 for this decade tutorial. I watch it everytime I descale my keurig.
Wonderful!
You're the best. I am apparently having to descale every 2 months.
I appreciate the video. I watch it every time I descale
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
Thank you. You seem so kind and really helped me because I got this second hand and don't have a manual.
I watch this video every time I need to descale.
Best video I have ever found. I appreciate the easy steps!!
You're welcome!
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 this helpful step by step video! I was looking for my instructions for my Keurig...couldn't find them but I found the manual for my slow cooker which I've had for 8 years...lol. This video was a game changer for me.
You are so welcome!
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!!!
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!!!!
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!!
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 ❤️
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!!!!
Watching after 2 yrs that u uploaded this video. I was wondering what happened to our keurig, and I found this video really helpful😊
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!!!!
You're a life saver my man. I am an over the road trucker so I'm fairly rough on my Keurigs, which is to say I go through them every couple years. I've had the Slim, and the Express, and a couple others. Everytime I descale, I follow your videos, even if I've done the same video in the past. Thank you sir
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 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!
You made it so simple and easy!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
on my 5th keurig machine, you have helped prolong the life of the last 3. thanks for these videos!
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
Whenever I need help with my keurig, i always know who to turn to! Thank you so much, you're the best!
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!
I rewatch this video every time I need to descale. Thank you so much!!!
Here I am descaling again lol ☕️
Thank you this is the only video that help me to descale my machine thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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!
Your instructions were easy to follow and worked!!! You saved me from buying a new one. Thank you so much.
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 forget the process between descaling, so I have saved your video and refer to it each time. Thanks for such clear instructions.
You're very welcome!
Worked perfectly on the first try using your video thank you so much A++
You're welcome!
Thank goodness I found your video. For something so simple why do they make things so complicated? Worked like a charm!
I just cleaned my Keurig by following your instructions. Thank you for the concise and detailed instructions! Subscribed ✅
Awesome! Thank you!
Ty very much this helped a lot was wondering why it said descale and now I know 😊
It worked! I think mine has been in descale mode forever and I used bottled water in the RV. I am in my home now was getting frustrated as I could not figure it out. Thank you for the videos. I was able to watch the Keurig Duo one and get the coffee pot to finally brew.
From a dad to another thank you for this simple tutorial ! Got yourself another sub 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Bless you in the name of Jesus! This is a blessing to all of us who use this machine. I don't know what's in that descale solution as I've never used it. However, I am not into chemicals and feel much better about just using the vinegar. 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! Bought the K-Express for the RV in October of 2023 and brought it in the house for the winter. This morning it quit running water through at all. The descale light came on. I found the box it came in, but the manual wasn’t there, possibly still in the RV. We tried the descale method from a couple other videos, called Keurig and were ready to return it. While waiting for an email with the return reference # I took the water reservoir out and towel dried every little crevice as well as the part it rests in. Once I did that the water ran through and it seemed fine, but the descale light was still on. I found your video, followed exactly as you demonstrated and it works like a dream again. The other videos did not talk about how to get into the descale blinking mode. Thank you for taking the time to explain it in detail. No glitches once I completely wiped everything clean. Ready for my morning coffee now. ☕️Its never too late to start over.
PS. I subscribed
Best instructions on the internet for descaling this model! Thank you very much!!
❤Used D-Vinegar, descaled, and descale light terminated. Thank you for the invaluable tip.
Thank you, thank you. I had to replace one of these because I burned it up trying to follow the written instructions. Now I see what I did wrong. Really appreciate it.
Excellent!
I'm back like everyone else cause it's descaling time!!! This video has been a lifesaver honestly
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 .👍
I have to come back this video every single time I descale my Keurig because it never works when I try to do it solo 😅 thank you for guiding me through! It's so helpful!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! My descale light has been on forever even though I cleaned it. I came across your video and you were so easy to follow and it worked! Thank u!
You're welcome!
Thank you for these easy-to-follow directions. My "Add Water" light did not go out until I selected a cup size. Definitely subscribed!
You are so welcome!
Thank God I found this video!! In good time!!! I was getting frustrated descaling my keurig
Glad I could help!
Honestly, yours is the best video I've seen all day on how to do this maintenance on my machine.
Edit. Worked like a charm! I`m still recuperating from spine surgery, my laptop in the kitchen threw craps, so I had to write it down in the pc room and hobble back into the kitchen. All vinegar flushes. All water flushes done and light went out. *I did fill my fresh water in the resevoir all the way up to max fill line and maybe a hair more? All is well on my western frong LOL. Cheers dad, well done.
I can't seem to thank you enough for this video; I keep coming back to it each time I descale my Keurig. Again thanks !!!!
You are so welcome!
I just lost your video from my saved videos. Went looking for it again and found you. ❤ My Keurig K-Cafe is spic and span again. I can't wait for my next cup, tomorrow morning ❤ oh yes, one thing. I realized during the cleaning process that I still needed to clean was my receptor area that holds the little utensil "cup" that we put the coffee grinds in to make our cups of coffee with. Haa! I found one of your videos on cleaning that "receptor cup" holder area, too. Especially the needle. It's important to know how to clean that needle without breaking it. I think you suggested to use a very small paper clip and gently slide it through the tint slots. I think there are 3 slots and coffee does get stuck in there. Thanks so much for your help!! ❤
Good job and thanks for sharing!!!
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!
This video is so helpful! I've watched it 3 times now for descaling my Keurig. Thank you for making this video!
Good job
Your instructional videos are the most concise and easy to follow. Bless you for taking the time to help the rest of us. I am currently renting an Airbnb condo and thanks to u I can descale the unit Keurig for the owner. He thinks I'm an angel!!
THANK YOU! best video on you tube. I fumbled with this process a million times and just left the descale light on. Manual got chewed up by my Amazon Parrots. Thanks Again
I have had to look up this video every time I need to descale. 🤦🏻♀️ Hopefully next time I will remember the steps. Thank you so much for taking the time to make a detailed video without all the nonsense talking and then they never fully answer your questions. Your awesome.
