Cleaning Mode Not Working

Recenlty the Clean light started blinking at me. I followe dthe directions in the manual to use 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water to clean it. I did this twice and it's still blinking. What's wrong and what can I do to ensure it's actually clean?

Have you replaced the water filter if your model has one?  I pulled mine and there was a giant clog of coffee grounds.  After clearing it and cleaning the filter holder and changing the filter, the light went off, even though running the clean cycle didn't work. 
Don't know if this will solve your issue or not but worth a try.
