To replace water filter: Pull water filter holder out of reservoir, snap open, insert new charcoal water filters (can be ordered from Cuisinart or purchased froma store like william-Sonoma)
To clean machine: Run 2 cups water and 2 cups distilled white vinegar through machine like you would normal coffee.
To get rid of annoying self-clean lite: unplug machine from wall outlet for 20 minutes or longer.

Unplug the machine for 20 minutes or longer - don't skimp on the amount of time, or it won't work. After 20 minutes, plug the coffeemaker back in, and you will see that the self-clean light is now off.

Hello dhubert14,
This is a really common problem with the cuisinarts. I am most familiar
with the DCC-1200, but you may be able to solve the problem. This an indication that something is plugged up. Open the top of
the unit and in one of the corners you should find a filter stick or
column that is removable. Pull it out and open it up to clean out the
clogged up carbon filter in there. (You can later buy a new filter on
Amazon.) Clean out the debris from the bottom of the cavity. Replace
the stick into the cavity once cleaned. Now it's time to run through a
solution of 2 parts water and 1 part vinegar. Do this once or twice
with fresh solutions, then with a pot of fresh water. When the filter
stick is plugged up the sensor says its time to clean it, but most
people don't know about this fix. I hope this is really helpful to you, dhubert14. Positive feedback is appreciated. Good luck. NormanZ
SOURCE: I have a cuisinart dgb 650 series coffeemaker and
I've had the same problem and solved it by washing the lid with my WaterPik. I put warm water in the WaterPik, turn it up to the highest setting and blast away all the grime, coffee grounds, sediment, and calcification. I do this right after decalcifing the coffeemaker and anytime someone goofs and causes the pot to overflow from forgetting to empty old grounds, or old coffee, or from carelessly placing the carafe under the brew basket valve. If it overflows from any of these causes and gets grounds in the lid it will likely clog the lid and cause it to overflow later from the clogged lid. After decalcifying the coffeemaker, the lid tends to get clogged with the gunk that you just cleaned from the coffeemaker. Using a paper filter while decalcifying may help keep some of the sludge out of the lid. If you use the goldtone filter like I do, you will find the lid may occasionally clog from the fine sediment that gets through the permanant filter. Works great for me and keeps my Cuisinart dripping like it should.
If you don't own a WaterPik, they're not that expensive and both you and your dentist will be pleased with your next checkup. Wish I had bought one years earlier than I did.
