HOW TO OPEN Keurig K-Slim K Cup Coffee Maker K190 HOW DOES IT WORK ON INSIDE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 окт 2021
- I show you how to open the Keurig K-slim coffee maker and look inside how a Keruig Coffee maker brews coffee. Where the heater is and the water pump are. How they work to produce a cup of coffee. I explain the add water light, sensor, and how it works. How your add water light comes on. How does your vent valve work and the air pump. How clean are the tubes inside a Keurig Machine.

Top notch video. Well explained. From one dad to another, Thank you!
This so cool. I usually open and repair my appliances but hesitate because of with the wife. I had a descaling problem which wouldn't go away and this video helped me understand the internals.. Well done and thank you
What did you do to resolve descaling issue once it was open?
Same issue with ours. Will not come out of descale.
Thanks. I slowly opened top and side but only partially ( the hooks towards front and two along the bottom side) and that was enough for me to see and get access to air tubing. Mine was split judt after where it turns back up to the air compressor. So I was able to cut at split and reattach to the bottom of air compressor. I got VERY lucky! I did consider landscape spinkler tubing when I saw the issue. BUT it works now!!! Buying me another year or more before having to buy new machine!
Thankyou! You explained where and how the water level switch works. Simple fix, add jumper to satisfy that input. Works like a charm now.
Excellent!
Thanks after watching your video was able to reset thermal switch in my wife’s k900 really appreciate it
Thank you for this!! Your video helped me find the problem with the water pump and now I can have a hot cup of coffee in the morning 🙌
Fantastic! Good job fixing your coffee maker!!!!
I had trouble taking mine apart but your video helped alot! Thank you!
Thanks for disecting your K-Slim for us.
The water level sensor in mine always stays on! Based on your video, I'm going to leave it alone for now, and just keep an eye on the resevoir.
Thank you! One of my wires got cut when I closed it. The machine would not turn on after it came down on a K-cup. I was able to get in and fix it. Thanks again!
Great video! Followed your directions and managed to remove the cover. The back was more difficult to get loose as you mention. Pressed the thermal switch and power was restored. Thank you!!
Great to hear!
I have watched the video twice but can't figure out how to reset the thermal switch. We have the cover off but can't find the location of the switch. Please help!
@@mdysupermom Watch this video starting from 5:04 thru 5:40. He shows you where the switch is and how to reset it. ruclips.net/video/IdE_4NIQEro/видео.html
@@mdysupermom yup, I'm stuck as well
Thank you! With your video, I was able to remove the cover and found one broken wire to the micro switch. Those two wires have no strain relief by design. So I am not surprised they broke after a year of daily use. Anyway I got it soldered back and it is working now!
So glad it helped
Thank you, as another dad, I was baffled by the snap together construction of this thing. With your revelations, I was able to get the cover off and found the wire to the lid micro switch broken at the hinge. A dab of soldier and the little bugger is back in action. Thanks again.
Good job fixing it
Tossing stuff out is just not a dad thing. My dad always said at least take it apart- it is broke anyway.@@JustADad
Thanks for the info on how to get these opened up.
Your welcome!
Thank you this helped a lot pressure line was fill with grounds would not work at all until I cleared the line
Good job fixing it!!
Excellent video! Thank you
You are welcome!
Thank you so much! I had to reset the "breaker" switch because it overheated during the dreaded descaling procedure because it is improperly programmed into some of the units I understand. So now I have TWO working K-Slims!
yeah good job figuring it out and fixing it!
Where is this breaker switch and how is it reset? I have had TWO k-slims fail to power on after descaling.
OK, so I just saw the comment saying the thermal switch is at the top of the aluminum heat tubing? Just curious how to reset it.
It’s got a small hole right in the center of the ceramic insulator and there’s a disc a metal disc inside and you have to push really hard to get it to reset I used a bamboo skewer with a real fine point. you can’t see the desk somebody told me it was in there. there is a discussion of that specific topic you have to search it out on the Internet.
I think it was on a Keurig website actually.
@@jeffd8597 Thanks for the tip
I've got an issue not covered on this model. The power light does not come on. It will blink for a moment while closing the lever but that's it. Also, if i then press 80z and 12oz, they will light and after 3 seconds or so the descale light will blink for a moment but that's it. No noise, water doesn't get sucked in, nothing. That ribbon cable looks ok as well as the blk/wht wire going to the lid latch. No water leaks, everything looks ok. We've got a bunch of these that are failing with the same symptoms. Almost feels like a sensor was tripped that shuts down power but I can't see anything like that on the board.
Hi! I think I got the same problem with this (older?) K-slim model. I.e. it will blink once and off immediately whenever I press the power button. Curious if you've found any workaround for this.
I've pulled it apart and the inside looks clean. Though, there's no disk-shaped thermostat to reset. Thanks!
@wirawitrueopas2781 this is my exact problem right now. No thermostat reset so I'm standing here with a keurig taken apart on my counter and no idea what to do. 😂😂😂
thank you father
Thanks for the video. I was stuck getting the cover off because I didn't pay attention to the handle.
A couple of comments: on mine the water heater is different, it looks like one vertical element surrounded by a coil of aluminum tubing. The thermal switch is on the top. Mine needed to be reset.
Reassembly is easier if you separate the cover into three pieces: the u-shaped front and sides, the top, and the back. They are all held together by tabs. Put the u-shaped part on first, aligning the guides at the front of the U, and the two small hooks on the sides, and snapping the tabs into place and putting in the two bottom screws that were under the rubber plugs. Then put the top in by sliding it into place from back to front. The last half inch will snap into place. Then put the back on, bottom in first while the back is on an angle away from the coffee maker, then straighten it up and snap it into place. Then screw in the other two bottom screws which are attached to the back panel.
Thanks for sharing these important steps.
Absolutely right about reassembling. WAY easier when you do it in separate parts. I did it in two parts. The sides and top as one and the back plate as the second. Very helpful.
Thank you
My neighbor threw out her mini. At first, it worked, then it didn't. So I found this on RUclips. I tried to unscrew the screws but no. I then drilled them out and pulled the surround off. Next, I took off the hose that goes to the check valve. I blew into and sucked out on the valve. Put everything back together, and now it works like new!
Awesome
I was here way longer then I needed to be lol
Where is the thermal reset for the K Slim? After descaling, my K Slim must have overheated. I am going to try a reset. Thanks
What a complicated gadget!!! Mine clogged, so Ive been making hobo coffee. Just take a pan, boil water and throw coffee in it:) Tastes way better, too!
Can you reset thermostat on the K190? Mine is the Ushaped.
I use distilled water. Never have to descale. Never have slime growing inside the unit. And yes, the K machine works perfectly.
Hey just a dad i have the same one got it apart thanks to you but it wont turn on. Does this k slim have a thermostat reset? If not what can i do to fix it dont have the money to get a new one right now and me and the mrs needs our coffee in the am.....please reply if you can....thank you so much
Just got it fixed thanks to this video! Thank you 🫡🫡
You're welcome!
I took mine apart with you hoping to find a problem with the pressure hose. We have had k cups exploding and making a huge mess. I've done all the cleaning tips on another video of yours and nothing works. I've also descaled. I can see water in a couple tubes and one is light brown. I'm afraid to try to disconnect the tubes because they seem pretty tight. My only thought is that there is too much pressure. Any advice?
I enjoyed this one! Do you have a video where you take apart a K-Mini Plus? I'm curious how the heating element works on that. Mine takes a couple minutes to heat up so I'm assuming it has a different setup than these other ones.
yes, ruclips.net/video/K2Sk9kkhwDw/видео.html
They are really not meant to be taken apart, there is not much to work on.
Using my K-slim this morning I had two consecutive k-cups blow out the top of the lid and get grounds inside the top where you put the k-cup in. I started to disassemble but decided to search youtube first before I broke it. I popped out the "funnel" that the k-cup sits inside. Its two piece and I took the bottom cone off so I could poke a paperclip up from below through the needle that punctures the bottom of the k-cup as I thought it was clogged. It wasn't. Now it may be that I had some faulty cups, I didn't inspect the first one prior to putting it into the machine, but the second one I did. Online it said that some cups may be underfilled, or if your cup top domes its got too much air inside. The problem with that theory, the needles puncture the top and bottom prior to starting. Both of these cups were domed down into the cup, so I don't think that was a problem. I guess I need to try a different brand to see if it still does it. A couple weeks ago I had some excessive steam and only got a few ounces in my mug. I just pushed the 10oz buttom and ran it again in the same cup (opened lid and closed it) and it ran fine. a couple cups later it did the same thing, but never since. I've only had it since Christmas, my first Keurig.
Is there a way to modify to get the water hotter because Keurig make below warm coffee.
Thanks for the video. Is there a way to increase the water temperature?
Not on the slim. make sure it is not in high altitude mode.
If you ever dop another K-Slim video, could you go over removing the closing handle and repairing obstructions? Mine doesn’t close unless I reach in and press down a piece of plastic in the back. The handle also seems like it is coming loose on one side. Thanks.
Thank you for your videos! They are super helpful. I fixed my in laws k Supreme but I can't find the reset hole on the k slim I own, I took it apart like you did. Is there a way to reset it that you know of?? When I push the on button the light turns on the immediately shuts off
the older K Slims do not have a reset on the u shaped heating element. you might have a clogged upper needle.
I was descaling my slim today and that strange rubber piece at 2:54 came off. Do you know how I would reattach that? I can’t figure out where it goes..
Hey, thanks - for this video! I'm looking for further detail on the microswitch that confirms the lid is closed. It was intermittent - every 3-5 open/close reps it would work, now it takes 10-20, so I'm pretty sure it's a loose wire. So, I need to disassemble the top portion by the switch. Do you have such a video or can you point me in the right direction? I have a K-Slim. Thank you!
I tried to take the top apart and its alot more work.
I have the same issue. My light flickers but never stays on. I'm assuming it's a short in the wire or the micro switch but I can figure out how to get the top off. Any ideas on how to fix? Much appreciated.
Hi, where can i buy the circuit board and the ribbon cable? thanks.
Have a new one of these and water is not as hot as my Mother's. Any insight would help. Thanks
How do I replace the broken silver latch handle? I have the replacement handle and other parts.
So this isn't the model that I have. I have the K900. But the heating element looks exactly like that. Mine will turn on the add water function lights up but none of the other lights will turn on and I cannot brew anything. Any idea on what the problem could be?
Thanks for the video. Is there a way to fix the pump so the correct amount of water is dispensed. It only puts out about 2 oz regardless the size selected. Have only used the Keurig about 20 times since it was purchased, have cleaned the needle and descaled, nothing seems to fix. Is there a reset button or something like that?
Not that I know of
I would call Keurig customer care at 866-901-2739. This could be a known issue Keurig has with this model of Keurig. they have great customer service. I think you will need proof of Purchase.
Man I just watched your whole video I took mine apart mine wasn't showing that it had enough water even though the reservoir was totally full I troubleshoot the heck out of this thing and you know what it was My water is too clean and is not electrically conductive enough so it never thinks it has water in it
hi sir, I just watched your video because our keurig k slim is leaking water when brewing coffee, I opened the cover and tried it to check where the leak is coming from and I found out it's leaking from the water pump, between the aluminum case and the lower plastic case of the water pump. can it still be fixed? or can I put some epoxy or can It be tightened to stop the leak? or I have to buy a replacement? this is a brand new machine and we brewed coffee no more than 20 times yet and in less than 2 weeks its already leaking. do you have a video on how to fix the water pump or how to remove and replace it? I hope it still can be fixed huhuhu..
Great video, thanks. No matter how many times I descale, my light will not go off. I opened it, checked everything to no avail. Any suggestions?
Keurig has changed the way you descale your coffee maker. You have to put the machine in descale mode and follow it all the way through to get the descale light to go out.
step by step instructions see below. You have to follow them all the way through.
I hope this helps. put the descale solution in the tank. You have to put the machine in descale mode. First leave the machine plugged in, then turn the power button off. Press and hold the 8oz and 12oz button for 3 seconds till the big k brew button starts flashing. This puts it into descale mode. The only thing you will see is the big k button light on. the power button does not light up. press the k button and it will run 12 oz through the machine. keep pressing the k button till the add water light comes on. don't touch anything just put fresh water in the reservoir and the add water light will go out and the big k button will start flashing again. press the big k button to start the machine again this time it will be rinsing the machine at 12oz each time you press the button. keep pressing the k button till the add water light comes on again. Once you fill it up with water again it will come out of descale mode and now you are ready to use it again. turn it on and the descale light should be out. Let me know how it goes. YOU GOT THIS!!!!
Hi Just A Dad, and thanks for your video. Is it possible this is a stainless steel heating element, rather than aluminum? I ask because aluminum is generally not considered safe for food contact surfaces, especially where the aluminum might be exposed to acidic (descaling) solutions.
Good point, Not really sure.
The handle broke on mine today. Since new it always made a snap sound when opening and closing. Can I replace the handle?
Hey does this model have any kind of thermostat reset? I've looked looked but there's noting on it like the other ones. This is the exact model I have that stopped working.
if it has 5 needles then it does ruclips.net/video/UfuYrtctAp0/видео.html
but the older ones do not
Great video! Mine is not brewing and I've seemed to isolate it to the needle. I removed the supply line that feeds the hot water to the needle and that seems to be completely blocked. Should either suction or pressure pass freely through to the needle? I can get pressure to pass through if I apply enough pressure but I don't know if it should pass freely like blowing through a straw.
Update: I was able to remove the needle assembly. There is an "L" nipple the hot water supply attaches to and that seems to be the source of the block. Not sure if it's a check valve but the hose is clear and the needle is clear. Going to soak in vinegar to see if that does it.
Update 2: The "L" nipple is a check valve. Soaking it alone in vinegar didn't help but I was able to snake a thin gauge wire into it and push the valve open. Wasn't sure it worked because blowing into it didn't allow air to flow but once reconnected the pressure from the machine was more than enough to start the flow again. Thanks again for this video!
thanks for sharing your fix!! and good job Fixing it !
Thanks for the video. My slim will not power on and unfortunately mine has the u shaped heating element and I could not find a thermal switch to press. When I hit the power button it lights for a spit second and then nothing. Tried holding the 8 and 12oz buttons and they light when held for a second or two then go off and nothing. Any advice. Made sure the outlet was ok. Have another Keurig making coffee on the same outlet. Thanks
I have the same problem--different design of the heating element and I cannot identify the thermostat. Have you found an answer to this?
Tried a new circuit board to no avail. Came on but water not hot. Bought an instant pot brand coffee machine and so far so good. Seems to be better made.
Great video- got thermo reset butlid is locked closed- tried to force open and brole handle which i could replsce if i could get the darn lid open- how? Still have cover off from theo rrset😂
Okay so my husband put his silicone wedding ring on top of our keurig slim and now it’s somehow in the void between up top where you open to put a pod in. Any thoughts on how we get this part apart and keep our machine in good use???
I would open it up, you should be able to find it.
Good morning thank you for this video. My my reservoir base where the reservoir sits into the Kslim leaks instantly. We thought a piece had come out of the reservoir but it didn't and we tried placing this little piece, and I will show you a picture, into where the reservoir sits into the K slim and it got stuck in there but didn't belong there. Upon taking it out I ruined the base. Anytime we sit the reservoir into the base of the K Slim it instantly leaks water out the bottom
Sorry no place for a picture :(
Thanks for sharing
Big hint: Pry off the back first. It comes off easily and makes the case removal much simpler.
Been having an issue with low pressure. Doesn't start with a plume of steam anymore. Still gets hot, no visible leaks. Cleared line for pressure sensor. I'm stumped
Is there a thermal switch reset for the model in the video - U-shaped heating tubes as opposed to the spiral style on the other models?
The K slim has the u shaped and I could not find where or if you can reset its thermal switch. The video that I have of resting the thermal switch is for the K Supreme model it has the spiral Style. ruclips.net/video/IdE_4NIQEro/видео.html
@@JustADad thanks. I took it all apart after descaling and it seems to work now so...I guess it just needed to be shown who's the boss.
@@alexandermeyers5302 Funny!!
Hey guys omg I CAME HERE JUS FOR THIS COMMENT I WAS LITERALLY waiting for him to explain where the thermostat was.. I took mines apart and I could not find it.. Lol I'll just purchase a new machine
How do I reset the thermostat on this model?
Do you have video how to fix the water light . It’s ON on my Keurig k-slim even the water tank is full. Thank you!
I've had the same issue with my keurig k35 compact. I opened the back cover and noticed water in tube was not reaching the water level sensor box. So, I used a turkey baster to push forced water from inside the reservoir unit into where the push valve is. Forcing water into the level sensor box. Add water blue light is now off.
Man, the Lord bless you. Ran a descale and this thing went to pot. Thought it was the thermal switch, like in your k supreme video. I followed instructions from your two vids, and my slim is turning back on. I think, during the descale it actually continued to try and run without water, which was strange. I need to watch it more closely next time
This just happens to me.. I descaled and it ran without water and now it won’t turn back on. I’m worried it broke..
@@Muginami01 yep, that happened to me. If you follow this video, and another one he did on the Keurig Supreme, you'll be able to fix it. Removing the shell was the most frustrating, and time consuming, part. You can do it though, just be patient with yourself. I was happy I pushed through, lol I don't even drink the coffee in my house
My reservoir is not pumping water it’s actually bubbling water back outward is there anything I can do 3:25 to fix it
In the water reservoir can you clean the are where the water goes thru
yes, It can be a little tricky
Would you know how to fix it when it doesn’t turn on at all?
Need help. The design of the Keurig K Slim in this video is different than all the videos you have posted on "how to reset" the unit when the power button or descaling action won't work. There isn't a visible reset. Help. Thanks
the older k slim does not have a reset it has a u shaped heating element, see this video ruclips.net/video/UfuYrtctAp0/видео.html
I wonder what would happen if they replaced the plastic lines with copper ones.
Someone at home connected this 120v machine to a 230v outlet and it stopped working 😅. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated brother. Thanks.
I have a Keurig slim the pump starts after about 10 seconds it shuts down no power any ideas why
Trying to descale a Keurig slim. The power keeps shutting off. I took it apart to reset all went fine, put it back together and still having the same problem. Any suggestions?
Maybe a clogged needle
How do you remove the handle? Mine broke.
Great video. However after experiencing a Keurig Supreme failure with a less than 2 year old machine and seeing what is involved with trying to get one repaired I have to conclude Keurigs are garbage. A complete ripoff for a $160 machine that can't make coffee for 2 years and then is a giant PITA to fix. For the cost of time involved and parts cost I decided to just buy used machines off local sellers for $10-$30. When they die I will just spend replace them with another second hand unit.
So I opened up my keurig, tried to reset like you showed in other videos but it didn't have the same part. This one looks like mine but not sure how to reset it so it turns on. Any advice?
Same here its a U shape
how did you open up the back part of it. i'm soo close
I opened it and it wasn't the same as the one on Here . the person never responded back; lol I guess only certain ppl he'll respond back to.. But DO NOT OPEN IT IF ITS A U-SHAPE THERES NO THERMOSTAT IN THIS BRAND. I brought a newer model... 🤞👌
Where is the thermal switch to reset on this machine?
How do you reset this one?
Where would the thermostat reset button be?
I’ve tried to descale mine but it’s not doing it.. what else can i do?can
check out this video ruclips.net/video/HukPs5Vkf1E/видео.html
Okay but wheres the thermal switch for this one? Cant find it anywhere.
Any idea how to access and remove the handle?
as far as I have tried it can not be removed
Where is the reset thermal breaker on this particular model. All your other videos have a reset breaker on sometimes that looks similar to a screw but this model doesn't have that
This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact ruclips.net/user/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.
What if no water is coming thru?
My lights on the Keurig won’t turn on at all anymore. Could it be the ribbon ? Everything else looks fine ?
Could it also be because the descale light was on and I never descaled it , so it just stopped working ?
That could be, Have you tried to put it into descale mode?
Keurig has changed the way you descale your coffee maker. You have to put the machine in descale mode and follow it all the way through to get the descale light to go out.
step by step instructions see below. You have to follow them all the way through.
I hope this helps. put the descale solution in the tank. You have to put the machine in descale mode. First leave the machine plugged in, then turn the power button off.

All these makers I’ve seen taken apart and none of them have mold and gunk inside like everyone has claimed.
Sadly, older Keurigs make such better coffee. The newer units like this no longer have a water heater tank but instead rely on a "hot pipe" (tube with heating element wrapped around it) that water is pumped through as the coffee is brewed. At the end of every cycle, when the pump shuts off, as the water stops flowing, the remaining water in the pipe turns to steam and shoots into the K-cup scorching the grounds and putting a squirt of bitter coffee into you cup. This is not possible with the older units that can only deliver water at the correct temperature from their tank.
My brew button won’t work on mine and can’t seem to figure that out. It was working but not anymore.
is it the k slim or k Supreme with 5 needles on top?
@@JustADad K supreme with 5 needles
Mines just stopped working, didn't turn on anymore smh
I'm trying to find the reset button I saw in another video..
the orginal k slims with only one needle on top do not have a reset button,
@Just A Dad Videos I bought it last April, do u mean inside the pod compartment? This one has 2 needles. I pushed a wire into a hole I found , very hard to reach..the power is working now but it shuts off after about 5 secs
@@okgirl64 do you have 5 needles for the top of the kcup and one for the bottom if so they you should have a reset, if it powers down after a reset then I would call Keurig, it sounds like the mother board is bad.
@@JustADad thanks , I did call them, and they are sending me another one! So that's nice. It's under a year old
While I was descaling, the water level dropped..and it quit
see this video if it has 5 needles on top ruclips.net/video/UfuYrtctAp0/видео.html
for me, it was a fail. Couldn't do it without breaking the shit out of it.
It's an awful process. I am attempting it now and about to just throw it in the trash.
This model is a piece of junk, mine won't detect fhe lid closure after less than a year, I tried opening it but there's so much plastic that I ended up throwing it out, I don't have time to deal with it.
