A common issue with Keurig brewers is that the power stays on even after the brewer has been descaled. This happens when water remains in the machine and prevents it from shutting off. Make sure power is turned off at the circuit breaker if you are not using your brewer, and then try turning it back on. If this still doesn’t work, descaling your machine may be necessary, Check to see if there is water in the brewer
2. Reset the machine by pressing and holding the coffee button for about 5 seconds until it begins to flash (it will stop flashing after a few cycles)
