Nespresso Vertuo Plus Descale Workaround - How to fix stuck red yellow light 

THANK YOU! This was the only video on RU-vid that solved my problem! I was ready to throw away my coffee maker, but I decided to check one more video and it was yours. Thank you for posting🥰

My husband and I were about to throw the whole machine in the bin! So frustrating to be stuck in descaling mode!! Your video is the only one we found that worked and we are so grateful. Thank you!

Works perfectly! It’s amazing how wrong Nespresso’s videos and instructions are.

By Odin's beard you solved it. I was ready to chuck the stupid machine in the trash but this video finally allowed me to get it out of the descale mode! Thanks!

I cannot thank you enough, this fixed the issue I was having and along with others I was ready to give up totally!!! You need to be on the actual nespresso site because you covered everything so clearly. I love the no waffle presentation style. Clear, concise and it actually worked!!!!! Once again thank you so much, looking into the karcher videos you've made too, subscribed of course 😀

I was almost to throw my Nespresso to the garbage. This video saved my coffee machine. Thank you very much for the video!

Your're my freakin HERO!!! I was getting ready to toss it out the window.

You Sir, are an absolute genius. Thank you so much, if I lived in the UK, I'd make you a coffee.... because I now can!

The only video that actually helped. Even the step by step instructions on the Nespresso website did not fix the issue for my machine. This was so useful! Thank you 🙏 Saving this video in case it happens again.

Great video, saved me from throwing away this machine 👍

Thank you! Mine was stuck in de-scaling mode after descaling twice. Your process fixed it!

I almost bought a new machine! Hero amongst us. Thank you!

God bless you with this video! I may go to bed now and know my Vertuo is still alive and truly loves me and will give me my fresh brew in the morning before work! Thaaaaank youuuuuu - I am SAVING this video for my every six month descaling ordeal!! 🙏🏼❤️

Was so frustrated until I found this video. Thanks for posting. How did you come up with this solution??? Amazing 👏👏👏

Thank you for the tips!…It also works if you just disconnect the tank to stop the descaling instead of waiting to finish through the water.

Saved this video for next time!! This is my second machine with the same issue!! Truly helpful and your video is so easy to follow, I am no longer in caffeine withdrawal ☕️😋👏

Thank you! I have done this process so many times since owning my machine, and every single time I’ve had to call in Nespresso to get it out of descaling mode. You have made it so easy. I appreciate your step-by-step instructions, your calm, voice, and the visuals. I have just successfully exited my machine from descaling mode for the first time ever without having to call Nespresso in four years. Thank you 1 million times.

Best video on RU-vid for this machine! Thank You!!

This was amazing! My machine was also stuck in your video worked perfectly to get it back and working condition again. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video and helping all of us! Saving this for the next time too! ❤

Worked like a charm here in the States. Thanks Vince! - cheers

I have never ever commented on a video in my life but I came here to say that you are a beautiful unicorn. Can you tell me your first name? bc I thought I was done having kids... Seems I'm gonna need to have ONE more and name them after you. It's the only way to repay you. You're a goddamn international treasure. A YEAR stuck with that damn red and green light... FINALLY resolved.

Thank you sooooo much! Your instructions were clear, concise and easy to follow! And no extra gabbing and you speaking voice was clear and understandable. I wish more RU-vid videos were like yours.

IT WORKED!!!!! OMG IT WAS DRIVING ME MAD!!! THANK YOU xo

That works perfectly - I was stuck in the descale cycle after rinsing. Followed your instructions and worked on the 2nd attempt! Thank you 😊

Thank you so much it worked!!!! I’ve been descaling for two days to no avail my machine was over heating and I thought I was going to have to buy a new one after only having this one for a year.

You sir are awesome. I had exactly the same issue after descaling twice and was despairing. Your clear instructions fixed it straight away!!!!

Thank you I had the same problem and followed your instructions and it works, big thank you

Man, your trick did it for me. I spent the whole day trying to descale mine but kept getting stuck in the same red/yellow light after every attempt until I used your trick. Thanks so much for sharing this tip.

Thank you very much! I can only imagine how many iterations of trial and error you went through to finally come up with this successful procedure! 👍🏽

This has helped me get rid of that annoying light. My problem was waiting too long which I followed your instructions and did it right away and it worked!!!! Finally!!!! Thank you!!!

Second time I’ve run into this problem. First time I was on the phone with Nespresso for over an hour. Didn’t have that kind of time today and instead watched your video. Success! We are out of rinsing/descaling mode. Thanks so much.

Finally a vid that actually fixed our problem. Ty!

Thank you SO much for the fix! It was my first time descaling and thought I’d done something wrong. Then I found your video and I’m so relieved. Great explanations.

Your video was perfect. No other video was able to help me with my machine as yours. Thank you so much

It worked great I also had previously descaled my machine twice, and it was stuck in the de-scale mode

Thank you so much! This has been the only process that has worked for me.

Wow.. your video worked.. I got back the steady green light . Thank you very much you saved me a lot of frustration with this machine. It gives great coffee than the Kureg.. but this red and yellow light flashing.. bad for the psyche. Thank you you saved me a lot of time pain and agony.

This was a fantastic step by step! 🙌🏼👍🏻👍🏻 problem solved 👍🏻

Life saver!! The manual was useless and this saved our sanity. Thank you

Thank you so much! I bought two packs of descaling solution and ram the cycle multiple times. That light would NOT turn off. This was tje only bideo that helped.

YES!!!!! Thank you. I did it with cleaner a couple times. Then been doing the full descale process with plan water all weekend to no avail . Finally got a good cup of coffee.

Your video saved my sanityyy!!! Went through the entire process 3 times and the red and greed lights would not go away! You fixed my machine! Cheers!

THIS WORKED!!! My machine has been stuck for forever. Thank you!!!

Thank you - I am fed up with the descaling troubleshooting nightmare, you solved it

Thank you very much, this is the only method that worked for me!!

Brilliant! How Swiss engineering got this thing logic-looped…perplexing. Your remedy was indeed the ultimate HACK.

You, sir, are the “cat’s meow”. Thank you!!!

This is the only video that helped me! Thank you for taking the time to film it.

Cheers buddy, your video saved me some money because I thought my machine was in its way out. Top man thank you. 👍🏻

SENDING A BIG THANK YOU!!!! Of all the instructions and all the issues, this video not only educated me about the instructions not described by Nespresso but FIXED it first time!

The absolute best video concerning this issue. Thank you

now that's a fix I did NOT expect - YOU are the MAN - Thank you very much !!!

thank you so much! had the same problem and tried to solve it for hours. already found out by my self that you could cheat during the first step. but didn‘t know you could stop the rince mode manually. thanks a lot!

This is the only thing that worked. Thank you!!!

Soooo helpful, i descaled my nespresso and couldn't get out of the mode til i found this vid 😂

You are a gentleman and a scholar! Much appreciated, no fluff and straight to business. 🎉🎉🎉

This worked for me, thank you!!! We descaled our VertuoPlus machine, then based on the prompts it seemed like we didn't do it right so descaled again. Exited the descale mode but kept getting the red/yellow light. Apparently our machine was stuck in descale mode. We could still make coffee but it was always very bitter, almost sour. I noticed the machine seemed to be running extra hot too... Your fix was perfect, thank you! We have smooth tasting Nespresso again!

Thanks! I followed other instructions but when I tried to go back to normal mode it went green for several seconds then turned red/orange. Your procedure worked!

This worked like a charm! We were stuck in this descaling mode and it was very frustrating.

Finally! Thank you! The most annoying thing is that where I live, we don't even have any blasted limescale

I run into the same issue and this worked like a glove!! Thank you so much!

I echo my thanks for helping to fix this problem. You are a lifesaver bc this has truly been bothering me.

Thank you SO much. This video fixed the problem. You’re a star. Keep doing what you’re doing! Cheers.

Great video this has been doing my head in for about 2+ years an easy solution.

It’s a miracle!! Thank you thank you thank you 😊 I have tried so many different things to get rid of red/yellow circle. It’s green now thanks so much for your direction.

Thanks I spent ages trying get the pesky red/green light to go off. Worked straight away 😊

Brilliant! Worked like a charm. Thank you!

thanks you for the info, machine fuction normal again. You an actually trick it faster after one rinse.

Thanks so so much - saved me 79£ nespresso repair

Thank you so much , before finding your video, it was driving me mad. I have now saved video for next time.

Thank you! It worked! Stuck in this mode for months!

Awesome video. You just saved me from smashing my machine and having to buy a new!

Well played sir. There had to be an answer and you’ve provided it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Worked a treat! Thank you!

Thank you so much, thats really worked!

Bless you! This was the only advice that actually worked!

Thank you , thank you, thank you! How did you figure this out? Why is it so complicated? Makes me wonder if the old way of several manual buttons wasn’t better?

Thank you! Very helpful.
