After using whole bottle of Durogol to descale tassimo, red light will not go off
Removing the red descaling light is simple.
1. Fill reservoir with half vinegar and half water (no need for the special descaling product from Tassimo).
2. Turn on machine.
3. Insert yellow cleaning disc found in back of machine.
4. This is where most people have the their problem...You must hold the start button for 3 to 5 seconds for the descaling program to start. Both green and red light will flash.
5. Once started, use a large cup to catch the output of water.
6. The machine will cycle through the descaling program in about 30 to 45 minutes. Be paitent!!!
7. Once completed, run many cups of plain water through the system to remove the vinegar taste.
8. Red light problem is solved.
Hope this works for you.
I was having the same problem but when I read the instructions here CAREFULLY I realized I wasn't holding down the button for 3 to 5 seconds. All I was doing was running the "clean" cycle, not the "descaling" cycle. Once I tried holding the button down, descale cycle came on. (I couldn't figure out why it said it takes 20 mins but that is because I was only running clean cycle)
I had a tassimo machine where I couldn't activate the descaling program because the orange light wouldn't go to green when the yellow t disc was put in. I have got another tassimo so I tried another yellow t disc and it worked. So if any one else has this problem it may just be the yellow t disc isn't being read by the barcode scanner.
I phoned tassimo same problem descaled 4 x ran 2 pitchers of water thru light still stays on . phoned tassimo under 1 yr waranty, replacing unit. told me to throw this one out, no solution.
I kept the start button pushed for 3-5 secs but still it will run the cleaning mode not the descaling mode... and only the green light flashed while the red light doesnt... :s
In order to keep your Tassimo machine
operational at full order, it is important to descale it every three
months. Descaling products are widely available from stores that sell
coffeemakers and espresso machines. Be sure that the product you buy to
descale your Tassimo machine is intended for this specific use only. Mix
the descaling product directly in the water container, following the
instructions provided on the descaling packaging. Then replace the water
container on the machine. Place a large cup or mug on the cup stand,
insert the cleaning disc, bar code down and close the brew mechanism. As
soon as the AUTO light illuminates, press and release the start/stop
button. This will fill the brew cycle with descaling solution. Empty the
cup and let the machine stand for 15 minutes. Then open the brew
mechanism and close it again, leaving the cleaning disc in place. Repeat
this step two more times for maximum descaling effectiveness.
Discard the remaining descaling agent from the water
container, rinse it well and refill with fresh, cold water. Clean the
machine by flushing water through it in the same manner and emptying the
cup as it fills. Make sure that all the descaling solution has been
completely rinsed away, and then flush two full water containers through
the machine before using it again. Remove the cleaning disc, rinse and
refill the water container and your Tassimo machine is ready to use.
Also, before you descale your Tassimo machine, always unplug it. Also,
never immerse the appliance in water and nor should you use abrasive
cleaning products or scouring materials on any part of your Tassimo
machine. This method works for most espresso machines,
including some of these popular models: the DeLonghi Magnifica
EAM3200S, DeLonghi Magnifica ESAM4200S, DeLonghi Perfecta ESAM5400,
Gaggia 74507BCN Classic, Krups EA8080 Espresseria Automatic, DeLonghi
PrimaDonna ESAM6600, the BC0255 DeLonghi coffee machine and the Krups Nespresso CititZ XN 7006.
