how do I turn off the red light I cleaned my filter but the little red light on the top of the machine will not go off. Any ideas on how to turn this thing off?

Mine must be newer. After fiddling with it for a while, I discovered that the red light is the reset button, and you have to push it with a pen or something and hold it down for a few seconds until it starts to flash then release it.

Right below the red light is a recessed reset button for the light. Once you clean the filter stick a pencil or an object that can fit into the recessed button below the red light to reset the cleaning indicator. Took me an hour of fustration to figure that out >.<

I had no luck pushing the red light and finally put my thumb over the entire check filter area and both light went off.

I've tried everything in the world to reset the light. I've used a paper clip, a toothpick, the tip of a mechanical pencil, whatever would fit in that hole, and it just won't reset. The pre-filter and permanent filter have been cleaned. The company says I can return it at my own expense and get a new one in 2-4 weeks.

I discovered on my model ( the tower version) that you have to unplug the unit, and while holding down the "check filter" button, plug in the unit, the red light will flash, release the button and then the light goes off.

Jeff, Does your filtration system have a light (red/yellow/green) that indicates when the filter needs to be changed? Let me know if you do, as I may have your solution! kkt

Reset the red flashing cleaning light by touching and holding the on/off button for 5 seconds with the unit turned off. However, even if the unit needs to be cleaned, it should still operate. You may have bigger issues going on. Going forward, the cleaning light is simply a timer that goes off at 2 week intervals. Unless you are using really hard tap water, it shouldn't require cleaning that frequently. I'd recommend just checking it and resetting the timer if there's no obvious buildup of lime scale in the reservior under the tank.

According to the User's manual, a red light will illuminate when it's time to clean the filter.

The first of two new filters flashed red, then all lights stopped. Second filter from same package showed no lights at installation or during use. We clean all parts before each install. We think our faucet unit may have worn out (it's five-year's old).

I have had this particular unit since this summer. It has been consistent and reliable in keeping a constant humidity. However, periodically the "dirty filter" light will come on, so I will then clean it. I am not sure if the filter is not cleaned for an extended time, if it will shut=off?

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!

Clean it right after you brew your coffee. Don't let it sit in the brewer. I have no problem clean the filter. I love my mini Mr. Coffee brewer and permanent filter!�

I removed it, and used paper filters....until it quit working, after 3 months. The next one lasted almost 7 months. Disappointed. It was great while it lasted. It was beautiful, had so many great features and matched my appliances! Good Luck!!

After using mine for about a month I also noticed the same thing and had this same question. It was like that right out of the box. After researching the manufacturers website about this product it became clear that the red light means a burnt out UV bulb. The bulb cost as much as the whole filter and was not available so I trashed the whole filter. This is clearly not a quality product. Check www.aa-aquarium.com and see what you can find out.

Just hold the button down for a few seconds, no more red light. It drove me crazy. Thanks to the guy w/the answer.

I have not turned my unit off for a period of time. I only turn it off to clean it. Sorry I can't help you.

With the filter removed, look down into the cup that holds the filter and find the 2 contact posts that are right above and back a little from the light display. Check for dirt or anything that might interrupt the contact with the filter. Also check the bottom of the filter itself.

The red light should not be on. Check to see that the filter is in properly or read the owner's manual.

Did filter quit working or light or both? If it light you can easily replace the light. If it filter i would call manufacturer. See about getting replacement
