OK, who has a Keurig?

[Deleted User]

Anyone have a Keurig?  Have you had problems with it needing to be descaled?  Any success with that?  Our is saying that it needs to be descaled & it won't un-scale!!  Ugh!!  I'm at a loss here. 

HELP, Please I need coffee!!

We have a Keurig but have never had to have it descaled.  Never even heard of that.  Sorry no advice here, hope you get it fixed soon. I don't know what I would do without my morning coffee.

Yeah, it has it on the display to de-scale.  I followed the instructions on the website, but it doesn't work still.  It says to use un-dilute vinegar, but I haven't found where they even sell that. 

It's been like 3 weeks.  OMG I am dying.  I sometimes buy a coffee, but that's too much $$ for me everyday.

Dude, put that in a box and return to Kohls STAT! They will give you a new one no questions asked.  That's what we did when ours broke very soon after buying it, and now we've had this one for like, 3 years.

That's what DH told me to do, but I don't have the box anymore.  Do I need it?  I know Target gives you major cr@p about returning things - is Kohl's better?

I haven't had to do it yet with mine.  Have you had it very long?

We've had it a year, maybe 1.5.

Well, just buy the new one and return the old one in that box.  I know it's a little dishonest, but if it stopped working inexplicably, it's easier than calling the company, etc. Also Kohls may not give a problem anyway. They are awesome about returns.

We had to descale ours after about a year of using it. You just buy regular white vinegar (a huge jug of it) and follow the directions on the website. You may also need a new water filter for it. They sell them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and random kitchen stores.

Good luck!

OK thanks!  I did use a huge jug of vinegar & it still doesn't work right.  I'm going to try a new filter.  If that doesn't work it'll be "Hello Kohl's customer service" lol

We have a Keurig and I cannot imagine life without it LOLOL!!!  I have had to descale with white vinegar and the descale light did not go off.  I found if I cleaned the needle on the top of the "flip up part" it helped.  I used a paperclip to put into the two holes in the needle.  Just gave it a little wiggle and BAM coffee was burring that same day.  

 

This was just by chance that I figured it out...I hope this helps.  Desperate times call for desperate measures.
