Descale

I bought this a few months ago and I love it. I use it everyday. I use Reverse Osmosis water in it and twice now I have gotten an error message to descale. Why? It’s reverse osmosis water. The error code won’t go away even if I run the descale program without the descale solution. I called Keurig up and the lady on the phone had me read the serial number off of it and so some trouble shooting. Then said I needed to have it replaced and we would do it under warranty. After being on hold for 20 minutes, they hung up on me. They had asked me for my number and address as well as email. You would think that after being disconnected they would call you back. Was I disconnect or hung up on on purpose.
This is the 2nd Keurig that I have owned. I purchased the K-Supreme coffee maker 8 months ago. After 7 months it just quit working. Thought at first I blew a fuse, because nothing was lighting up, tired another plug in and the same thing. And of course there is only a 30 day warranty. when they work, I absolutely love them, just wish they would last a little longer.
First off, I love this coffee maker. It’s easy to operate and brews very well! That being said, when I got to the descale process and followed the instructions it broke my machine. If you follow the descale process verbatim it could trip a thermal protection switch in the machine that you can’t easily reset. There’s other instances out there of this happening and videos online that show how to tear your machine apart to fix it, but you shouldn’t have to do that. Kudos to Keurig for their excellent customer service and getting me a prompt replacement. For anyone who is buying this or has the unit already, when you get to the descale process, WAIT 10 MINUTES between brews when you get to that part. I tried it out on my new machine and it gives enough time to cool off between cycling water through. Hope this helps someone and saves Keurig some hassle sending out replacements!
