    Where was this video 2 years ago? I used Kuerig for years, got 2 years tops out of them and tossed them for this very reason. I even purchased the office grade unit, same problem. Finally bought a Cuisinart, never looked back, have had mine 3 years, works as good as the day I bought it. Getting to the point, this is fantastic info, thanks for posting, this will help save many people money, this is why I continue to watch you tube. There are many clever people out there, and you are one of them.

    I can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge on how you fixed your non working Keurig coffee maker. I was on the brink of throwing mine away but went to RUclips, once again and there you were showing what you did to yours. I did the exact thing and now mine works perfect. You are very innovative and once again thanks for helping so many by sharing your knowledge.

    Thank you so much, sir! I had my Keurig sitting by the door to go to the trash. I figured it was 12 years old, it was time for another one. I did go get an “emergency” cheap drip coffee maker from Walmart (this happened in the middle of the week when I didn’t have time to think about it, and I can’t go one day without coffee!) but YUCK!, I guess I am spoiled on Keurig coffee. I thought, what the heck, I’ll Google and see if this is a common problem and could it be fixed. Found your video, tried it, and Wala, it’s fixed! You saved me a lot of money and saved the landfill from one more Keurig sitting in it! Thank you!!

    This is my second Keurig Coffee Brewer. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first one lasted 6 years. It worked beautifully until the day it didn't. It was hard to go back to the drip coffee for a couple of days while I waited on my Keurig to get here. There is a huge difference in the taste. Keurig makes a really good cup of coffee. This new one is a little different from my old one. I find putting the water filter in was easier than on the old one. Attaching the water reservoir was also a little different but once I figured it out, it too was easier. This new one has the auto off feature but is not programmable like the old one. Only three cup sizes instead of four. The odd thing for me was how much lighter in weight this one is compared to my old one. More plastic and much less metal in the construction of this one. The price is so much less than the original Keurig that I bought and the coffee tastes the same so all in all I am satisfied.

    I retrieve the same coffee machine from my grandson’s room, when he moved out of my ex-wife‘s house. It had sat on the shelf for at least two years I replace the water tank and almost threw the machine out when it wasn’t working. While my wife was doing a return on Amazon. I looked in my iPad at your video. I gave it a try and lo and behold it worked. Thanks for saving me a few bucks on replacing the coffee maker.

    A friend had a keurig and it quit working. He destroyed it taking it apart but found what he thought was black bugs in the hose between the tanks. I was about to tear mine apart but thought I'd check youtube first. I tried the toothbrush trick and it's working perfect again. It pumps water for 10 or 15 seconds now when before it took about 2 minutes to pump water into the internal tank. Last year I called keurig about it and they said to descale it. I told her I used distilled water and she said in that case no I didn't need to descale it. THANK YOU very much Journeyman!!!

    Thank you so much for this simple solution. I noticed that sometimes removing the tank and putting it back helped but did not check the valve and spring. Of course descaling sometimes helps too but for now this is my problem. I am amazed how people taking "time" of their schedules to post videos helps us all.

    • @Journeyman-Fixit
      @Journeyman-Fixit  Год назад +2

  • @OldSchoolHacker
    @OldSchoolHacker 6 лет назад +21

    Thanks for sharing this information. It fixed the issue with my Keurig and definitely saved me the time and frustration associated with tearing it down and possibly never getting it back together. I noticed a number of other commenters saying that they were close to throwing their coffee maker away and replacing it with another. Considering that Keurig is the market leader by a wide margin in the single pod coffee business, they are HOPING that we will chuck our failing makers and pop for another one made by Keurig. I've only used mine for six months and the fact that the valve was clogging up indicates to me that it is a design failure.
    Your discovery and generous attitude in sharing it here is greatly appreciated but if my Keurig quits working again and I can't easily remedy the issue, I'm quitting the pod life.

    • @Journeyman-Fixit

      I hear you Steve, I fix things because over the years it adds up to countless dollars of budget savings for my hard-working family. I have old things that are still working because they are made out of more superior materials. I remember years ago the old percolator coffee pot and loved the smell of the coffee (and it really woke me up when I needed the caffeine), it might be time to go back to that. Thanks for the feedback, knowing I may have helped save someone else frustration made my day!

    FOLKS, don't use soap to descale your machines! Always use vinegar and run it through multiple times. Just a few cups. After that, fill the entire vessel with only water and run that through the machine. Do this at least twice a year if you're a daily user of these machines.

    Right in the middle of descaling, filling the cups until the blue light comes on, and my Keurig quits pumping. I had cleaned the piercer with a paper clip to no avail, I took the top cover off and cleaned the check valve and it ran one cup and quit. Finally I found this posting and cleaned the outlet on the bottom of the reservoir. Afterward I was able to finish the descaling and flushed out the tank. The Keurig works great now, no excessive noise trying to pump water and it works much faster. Thanks Journeyman.

    I own the single cup Keurig, the water tank being only 1 inch high, with some dark residue on the inside of the tank over the small wire mesh filter. It was pumping slow, leaving about 1/8 inch of water still in the tank, then nothing. Had to lift the handle again and drop it to complete the process, then the whole cup came out. I flushed the inside with hot water (no soap) and also used the brush by hand for a few minutes on the inside, a little on the bottom ejection. Poured another cup of water into the tank and watched it pump faster with a full cup. Many thanks sir for your help.

    Thanks for taking the time to show this fix! Similar to you, I was getting gradually smaller cups of coffee and then no pumping at all.

    This worked for our Keurig-K Duo. All the lights were lit solid ... nothing was happening. Unplugging for "a few hours" did nothing (an actual recommendation) and cleaning every piece and crevice did nothing. I treated the valve in the water reservoir -- exactly as shown in this video AND everything works! Thank you for taking the time to share this!

    Thank you so much for posting that video. I just started having that problem yesterday and this morning it was much worse. Now its fine.
    I just used an old manual toothbrush for about a minute and then depressed the valve and held it under hot running tap water for another minute .
    its good to know I can fix it when it happens again.
    Also, its really an outrage that Keurig doesn't describe this fix. I had another unit some years ago and wound up trashing when this happened.

    We have a Cuisinart SS-10 Premium Single Serve unit that has a filter in it. But I can see and have read that "that" particular water inlet valve has caused problems - even on my unit. We also use filtered water (used to store it in the refrigerator but not anymore) to keep the reservoir filled. When I change the water filter (it's a Pur water pitcher) I also clean the coffee maker.

      It seems these machines work OK for a while and then after about two years (in our experience) we started to have issues. My Wife descaled the unit we had following the manual's instructions as many as six times to no avail whatsoever. I discovered the little valve (circular spring) gets black mildew buildup kind of like something you would see in a wet area (like a bathroom shower or bathtub). Glad you to hear you are up and running again! ☺
