KURIG YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.!!!

The k model i have is a year old . It was blinking descale and i descaled it 10 times . Now get double flashing lights on all brew sizes ( they flash twice then off ). Here's why .

My brewery sat for 6 months unplugged and lost the descale program. Now it will not keep tract of how many cups and program is not resetting . Oh I can make it flash the descale and it goes thru regular recycle like it should but the descale program does not reset thus the double flash .

The maker is programed at the bottom of maker you'll see a little door . Open it with screwdriver and you'll see where they connect to program the EPROM chip .

Here's why the program got lost .

There's a chinese capacitor acting as a backup battery for the Chinese made EPROM chip which has the program. When the capacitor looses charge thru time good by program . Good by coffee maker .

Kurig you have a problem and from what I'm reading it's very common . Should have went with an SRAM chip. No capacitor needed !

Should be sued .
