My kdou stop working
Your Keurig K-Duo Essentials may not be working due to a common issue where the machine starts heating but then the Carafe button flashes red and no coffee brews. This problem may be fixed by troubleshooting steps such as resetting the machine or cleaning internal parts. If the issue continues, internal components may need to be accessed and checked, which involves disassembling the machine carefully.

My descale light will not turn off
The descale light on your Keurig K-Duo Essentials may not turn off because the machine does not have a special descaling mode. You need to run vinegar or a descaling solution through the system as if you were brewing a K-Cup or a carafe. If the light remains on, it could be due to hard water buildup that has not been fully removed. Additionally, some Keurig models turn the light on after a set number of brews rather than detecting buildup. Ensure that you have thoroughly flushed the machine with clean water after descaling. If issues persist, buildup may be clogging internal components, requiring further cleaning.

The carafe side is not heating after descaling. Any suggestions?
The carafe side of the Keurig K-Duo Essentials may not be heating after descaling due to mineral buildup on the heating element inside the water tank. Hard water deposits can accumulate on the heating element, preventing it from functioning properly. If the descaling solution was not allowed to sit for at least 30 minutes, it may not have effectively removed the buildup. Running another descaling cycle and ensuring the solution sits around the heating element could help restore proper heating.
