Question posted by lanysse on December 13th, 2012

I Have A Kitchenaid 12 Cup Termal Carafe Pot. Kcm 223. The Pot Has Been Cleaned.

Now I can't get the "clean" from stopping to blink all of the time. I try to make a pot of coffee and sometimes it works and sometimes not and the "clean" blinking will not go away.
