why wont the clean lite go off?

Sorry, I guess we didn't own this long enough to see the clean lite go on. It never did.

I believe it stays on unless you are brewing or in program mode If you push the button once (after you see the "clean" indicator) it will beep and begin brew and clean light will go off. If you hold it down for a second or so it will engage your brew program and the light will go out and "auto" light comes on.

You have to run an actual "clean" cycle, not just run a regular brew cycle with water and vinegar. The manual has the directions to do this, and it can be downloaded from KitchenAids website if you don't have the original paper version that came with the coffee maker.Remember to pull out the charcoal water filter during a cleaning cycle.

I don't know. It happened shortly before the coffee maker went out completely. It always took quite a lot of cleaning cycles with vinegar and water for the light to go out before, but this time it just wouldn't go out. And we always cleaned it soon after the clean light showed up, so not sure why this unit acted as it did. I just read the other answers to your question, and we did follow the directions in the manual. We selected the clean cycle and pulled out the filter and still had issues.

I think I solved it. Once you clean it as the manual says you need to reset the system. With it plugged in but NOT turned on, put a paperclip or something in the reset button and press the (I think) Timer button. Should work then. The reset procedure I just described is in the manual right after the cleaning instructions.Thats funny V. Montez, I did the same thing - put it away for a cpl months and finally decided to tackle that damn blinking red light. Its all working well now!

I recently bought this iron and after several hours of usage, the clean message came on. I followed the instructions, but the clean message would not go out. What's up?

It will stop itself and signal an error code. You will need to untangle it and restart it to continue its cleaning cycle.

If it is not sealing, turn up the timer. When the light is on, it seals and then goes off automatically.

I believe I have had that situation in the form of unplugging the device for a minute while on. As I remember, it did not reset to "off." Sorry I can't be more specific. If I remember, I'll try it at home tonight.

Yeah it's ok to use it with the light on. Make sure the Metal Grid is completely dry first. Reassemble and plug it in and turn off. Next get like a pen and push the reset button at the top right and the timer button at the same time to reset the machine. Turn on and the light should be gone.

You might have a defective unit. Mine works great. I have had it for a year now and it works great! Haven't had to clean it once.

Use the tip of a ballpoint pen in the hole next to the red light indicating clean the filter. Takes a few seconds and the red light goes off. I haven't had a problem with this. Janice

hold the lite between your thumb and fore finger and squeeze really hard, you should hear a faint click. If you squeeze two times very quickly the lite will blind on and off like the signal on your car. If you do this and it still don't lite replace the batteries. if the above do not work the lite may be defective.

If you can not get it to move to shut off--yes it is a malfunction. Mine does not "stick" on a light. The button might be stuck. Call the manufacturer. it has 3 settings plus off. The red light is the highest one.

mine have been in service for years with no problems. i have this in a walkway brick light, some of which fill with water and sand covering the led, and i just clean them off. couldnt be happier!

Thanks. I was wondering if you could leave it on all the time or just test the line and then remove it.

Yes, I once exposed a screen longer than the recommended time and it was extremely difficult to remove the part that should wash out. Instead of coming out with a forceful spray of water I had to scrub. I believe it's important to stick to the exact time listed for the light source you are using.

Make sure you check the switch there is a test mode, make sure you are in the right setting and it will stay on

The cleaning unit is auto off. I leave mine in to clean and charge overnight, then put it in the case.

I had the same problem with a different unit and replaced it with this. Have you run the cleaning sheets through it? I would suggest that and as the other response suggested, try to get it to reset itself.
