Many of the Walmart GE 12-Cup Digital Coffee Maker 169164 get stuck in the cleaning mode. Here is how to fix your coffee machine controls if they stick or lock up.



With the 169164 coffee maker plugged in and the small blue light stuck on or flashing at you, press and hold the 1-4 button and the TSB button at the same time for 4-5 seconds or so. This will cause the frozen Coffee cooker to exit it’s error status and return to its normal working functions.

Your GE Coffee maker should now be back in it’s just out of the box state.

Update: Nearly 1 million General Electric coffee makers sold at Walmart are being recalled after dozens of reports of overheating, smoking, burning and fires.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which announced the recall Thursday, said Walmart has received 83 complaints about the GE-branded coffee maker, including three reports of minor burns to consumers’ bodies.
The reports of property damage include a significant kitchen fire and damage to countertops, cabinets and a wall, said the CPSC.
The recall involves about 900,000 GE 12-cup digital coffee makers sold exclusively at Walmart stores nationwide.
The coffee makers, with the GE logo printed on the base, were sold in white or black from March 2008 through January of this year. The model numbers involved are 169164 and 169165.
Consumers are advised to immediately stop using these coffee makers and return them to any Walmart for a full refund.

    Thank you for this info! My unit is still stuck; it won’t brew or run the hot plate after this however.

    Coffee Dad: Don’t know what else to do. Possible return to wallyworld for swap-out. They usually will without a receipt.
