I did the descaling several times and left it exactly 4 hours and did NOT work either. Did the paperclip trick and everything you can think off. The only thing that WORKED for me is that I left the vinegar inside for longer time (from early morning to almost midnight (17 HRS, the longer the better). When I descale my shower head, it took about 2 days soaked in vinegar (with a little scrubbing) until it turns almost brand new (where I got the idea of soaking longer). Hope this helps anyone.

Can i use nuvera coffee cleaner keurig coffee maker

We use a 75% vinegar and 25 % water. Then we rinse it twice with plain water. Also remove the little K/cup holder and clean it good and then replace in the machine. Works for us!

How do I get the de scale light to go off at start up?

Hi
The descale light will only go off if you complete a descale on the machine. You will have to go to your owners manual and read how to descale your machine.

Here is a PDF page for Keurig machines if you don't have your manual.

They say to use white vinegar but I recommend Commercial descaler like from Starbucks or you can get it from online vendors. Vinegar leaves a taste unless you get it all out, after a couple of rinsings.

Descaling light on

Per Pages 9 and 10 of Keurig Model B40 Use and Care Guide,
1) turn off the "Auto Off "feature
2) fill empty water reservoir with 48 ozs of undiluted white vinegar.
3. Place ceramic cup on the drip tray and run a brew cycle. Do not use a K-cup!
4. Press the large mug Button
- let Keurig coffee maker fill mug with vinegar & empty in sink.
5. Repeat brew process until water reservoir of vinegar is empty. (remember to open and close lid between each cycle so large mug Button will flash.
6. Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly and fill with fresh water.
7. FINAL STEP RINSE CYCLE
a) place a ceramic cup on the drip tray
b) run regular brew cycles WITHOUT using a K-cup.
c) pour rinse water into sink each time.
d) repeat brew process until water reservoir is empty.
d) perform additional rinse cycles if you notice any residual vinegar taste.
e) if the red "De-scale" light remains illuminated after completing descale and rinse cycles, repeat the descaling procedure above.
Otherwise - you're good to go!
