From bottles to bottled, Avalon makes different kinds of water dispensers, which are among the best in quality. However, using these next-gen water filters and dispensers can be quite challenging for new users. Newer water dispensers, especially Avalon use LED indicator lights to warn you about various things.

In this article, we’ll explain in detail why is the red light blinking on my Avalon water dispenser and how to fix it.

In short, the blinking red light indicates that your filters need cleaning or changing. For a detailed answer, continue reading below.

Reason for the Blinking Red Light on Avalon Water Dispenser

Depending on your particular Avalon water dispenser model, it will come equipped with one or multiple indicators. Dispensers with a single LED indicator will use different colors to indicate different things. However, water dispensers with multiple indicators will have the logo printed on top of each signal indicator.

Regardless, the red light on both models means the same thing. When it starts blinking, your Avalon water dispenser is trying to tell you that your filter needs to be changed soon. But you still have a few days of time.

However, the blinking red indicator will remain static (always turned on) when the filter’s life is completely depleted. So, an always-on red indicator on your Avalon water dispenser indicates that your filter is no longer functioning and needs to be changed immediately.

Generally, it takes about six months for the filter to deplete completely. But if you use your water dispenser heavily, it’ll take a shorter amount of time.

Fixing the Blinking Red Light on Avalon

The only way to fix the blinking red light on the Avalon water dispenser is to change the water filter then reset and flush it.

1. Replacing the Filters on Avalon

Shut off both of the valves, one that connects your water dispenser to your main water source and the one that is inside the cabinet of the water dispenser. However, for smaller Avalon models, there’s only one valve that connects the dispenser to the water source.

Obtain appropriate Filter Adapters according to your Avalon model beforehand. Twist the filters, usually anti-clockwise, to remove them. Then twist the new filters into place. Installing them requires a clockwise twist, just so you know.

Afterward, turn on the previously shutoff valve (s) wait for a few minutes, and proceed to the next step, which is flushing your Avalon water dispenser.

2. Resetting Your Avalon Water Dispenser

When you are done replacing the filters on your Avalon water dispenser, it’s time to reset the filter. To do so, first, locate the reset button on your Avalon. For larger models, it’s inside the cabinet.

When you’ve found it, press and hold the reset button. Keep it pressed until the red light goes off.

After that, your filters need flushing. Allow it to rest for two minutes, at least. By letting it rest, we mean letting the water flow into the spout. And you are done.
