If anyone wants to start a class action law suit against Keurig for the emotional distress this coffee machine has caused humannity I will gladly join.
@@CharismaFarrowyup exactly same for me...de scale light never ever went off even after de scaling lol smh....and now ...im looking up this damn vid bc it won't power on....I don't wanna do all this work 😑
Thanks very much!!! This totally works for realzzzz !! Thanks man I was in middle of descaling and it quit pressed that button with cover off and bang! Works perfect
Just A Dad : I do like your Keugig videos ! However, I've found that to reassemble the cover it is easier to remove the back piece and the top piece. Then for reassembly: reattach the large front cover and fasten the 2 side screws. Next, slide the top in place, then, replace the back and fasten the last screw. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you so much for teaching us ..I'm just so frustrated with these machines..every time I purchase one they brake ...thank you though I appreciate you
BTW - If the manufacturer [Keurig] was concerned about it purchasers, they would put a reset but on the outside of the machine to easily be used by anyone.
For anyone else doing this, a few tips not mentioned. 1) Tabs are under the removable tray, if you pry those 2 up, you can lift up the whole thing pretty easily, the rest will snap off. 2) Pull the sides of the plastic cover wider, it slides right over the top 3) When putting it back together, just snap the back and top pieces off so you can just snap on the Sides, then slide the top part back in, then snap the back portion back on. A lot easier to reassemble that way. The cover is actually 3 pieces.
One more: you don't have to completely remove the whole case. I was able to reset the thermostat by lifting up the case about 3/4 of the way and this made it easier to slide back down.
Thanks for the tutorial. People shouldn't have to do all of this for the price of this machine. Keurig needs to go back to the drawing board and stop selling it if it's faulty.
Totally agree! These Keurig machines have always had design problems from the very start. I have owned 4 different types ( all with problems). The design before this last one, seemed to have lasted the longest. I should have kept it and not upgraded to the Supreme. The new descale “mode” is faulty.
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.
Thanks you for these instructions. I repaired by K-Supreme following your directions and was able to correct my problem, and I could not have done it, nor attempted it without your video.
Thanks man! Prior to watch this video I called Keurig and they told me my brewer was not in warranty and they tried to make me buy a new one! I fixed mine thanks to this video! God Bless you!
Same exact message. Am I Brewer literally had brood less than probably 25 cups of coffee total. I was pissed when they told me they were going to offer me 10% off a new Keurig. I was like if this one failed and all you'll do for a warranty is 10% off a new one, why should I buy a new one.
I was literally a day from throwing this thing away after fighting with Keurig on the phone for 2 days to warranty a brewer that I literally had less than 25 brews on. This unit was bought for my camper, and we just didn't camp much that season and by the time I brought it to the house to start using it at the house it started to fail immediately. I'm thrilled that you've provided insight to restore the use of the coffee maker, but I'm still pissed that keurig's position on this particular unit, which is clearly having failure problems at a large rate, almost like planned obsolescence so that we'll have to go buy new Brewers, tells me that they're less than a reputable company and I do need to find a long-term replacement to Keurig. From a customer service and customer experience standpoint they suck.
You sir are a God blessing. I was already shopping for a new one when I decided to look a little deeper into what would be wrong. Your video was right on the spot. Mine is the stainless steel model so the cover comes out a little differently but once I figure it out it was all good. Pushed the button and voila, back to brewing. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It is very sad how manufacturers seem to be making things for us just to spend more $ on them. What a waste would have been if I had tossed it and bought a new one. THANK YOU!
This saved me from pitching the 4th one in a year...I was visiting my daughter when this failed and my wife thought she was to blame. I went to replace it but unfortunately there were none available... I found this video and decided to try it and here I am writing a review!! It seems Kerrigan has already replaced this twice under warranty and did not require a return...that means the land fill has 2 perfectly repairable units because Kerrigan is too lazy to recall or document the fix... I am going to drill an access hole and cover with a grommet as the cover removal is a PITA!!
@@patmahone7095 Great idea. Hope it worked for you. Keurig has to know of the frequent need to reset the thermostat. They could design them to enable us to reset without removing the cover. I think they decided they would rather make money from us buying a replacement.
After getting the shell off changes my view of how it heats up the water, pretty cool actually I had a idea how the water gets heated up as it come out. Awesome video!! 👍🏻💕
Guess what? I have this same exact coffeemaker, and followed your directions, and BOOM - FIXED! Couldn't have done it without your video. Thanks so much.
Thank you! You just saved us 115$ 😊 -Instead of the flat screwdriver, I use a small trowel or paint tool to avoid doing dents in the plastic. -Also, since I was struggling to put back the housing in place, I dismantled it, and it was easy to put all pieces one by one. Again, thank you, because it’s much easier to do once you see a video. 💎💎💎💎💎
Suggestion just drill a hole that's adequate size to see this will be easy if you pop the top cover off and use a light to view you may be able to drill your access Holes without taking the machine apart. Just use a drill stop. Then push a paperclip in so you can reset the thermostat you could drill two small holes one of viewing hole and one accessible. This would make the process a whole lot easier. Maybe drill too small holes so you don't have to pop the top cover off you can view in one hole and access the thermostat with the paper clip in the other. You can always put a rubber plug in the hole or holes if you don't want to look at them. My thoughts and suggestion! George W PS A after thought. All the company would have had to do was to circuit to the thermostat when the add water light comes on to disable it. I mean they have a water sensor! Actually it wouldn't be hard to add one! Thank you for giving hindsight in the situation with the thermostat and taking the unit apart!
I just finished following these instructions in order to repair our K-Supreme. As well detailed as this tutorial was I found the overtemperature thermostat and reset it with a paperclip. The issue for me is that numerous people have complained about this very same problem with these Keurig machines so it is obviously a design flaw on the part of Keurig. I am not so naive to think that Keurig would actually admit anything wrong on their part and address this situation as they rightly should. Since this issue is likely to turn up again and the thermostat is placed so that it somewhat difficult to get to I wish there was some way to remotely reset the thermostat from outside the case so I do not have to perform open Keurig surgery each time this happens. The only possible solution would be to remove some of the internal plastic framework as well as drill a noticeable hole (=> 1/4") to allow a paperclip pointed rod to reach the thermostat. Probably not worth the labor. Thanks to Just A Dad Videos for this YT instructional. It saved the day. 👍👍
Jeremy Stoneberger the same thing happened to me! Free one under one year warranty on its way next week. They've already sent me the tracking info. Smh though that's ridiculous they tell you to descale it knowing it has such a design flaw!
In case anyone was wondering, I did receive my free K Supreme brewer from Keurig under warranty about a week and a half ago. They did not even want me to send them my old one. Also another plus is the new machine they sent me has a free one year warranty with it. Didn't cost me a dime! I thought I got a good deal for the price I paid for my 1st K Supreme, now I feel I got an unbelievable deal since I got two brewers for that price!
Our 5 months old K-SLIM coffe maker didnt power on after we use the clining kit we got from Amazon. My doughter doubt it i could fixed, then i cross with your video and boom, done, i did fixed in 15min. Hard to take it a part (not dificult, just easy to not brake tabs) reset and now work as a champ again. Thank you again for you step by step video save me $$ puls helped my Ego🤣🤣
Man i had this same issue on my first K-Supreme plus, but thankfully the machine was under warranty and keurig sent me an new one. But i'm saving this video for sure just in case if my current one ever dies like that again. Once again keep up the great content.
Thank you for this! It was almost a bad start to 2022, but your instructions saved the day and the start of the new year in this heavy coffee / hot chocolate drinking household. The hardest part was removing the cover and putting it back (you just have to have the stomach and patience for it LOL). Thank you again, Sir. Happy New Year!
I am livid only had mine for a little over a year descaled and took good care of my machine now doesn't work turned on to make a cup of coffee and started smelling like burning wires and shut off then I unplugged and left sitting there ...replaced in nothing...shame on you keurig we all work hard for our money saved to buy this and never again will I buy your products
Best video I have watched in years. My wife hates me, I just made her a cup of coffee after fixing the keurig following your tutorial and she said thank you. God bless you brother
Thank you so much for the video. My machine now powers on but I am having a new issue. The "ADD WATER" light will not stop blinking. I have tried cleaning the reservoir and adding in water when it's off or on etc and nothing works. Do you have any suggestions?? I would appreciate it.
thank you for saving our keurig! the thermostat got tripped by descaling but the reset fixed it like a charm and the best part is the descaling light is STILL on after all that
How to do the fix in 5 min : Use a 6” or longer metal pick tool. Basically it is a thin metal rod with a 1/2” 90 bend on one end that ends in a point. All you have to do is pry off the top and then reach down from the top with your tool and press the reset button. You will need a flashlight to see in there and it might take you a couple minutes to find the reset. Of course make sure it is unplugged from power or you could die. Seriously. You could shock yourself so don’t be dumb. If your unit keeps tripping stop using it as it is defective
Thermostats for coffee makers are supposed to close again when the temp goes back down so the thermostat is faulty and only that needs to be replaced once you see that it sticks open again after a manual reset.
Thank you so much, I did it all by myself and it worked! Keurig definitely needs to make these better - my first one lasted probably 7 years. This one only went a little over a year (out of warranty of course!). I appreciate your step-by-step easy instructions!
Well, it worked, and I was jumping up and down in my kitchen like a hysterical Price is Right contestant! I can't thank you enough!! Descaling is a tricky process, but I'll never ever again allow the machine to be completely without water when running it in descale mode. I learned my lesson. It's in big red letters on my instructions. It was actually kind of fun taking the machine apart. I thought it's either going to work or not going to work, but I'm so glad it worked!! Many thanks!!
Dad’s make the most amazing repairs daily and rarely get enough credit for it. Thanks for helping make my Keurig work again. They have sent me two new machines now because of this problem. Now I have the secret weapon to fix them myself. You are a Rock Star!
So angry that i try to do the maintenance as described on their descaling kit and NO warning on overheating - there should be a huge thing in red at the top - I just got this 3 months ago!! Thank you for posting!!! After a couple tries at poking the middle item (I didn't have any electric monitors hooked up to it like you) and plugging it in, it fixed it!
Thank you!!! I fixed my Keurig (3 months old) because of this video, then set to high altitude (mountains in Mexico), and then descaled!!!! Fantastic videos.
Awesome instructions. Luckily it reset for us. Thank you immensely, you started 2022 happily for us keurig/coffee lovers. You have a Happy New Year, too!
Takes too much effort. Not everyone is skilled to fix something like that. I just bought another one from Walmart and switched the broken one with the new one in the parking lot and returned it. Warranty services has a 1 year manufacture warranty but it takes too long to get a new one.
Nice instructions. Suggestions to make this a little easier: 1. don’t remove the 3 screws on the bottom then the base won’t separate from the inner workings 2. Remove the back first 3. Remove the top by sliding it back 4. Remove the side last 5. Reverse to reinstall Thanks for a great tutorial!
I ended up disconnecting the sides when I reinstalled the cover. Made it a bit easier. How would you get the sides to unclip from the back to disassemble? I think prying it might break those clips. My wife ran it without the water and that's what popped the thermostat. If she keeps doing that, I might have to drill a small hole so I can reach that reset without taking off the side :)
I followed your instructions and the sides have to be unscrewed. I broke the plastic going up the side after really struggling to remove the plastic, had I unscrewed it they would've popped right off.
I love you. Thank you for your informative video. My husband and I can do this. We don't have a reader but we have all the other items. My new Keurig is dead. I had to run to the corner to get hot coffee, so this is much appreciated.
Thank you for the detailed instructions. I was able to follow along exactly as you described and now I have a working coffee maker again! This is precisely the information I needed - Thank you!
I have never made a comment on RUclips before but I cannot thank you enough for your detailed instructions. It went exactly as described.This is the second time I descaled a Keurig supreme and it shut off both times. For the amount of money I spend on K pods, Keurig should be sending me a new one once a month. Many thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for the nice words. Next time when you do you descale maybe let it cool down when you run the descale solution through it before you start the fresh water rinses let it sit for about 20 min. then finish the it. it should stay in descale mode during this time.
@Joe Leary same thing happened to me! My machine shut off at end of descale during rinse cycle. I wonder why Keurig recommends such a taxing descale method of its been proven to cause the thermostat to overheat & trip itself to prevent fire or further damage. *Good news in my situation is that Keurig is sending me a brand new K Supreme free of charge due to mine being under 1 year warranty... And the Kicker is they told me I could keep mine, she said to either throw it away or recycle it. Lol, yeah right now that I know what's wrong with it I'll be fixing that puppy tomorrow so I can still drink coffee until my new machine gets here next week!
THANK YOU!!!! It took 30 minutes to get it apart but i'm BACK in business!!! Woot!!This was absolutely a blessing to me. Saved me a bunch of money too. Thank you!
I'm an HVAC technical support and am impressed! I'll be fixing mine shortly. I was descaling and mistakenly pressed the brew without the water tank connected and it tripped then. I assumed the low water sensor would have prevented it. Perhaps that is bypassed during descaling in order to drain more solution.
My thermostat tripped, I am now certain, after attempting to brew a cup without the water reservoir in place. So if the low water sensor doesn't function without the reservoir attached, it's not limited to descaling only. After watching some of these take-apart videos, I'm surprised that Keurig doesn't have some sort of lockout to prevent brewing in the absence of a reservoir.
Exactly the same here. Descaled, got to the end of the second water tank full, and the descale light stayed on even once the water was out. Hit it one last time and it ran dry, tripped the sensor. Poor design for sure.
I just did it to reset the thermostat. It worked when I put it back together and I'm drinking a cup of Joe right now. But I did crack 2 plastic slot clips in the process of trying to release them. The machine holds and is working, but as was stated be extra careful releasing & removing the lid because honestly they are hard plastic and as I found out, not all are snap in!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! Mine had just run out of the warranty period and of course Keurig would do nothing but offer 20% off for another one of their junk coffee makers to which I told them no thank you. You have saved the day and given me coffee while I research other brands that will hopefully be better than this! Thanks again!!
Thank you, you just saved my morning! Once I reset it, it worked like brand new. You just saved me $100 plus! Thank you for posting video to help others out.
Hey buddy, I did what you did in the video and it freaking worked!! Awesome 😂😂 except on the newer models when you take off the 1 piece plastic it now comes apart into 3 pieces. Front top and back. I know it fell apart on me. It's back together and working Kool thank you
I understand why it happens during descaling - it ignores the water sensor and tries to brew a preset number of cups. It doesn't stop when the reservoir is empty, and thus boils dry the heating tube and trips the thermal breaker. The directions in the brochure and cleaning bottle say to add a bottle of their cleaning solution and an equal amount of water before you start the descaling cycle. This is not enough. Other directions state to fill it to the max fill line - this is needed. Of course then the cleaning solution is too dilute. If it runs empty during the cycle, ADD MORE WATER ASAP. Can't believe the breaker isn't self resetting? Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for all your time and effort that you put into your videos! You mentioned a pump needed replaced in the second unit you showed, or even the thermostat in the first unit....where are you getting your parts? Keurig is no help when I've called them and the local appliance parts store has no access for any parts except the descale kits, water chambers, filters etc. Ive seen folks on Ebay have broken machine's that they sell for $50+++ for parts but thats a real hit or miss. Thanks in advance for your time!
Not sure where to get parts. eBay would be my first thought if someone is parting out a Keurig. Sorry I will keep my eyes open Thanks for your kind words!!!
@@JustADad Thanks for your reply, I thought from the post you had found a source for parts/pumps. This is one of many on going problems that this co has had for too many years... If it don't work, and its not under warranty, its junk/trash! Throw it in the landfill!!! Want to buy another one? and the beat goes on. I appreciate the convenience of the product but......... As always you do a great job and I truly appreciate you channel! I do enjoy it!Have a blessed Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas sir!
Thank you!!!! so much thanks!!! I had my Keurig thermostat trip when doing a descale and this saved me! PLEASE READ TIP!!!!!! Watch the wiring when you put the case back on as the first time I did this I accidently unplugged the water level sensor and a cable moved that I almost screwed into. What I suggest is to take the case apart ( it comes apart into the front/sides panel. the back panel, and the upper panel). Wrap the front/side panel into place, slide in the upper panel, then snap on the back panel. you wont have to worry about sliding everything down in one piece
Thank you Just a Dad! You are wonderful, I just fixed my keurig thanks to your instructions I can take my keurig back to Mexico and enjoy my coffee when I vacation there, I had lost hope as no one knew how to repair it and the store wasn't going to exchange it because their 30 day return policy, God bless! Please don't stop making this kind of ideas and helping people this way.
We should have a CLASS ACTION lawsuit against Keurig for their planned obsolescence thermostat that is due to die if you descale the unit. I had this unit just over a year and when I called for help, all they would do was offer me a replacement. First for 20% off but when i complained they came down to 50% off. Again, too much money since this unit has been pampered and taken care of. Just A DAD helped me to remove the cover, I used a gem clip (some people call them paper clips) and voila, it's working again. Keurig is taking advantage of the consumer.
Thanks for a great video. I have never seen so many complaints over a product. After a "descale," my Keurig went dead like so many others I had read about in the reviews. I took my ?SUPREME? (now there is a misnomer) apart before watching the video thinking there must be a simple breaker on the board. I found what I assumed was the thermal breaker and found there was no continuity between the two wires. I did not realize that it could be reset so easily. I'm considering cutting a hole in the side of the unit because I am sure this will happen again. Thanks again
Thank you for your videos. I have a KS+ but watched this video first to learn how to dissameble then just watched your other video relating to the KS+..Your videos are very easy to understand. Thank you very much and God Bless😄
Thank you for the tutorial! We only used ours for 3 weeks and it pooped out this morning. I was able to do everything in about 15 min maybe less. If you pop the back panel off with a flat head it's alot easier to get the case off BTW. I just popped off the case and hit the reset with a paper clip and it worked.
Thank you so much. I was ready to go buy a new machine. My keurig also would not turn on after descaling. Unplugged, cooled, ....nothing. The hardest was getting that stupid cover off and then back on, but I did, reset and it works!!!!
Thanks for these excellent instructions. I repaired my machine in less than 30 minutes. Must ensure machine is unplugged and using a little elbow grease you are good to go. I believe what caused the problem is I removed the water tank while the coffee was brewing. Big no no cause I believe that is what shut down the heater switch.
Mine would power on, I would select what or how many clips I want, then I press the brew button but 2 seconds later it shuts off. This also includes the descale mode. What’s wrong with my coffee maker?
Oh my goodness I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have come across your video!! I left my Keurig abandoned for about a year bc I thought it was dead but after watching this video & fixing it like you said, it is up & running again just like new! Thank you so so much 🙏🏻
Thank you! I have the smart version and it was a bit different to take apart, but your solution worked and I'm enjoying some coffee right now! A big bonus too is just that feeling of satisfaction and pride having fixed it yourself.
This is my 3rd Keurig that just stopped working/no power. They are built like crap. I appreciate your efforts here and its a very good video but honestly just throw the thing in the trash and get yourself a regular ol coffee brewer. The coffee is much better & it's far cheaper anyway.
I can’t believe it actually worked. Following your instructions, which were spot on, I did the paper clip reset and BINGO, I’m back in the brewing business. Thanks so much for taking the time to put up this video. It has obviously helped many people fix their broken Keurigs.
Thanks for this very helpful video. I offer the following tip for reassembly. To reinstall the outer case/cover, it is much easier if you disassemble the case into 3 pieces: 1) the curved front with the left & right sides, 2) rear panel, and 3) top panel. This can be done easily by reaching inside the assembly from the bottom (after removal from the main unit) and releasing the tabs holding the rear panel to the side panels, and the single clip between the rear panel and top panel. The top panel (3) will then just slide out from the front & side assembly (2). Then you can easily install the curved front with left/right sides onto the base without having to work around the top handle. Next slide the top cover (2) into place from the rear. Then insert the rear panel (3) into the base, bottom first, and its sides will easily click into place as you apply pressure to bring the top edge of the rear panel towards the top panel. Sorry for the long description, but it's the best I can do without posting a video myself. I see more than one post below with a similar suggestion - I repeat it here, because it's really a worthwhile point to include in a future video!
Yes this works but all those plastic clips and panels are not meant to stand up to repeated disassembly. I have about a 50% success rate descaling this machine. Very annoying product with a design defect. I would not recommend it to anyone.
Thanks for the heads up, the challenge that I faced was putting it back together having all the plastic clips fall into place, but other than that this was spot on and you’re going places. Thanks for your help, and your kindness
Major challenge for me also. After several tries getting it on as one piece, I unclipped the top and back as one piece and attached that after getting the front portion in place and clipped in. Top and back clipped on last with no issues at all. Worked perfectly. That’s the only way I’ll reassemble it going forward.
This is a great video. I did everything, plugged it in and had power but the second I pushed the button to start the brew it started smoking so I pulled the plug from the wall. I just realized as I as typing this that when I first pressed the button I that I forgot to put the water tank back in, so I'm sure it tripped again from that. I'll try again in a while to see. If they weren't SO expensive I might not try again. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. This was just what I needed. Reset the thermostat and all is good! During the process I discovered why the later models come apart in sections. Mine did this all on its own. While I was trying to work it over the handle. Which of course made the reassembly process much easier. Thanks again!
Thanks for the video. You saved me $100+ since the Wife was ready to go buy a new one. Wondering if someone has drilled a small hole in the shell to reset it without having to disassemble it.
Actually, here's a tip to make pulling the cover easier: The back part of the cover is just clipped on, running a small spudger (like from a cell phone tool kit) or a pick along the seams on each side will separate it from the front part - do this AFTER releasing the 6 tabs on the bottom and moving the whole cover up. It makes it a lot easier than trying to slip the whole cover over the top of the machine.
Hi, I appreciate your video but that’s not the problem with my unit. I was wondering if you have made a video on adjusting the lid it’s misaligned and it doesn’t press down on the coffee pod and so it comes on top of pod and the bottom unevenly and the coffee doesn’t taste good it’s too weak I was wondering do you know of a video to help this problem .
Thank you for the video. After descaling our 3 month old unit, it would not power back on. I followed your video, disassembled, reset the thermostat, and it powered back up. After reassembly, our unit is working. Keurig either needs to upgrade thermostat and/or have the reset button on the outside of the unit rather than have to disassemble for reset access. Ours is the stainless steel cover so the disassembling was slightly different.
Excellent tutorial! It was so helpful mentioning the sections that may be hard to remove. I would have given up, worrying I may break the unit. My mom's Keurig is finally working again. We both thank you!
Just want to say thank you so much for your video! I’m horrible at fixing things but because of your video I was able to fix the problem. If you are anything like me coffee is life so a machine that wasn’t working is just heartbreaking lol Thanks so much! 👍🏻👍🏻

@@CharismaFarrowyup exactly same for me...de scale light never ever went off even after de scaling lol smh....and now ...im looking up this damn vid bc it won't power on....I don't wanna do all this work 😑
Agreed
Stupid manufactured’ why we should go through all this to reset it should make it more reliable to reach to it . 😢
Thanks very much!!! This totally works for realzzzz !! Thanks man
I was in middle of descaling and it quit pressed that button with cover off and bang! Works perfect
Just A Dad : I do like your Keugig videos ! However, I've found that to reassemble the cover it is easier to remove the back piece and the top piece. Then for reassembly: reattach the large front cover and fasten the 2 side screws. Next, slide the top in place, then, replace the back and fasten the last screw. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you so much for teaching us ..I'm just so frustrated with these machines..every time I purchase one they brake ...thank you though I appreciate you
Your so welcome!!
What is your favorite Coffee?
Great tutorial!! We fixed our Keurig!! Thank you!!
You're welcome!
BTW - If the manufacturer [Keurig] was concerned about it purchasers, they would put a reset but on the outside of the machine to easily be used by anyone.
reset but
Where's the fun in that?
For anyone else doing this, a few tips not mentioned. 1) Tabs are under the removable tray, if you pry those 2 up, you can lift up the whole thing pretty easily, the rest will snap off. 2) Pull the sides of the plastic cover wider, it slides right over the top 3) When putting it back together, just snap the back and top pieces off so you can just snap on the Sides, then slide the top part back in, then snap the back portion back on. A lot easier to reassemble that way. The cover is actually 3 pieces.
One more: you don't have to completely remove the whole case. I was able to reset the thermostat by lifting up the case about 3/4 of the way and this made it easier to slide back down.
Thanks for the tutorial. People shouldn't have to do all of this for the price of this machine. Keurig needs to go back to the drawing board and stop selling it if it's faulty.
Thanks for watching!
Well said Trina
Agreed.
Totally agree! These Keurig machines have always had design problems from the very start. I have owned 4 different types ( all with problems). The design before this last one, seemed to have lasted the longest. I should have kept it and not upgraded to the Supreme. The new descale “mode” is faulty.
@@Andygirl59 yeah I agree 100%
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.
Thanks you for these instructions. I repaired by K-Supreme following your directions and was able to correct my problem, and I could not have done it, nor attempted it without your video.
You're welcome! Good job fixing your coffee maker!!!!
What is your favorite Coffee?
Thanks man! Prior to watch this video I called Keurig and they told me my brewer was not in warranty and they tried to make me buy a new one! I fixed mine thanks to this video! God Bless you!
Great to hear!
Same exact message. Am I Brewer literally had brood less than probably 25 cups of coffee total. I was pissed when they told me they were going to offer me 10% off a new Keurig. I was like if this one failed and all you'll do for a warranty is 10% off a new one, why should I buy a new one.
I was literally a day from throwing this thing away after fighting with Keurig on the phone for 2 days to warranty a brewer that I literally had less than 25 brews on. This unit was bought for my camper, and we just didn't camp much that season and by the time I brought it to the house to start using it at the house it started to fail immediately. I'm thrilled that you've provided insight to restore the use of the coffee maker, but I'm still pissed that keurig's position on this particular unit, which is clearly having failure problems at a large rate, almost like planned obsolescence so that we'll have to go buy new Brewers, tells me that they're less than a reputable company and I do need to find a long-term replacement to Keurig. From a customer service and customer experience standpoint they suck.
You sir are a God blessing. I was already shopping for a new one when I decided to look a little deeper into what would be wrong. Your video was right on the spot. Mine is the stainless steel model so the cover comes out a little differently but once I figure it out it was all good. Pushed the button and voila, back to brewing.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
It is very sad how manufacturers seem to be making things for us just to spend more $ on them. What a waste would have been if I had tossed it and bought a new one.
THANK YOU!
Glad it helped!!!
This saved me from pitching the 4th one in a year...I was visiting my daughter when this failed and my wife thought she was to blame. I went to replace it but unfortunately there were none available... I found this video and decided to try it and here I am writing a review!! It seems Kerrigan has already replaced this twice under warranty and did not require a return...that means the land fill has 2 perfectly repairable units because Kerrigan is too lazy to recall or document the fix... I am going to drill an access hole and cover with a grommet as the cover removal is a PITA!!
@@patmahone7095 Great idea. Hope it worked for you. Keurig has to know of the frequent need to reset the thermostat. They could design them to enable us to reset without removing the cover. I think they decided they would rather make money from us buying a replacement.
After getting the shell off changes my view of how it heats up the water, pretty cool actually I had a idea how the water gets heated up as it come out. Awesome video!! 👍🏻💕
Guess what? I have this same exact coffeemaker, and followed your directions, and BOOM - FIXED! Couldn't have done it without your video. Thanks so much.
Fantastic!
Thank you!
You just saved us 115$ 😊
-Instead of the flat screwdriver, I use a small trowel or paint tool to avoid doing dents in the plastic.
-Also, since I was struggling to put back the housing in place, I dismantled it, and it was easy to put all pieces one by one.
Again, thank you, because it’s much easier to do once you see a video. 💎💎💎💎💎
Suggestion just drill a hole that's adequate size to see this will be easy if you pop the top cover off and use a light to view you may be able to drill your access Holes without taking the machine apart. Just use a drill stop. Then push a paperclip in so you can reset the thermostat you could drill two small holes one of viewing hole and one accessible. This would make the process a whole lot easier. Maybe drill too small holes so you don't have to pop the top cover off you can view in one hole and access the thermostat with the paper clip in the other. You can always put a rubber plug in the hole or holes if you don't want to look at them. My thoughts and suggestion! George W
PS A after thought. All the company would have had to do was to circuit to the thermostat when the add water light comes on to disable it. I mean they have a water sensor! Actually it wouldn't be hard to add one! Thank you for giving hindsight in the situation with the thermostat and taking the unit apart!
I hope you never get tired of people thanking you because THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! You're a life saver!
I just finished following these instructions in order to repair our K-Supreme. As well detailed as this tutorial was I found the overtemperature thermostat and reset it with a paperclip. The issue for me is that numerous people have complained about this very same problem with these Keurig machines so it is obviously a design flaw on the part of Keurig. I am not so naive to think that Keurig would actually admit anything wrong on their part and address this situation as they rightly should. Since this issue is likely to turn up again and the thermostat is placed so that it somewhat difficult to get to I wish there was some way to remotely reset the thermostat from outside the case so I do not have to perform open Keurig surgery each time this happens. The only possible solution would be to remove some of the internal plastic framework as well as drill a noticeable hole (=> 1/4") to allow a paperclip pointed rod to reach the thermostat. Probably not worth the labor. Thanks to Just A Dad Videos for this YT instructional. It saved the day. 👍👍
Your welcome glad it helped!!
Yeah I’m about to call keurig for my 4 or 5 replacement so far. Still under warranty and always happens after descaling.
It's so frustrating that they brake like this ....this happened to me also with them continuously breaking .
Jeremy Stoneberger the same thing happened to me! Free one under one year warranty on its way next week. They've already sent me the tracking info. Smh though that's ridiculous they tell you to descale it knowing it has such a design flaw!
In case anyone was wondering, I did receive my free K Supreme brewer from Keurig under warranty about a week and a half ago. They did not even want me to send them my old one. Also another plus is the new machine they sent me has a free one year warranty with it. Didn't cost me a dime! I thought I got a good deal for the price I paid for my 1st K Supreme, now I feel I got an unbelievable deal since I got two brewers for that price!
Our 5 months old K-SLIM coffe maker didnt power on after we use the clining kit we got from Amazon.
My doughter doubt it i could fixed, then i cross with your video and boom, done, i did fixed in 15min.
Hard to take it a part (not dificult, just easy to not brake tabs) reset and now work as a champ again.
Thank you again for you step by step video save me $$ puls helped my Ego🤣🤣
Oh wow!
Man i had this same issue on my first K-Supreme plus, but thankfully the machine was under warranty and keurig sent me an new one. But i'm saving this video for sure just in case if my current one ever dies like that again. Once again keep up the great content.
Thanks for watching and your kind words!!!!
me too, i’m gonna fix my first one and give the new one to my mom if it works!
Descaled yesterday and the machine died this morning when I tried to make a cup. Gonna give this a go when I get home from work. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for this! It was almost a bad start to 2022, but your instructions saved the day and the start of the new year in this heavy coffee / hot chocolate drinking household. The hardest part was removing the cover and putting it back (you just have to have the stomach and patience for it LOL). Thank you again, Sir. Happy New Year!
Glad it helped! Good job fixing it!!!1
I am livid only had mine for a little over a year descaled and took good care of my machine now doesn't work turned on to make a cup of coffee and started smelling like burning wires and shut off then I unplugged and left sitting there ...replaced in nothing...shame on you keurig we all work hard for our money saved to buy this and never again will I buy your products
Best video I have watched in years. My wife hates me, I just made her a cup of coffee after fixing the keurig following your tutorial and she said thank you. God bless you brother
Great job!
This is the new K express essentials model.
I guess we take the wins where we can get them!
Thanks! Saved my KSlim by resetting the flux capacitor after running out of water on descale. Awesome video
Excellent!
The best how-to video around resetting the high temperature cut out, and I'm good to go. Keurig should have made this with an external reset.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!You saved my Keurig and my marriage. Quick and easy fix. Great tutorial!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for the video. My machine now powers on but I am having a new issue. The "ADD WATER" light will not stop blinking. I have tried cleaning the reservoir and adding in water when it's off or on etc and nothing works. Do you have any suggestions?? I would appreciate it.
thank you for saving our keurig! the thermostat got tripped by descaling but the reset fixed it like a charm
and the best part is the descaling light is STILL on after all that
LOL that darn Descale light is causing more problems than its worth. Sorry but I kind of laugh at when you said the descale light is still on.
How to do the fix in 5 min : Use a 6” or longer metal pick tool. Basically it is a thin metal rod with a 1/2” 90 bend on one end that ends in a point. All you have to do is pry off the top and then reach down from the top with your tool and press the reset button. You will need a flashlight to see in there and it might take you a couple minutes to find the reset. Of course make sure it is unplugged from power or you could die. Seriously. You could shock yourself so don’t be dumb. If your unit keeps tripping stop using it as it is defective
Thermostats for coffee makers are supposed to close again when the temp goes back down so the thermostat is faulty and only that needs to be replaced once you see that it sticks open again after a manual reset.
Good point thanks for Sharing
Thank you so much, I did it all by myself and it worked! Keurig definitely needs to make these better - my first one lasted probably 7 years. This one only went a little over a year (out of warranty of course!). I appreciate your step-by-step easy instructions!
Well, it worked, and I was jumping up and down in my kitchen like a hysterical Price is Right contestant! I can't thank you enough!! Descaling is a tricky process, but I'll never ever again allow the machine to be completely without water when running it in descale mode. I learned my lesson. It's in big red letters on my instructions. It was actually kind of fun taking the machine apart. I thought it's either going to work or not going to work, but I'm so glad it worked!! Many thanks!!
LOL thanks for sharing your awesome story!!! Now its time for some coffee!
Thanks for your very nice explained job !! Thank you very much, Sir !!......🙏🙏
So nice of you
Dad’s make the most amazing repairs daily and rarely get enough credit for it. Thanks for helping make my Keurig work again. They have sent me two new machines now because of this problem. Now I have the secret weapon to fix them myself. You are a Rock Star!
So angry that i try to do the maintenance as described on their descaling kit and NO warning on overheating - there should be a huge thing in red at the top - I just got this 3 months ago!!
Thank you for posting!!! After a couple tries at poking the middle item (I didn't have any electric monitors hooked up to it like you) and plugging it in, it fixed it!
Wow I know this can be very frustrating. Glad I was able to help!!! and thanks so much for your support!!!!!!
Thank you!!! I fixed my Keurig (3 months old) because of this video, then set to high altitude (mountains in Mexico), and then descaled!!!! Fantastic videos.
I am so fucking pissed I have to do this. All I did was descale it and this $200 machine couldn’t handle it? Shame on you Keurig
Good point
Single mom of two and I was able to do it! Thank you!
I fixed the coffee machine after watching your video. I am so grateful to you.❤
Awesome instructions. Luckily it reset for us. Thank you immensely, you started 2022 happily for us keurig/coffee lovers. You have a Happy New Year, too!
Glad I could help!
Takes too much effort. Not everyone is skilled to fix something like that. I just bought another one from Walmart and switched the broken one with the new one in the parking lot and returned it. Warranty services has a 1 year manufacture warranty but it takes too long to get a new one.
Lol
You just saved me from the worst caffeine headache of all time, you deserve a medal
Glad it helped!
this actually worked...overheated again, but now I will try to declog it...thanks
Nice instructions. Suggestions to make this a little easier:
1. don’t remove the 3 screws on the bottom then the base won’t separate from the inner workings
2. Remove the back first
3. Remove the top by sliding it back
4. Remove the side last
5. Reverse to reinstall
Thanks for a great tutorial!
Thanks I bet that is a lot easier!! thanks so much for helping!
I ended up disconnecting the sides when I reinstalled the cover. Made it a bit easier.
How would you get the sides to unclip from the back to disassemble? I think prying it might break those clips.
My wife ran it without the water and that's what popped the thermostat. If she keeps doing that, I might have to drill a small hole so I can reach that reset without taking off the side :)
I followed your instructions and the sides have to be unscrewed. I broke the plastic going up the side after really struggling to remove the plastic, had I unscrewed it they would've popped right off.
@@AoiRozlin same here
I love you. Thank you for your informative video. My husband and I can do this. We don't have a reader but we have all the other items. My new Keurig is dead. I had to run to the corner to get hot coffee, so this is much appreciated.
Thank you for the detailed instructions. I was able to follow along exactly as you described and now I have a working coffee maker again! This is precisely the information I needed - Thank you!
Awesome!! good job, Proud of you for fixing it!!!
This works great. I was about to throw it away and now it works fine.
Worked Perfectly! Thank you... FYI... Mine ran out of water during rinse of descle process...
I have never made a comment on RUclips before but I cannot thank you enough for your detailed instructions. It went exactly as described.This is the second time I descaled a Keurig supreme and it shut off both times. For the amount of money I spend on K pods, Keurig should be sending me a new one once a month. Many thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for the nice words. Next time when you do you descale maybe let it cool down when you run the descale solution through it before you start the fresh water rinses let it sit for about 20 min. then finish the it. it should stay in descale mode during this time.
@Joe Leary same thing happened to me! My machine shut off at end of descale during rinse cycle. I wonder why Keurig recommends such a taxing descale method of its been proven to cause the thermostat to overheat & trip itself to prevent fire or further damage.
*Good news in my situation is that Keurig is sending me a brand new K Supreme free of charge due to mine being under 1 year warranty... And the Kicker is they told me I could keep mine, she said to either throw it away or recycle it. Lol, yeah right now that I know what's wrong with it I'll be fixing that puppy tomorrow so I can still drink coffee until my new machine gets here next week!
THANK YOU!!!! It took 30 minutes to get it apart but i'm BACK in business!!! Woot!!This was absolutely a blessing to me. Saved me a bunch of money too. Thank you!
Excellent!
I just want to say thank you. I was descaling mine and it just quit. I did everything you said and it is now working again! Thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
Awesome troubleshooting skills and excellent explanation!! Thanks +1 subscriber
I'm an HVAC technical support and am impressed! I'll be fixing mine shortly. I was descaling and mistakenly pressed the brew without the water tank connected and it tripped then. I assumed the low water sensor would have prevented it. Perhaps that is bypassed during descaling in order to drain more solution.
My thermostat tripped, I am now certain, after attempting to brew a cup without the water reservoir in place. So if the low water sensor doesn't function without the reservoir attached, it's not limited to descaling only. After watching some of these take-apart videos, I'm surprised that Keurig doesn't have some sort of lockout to prevent brewing in the absence of a reservoir.
Exactly the same here. Descaled, got to the end of the second water tank full, and the descale light stayed on even once the water was out. Hit it one last time and it ran dry, tripped the sensor. Poor design for sure.
@@jennifermarvelactually it is meant to not last too long. Intended design
I just did it to reset the thermostat. It worked when I put it back together and I'm drinking a cup of Joe right now. But I did crack 2 plastic slot clips in the process of trying to release them. The machine holds and is working, but as was stated be extra careful releasing & removing the lid because honestly they are hard plastic and as I found out, not all are snap in!
It worked on mine! No way I could have done it without this video thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thank you!!! very good information I just fixed my Keurig that I thought was dead!!!👍🏼
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! Mine had just run out of the warranty period and of course Keurig would do nothing but offer 20% off for another one of their junk coffee makers to which I told them no thank you. You have saved the day and given me coffee while I research other brands that will hopefully be better than this! Thanks again!!
Glad I could help!!!
Perfect! It was exactly that, and it's running again. Thank you!
Thank you, you just saved my morning! Once I reset it, it worked like brand new. You just saved me $100 plus! Thank you for posting video to help others out.
You are welcome! Thanks so much for you support!!!!! It really Helps!!!!
Hey buddy, I did what you did in the video and it freaking worked!! Awesome 😂😂 except on the newer models when you take off the 1 piece plastic it now comes apart into 3 pieces. Front top and back. I know it fell apart on me. It's back together and working Kool thank you
I understand why it happens during descaling - it ignores the water sensor and tries to brew a preset number of cups. It doesn't stop when the reservoir is empty, and thus boils dry the heating tube and trips the thermal breaker. The directions in the brochure and cleaning bottle say to add a bottle of their cleaning solution and an equal amount of water before you start the descaling cycle. This is not enough. Other directions state to fill it to the max fill line - this is needed. Of course then the cleaning solution is too dilute. If it runs empty during the cycle, ADD MORE WATER ASAP.
Can't believe the breaker isn't self resetting?
Thanks for the tip!
I just fixed mine because your video!!! Thanks for your videos! ♥️
You're welcome!!
Just happened to mine and your fix worked liked a charm! Looking at all these comments you’d like Keurig would go back to drwg board.
Thank you for all your time and effort that you put into your videos! You mentioned a pump needed replaced in the second unit you showed, or even the thermostat in the first unit....where are you getting your parts? Keurig is no help when I've called them and the local appliance parts store has no access for any parts except the descale kits, water chambers, filters etc. Ive seen folks on Ebay have broken machine's that they sell for $50+++ for parts but thats a real hit or miss. Thanks in advance for your time!
Not sure where to get parts. eBay would be my first thought if someone is parting out a Keurig. Sorry I will keep my eyes open
Thanks for your kind words!!!
@@JustADad Thanks for your reply, I thought from the post you had found a source for parts/pumps. This is one of many on going problems that this co has had for too many years... If it don't work, and its not under warranty, its junk/trash! Throw it in the landfill!!! Want to buy another one? and the beat goes on. I appreciate the convenience of the product but.........
As always you do a great job and I truly appreciate you channel! I do enjoy it!Have a blessed Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas sir!
@@lawnmowerman2199 Thanks so much and same to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just followed your video. Mine now powers up! We'll see what happens when I go to brew! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Holy moly this was so helpful. Thank you for your detailed step by step video!
You're so welcome!
Thank you!!!! so much thanks!!! I had my Keurig thermostat trip when doing a descale and this saved me!
PLEASE READ TIP!!!!!! Watch the wiring when you put the case back on as the first time I did this I accidently unplugged the water level sensor and a cable moved that I almost screwed into. What I suggest is to take the case apart ( it comes apart into the front/sides panel. the back panel, and the upper panel). Wrap the front/side panel into place, slide in the upper panel, then snap on the back panel. you wont have to worry about sliding everything down in one piece
Thank you so much for providing this video. I would have never been able to figure that out on my own. Your step by step video just saved me $150.
You're welcome!
thanks, pushed my reset and it works again!
Great to hear!
Thank you Just a Dad! You are wonderful, I just fixed my keurig thanks to your instructions I can take my keurig back to Mexico and enjoy my coffee when I vacation there, I had lost hope as no one knew how to repair it and the store wasn't going to exchange it because their 30 day return policy, God bless! Please don't stop making this kind of ideas and helping people this way.
Thanks so much for you kind words!
We should have a CLASS ACTION lawsuit against Keurig for their planned obsolescence thermostat that is due to die if you descale the unit. I had this unit just over a year and when I called for help, all they would do was offer me a replacement. First for 20% off but when i complained they came down to 50% off. Again, too much money since this unit has been pampered and taken care of. Just A DAD helped me to remove the cover, I used a gem clip (some people call them paper clips) and voila, it's working again. Keurig is taking advantage of the consumer.
You made our life better! We needed our coffee!! Thank you for posting this!
You are so welcome!
wow!! thank you so much for your video. Our coffee maker got!!! fixed
Thanks for a great video. I have never seen so many complaints over a product. After a "descale," my Keurig went dead like so many others I had read about in the reviews. I took my ?SUPREME? (now there is a misnomer) apart before watching the video thinking there must be a simple breaker on the board. I found what I assumed was the thermal breaker and found there was no continuity between the two wires. I did not realize that it could be reset so easily. I'm considering cutting a hole in the side of the unit because I am sure this will happen again. Thanks again
Thanks for watching, yeah good idea.
Thank you for your videos. I have a KS+ but watched this video first to learn how to dissameble then just watched your other video relating to the KS+..Your videos are very easy to understand. Thank you very much and God Bless😄
Thank you for the tutorial! We only used ours for 3 weeks and it pooped out this morning. I was able to do everything in about 15 min maybe less. If you pop the back panel off with a flat head it's alot easier to get the case off BTW. I just popped off the case and hit the reset with a paper clip and it worked.
Good tip, thanks for Sharing!
Thank you so much. I was ready to go buy a new machine. My keurig also would not turn on after descaling. Unplugged, cooled, ....nothing. The hardest was getting that stupid cover off and then back on, but I did, reset and it works!!!!
Perfect. Thank you! It fixed mine!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much this video helped me so much 💪
your so welcome
Thanks for these excellent instructions. I repaired my machine in less than 30 minutes. Must ensure machine is unplugged and using a little elbow grease you are good to go. I believe what caused the problem is I removed the water tank while the coffee was brewing. Big no no cause I believe that is what shut down the heater switch.
Good job!! Fixing your machine
Mine would power on, I would select what or how many clips I want, then I press the brew button but 2 seconds later it shuts off. This also includes the descale mode. What’s wrong with my coffee maker?
Oh my goodness I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have come across your video!! I left my Keurig abandoned for about a year bc I thought it was dead but after watching this video & fixing it like you said, it is up & running again just like new! Thank you so so much 🙏🏻
Thank you!!! I descaled the machine and it stopped working. This did the trick!!!
Thank you! I have the smart version and it was a bit different to take apart, but your solution worked and I'm enjoying some coffee right now! A big bonus too is just that feeling of satisfaction and pride having fixed it yourself.
Awesome!
This is my 3rd Keurig that just stopped working/no power. They are built like crap. I appreciate your efforts here and its a very good video but honestly just throw the thing in the trash and get yourself a regular ol coffee brewer. The coffee is much better & it's far cheaper anyway.
HINT: To help keep the tabs sprung, I cut and shoved thin strips of paper down in the tab area. You might try more paper clips or toothpicks.
Great idea thanks for Sharing!!!!
Toothpicks worked for me
Thank you! Followed your directions, and it fixed my dead Keurig! Great video!!
I can’t believe it actually worked. Following your instructions, which were spot on, I did the paper clip reset and BINGO, I’m back in the brewing business. Thanks so much for taking the time to put up this video. It has obviously helped many people fix their broken Keurigs.
Excellent!
Thanks for sharing. Had issues taking it apart. But the reset worked and in time for my morning coffee.
Thanks for this very helpful video. I offer the following tip for reassembly. To reinstall the outer case/cover, it is much easier if you disassemble the case into 3 pieces: 1) the curved front with the left & right sides, 2) rear panel, and 3) top panel. This can be done easily by reaching inside the assembly from the bottom (after removal from the main unit) and releasing the tabs holding the rear panel to the side panels, and the single clip between the rear panel and top panel. The top panel (3) will then just slide out from the front & side assembly (2). Then you can easily install the curved front with left/right sides onto the base without having to work around the top handle. Next slide the top cover (2) into place from the rear. Then insert the rear panel (3) into the base, bottom first, and its sides will easily click into place as you apply pressure to bring the top edge of the rear panel towards the top panel. Sorry for the long description, but it's the best I can do without posting a video myself. I see more than one post below with a similar suggestion - I repeat it here, because it's really a worthwhile point to include in a future video!
Thank you!!! I was losing my mind trying to get it back together
Yes this works but all those plastic clips and panels are not meant to stand up to repeated disassembly. I have about a 50% success rate descaling this machine. Very annoying product with a design defect. I would not recommend it to anyone.
Thanks for the heads up, the challenge that I faced was putting it back together having all the plastic clips fall into place, but other than that this was spot on and you’re going places. Thanks for your help, and your kindness
Glad I could help
Major challenge for me also. After several tries getting it on as one piece, I unclipped the top and back as one piece and attached that after getting the front portion in place and clipped in. Top and back clipped on last with no issues at all. Worked perfectly. That’s the only way I’ll reassemble it going forward.
Definitely a cheap part that should qualify for recall. They could have caught this in QA and I think the descale instructions are purposely vague.
This is a great video. I did everything, plugged it in and had power but the second I pushed the button to start the brew it started smoking so I pulled the plug from the wall. I just realized as I as typing this that when I first pressed the button I that I forgot to put the water tank back in, so I'm sure it tripped again from that. I'll try again in a while to see. If they weren't SO expensive I might not try again. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. This was just what I needed. Reset the thermostat and all is good! During the process I discovered why the later models come apart in sections. Mine did this all on its own. While I was trying to work it over the handle. Which of course made the reassembly process much easier. Thanks again!
Thanks for the video. You saved me $100+ since the Wife was ready to go buy a new one. Wondering if someone has drilled a small hole in the shell to reset it without having to disassemble it.
Actually, here's a tip to make pulling the cover easier: The back part of the cover is just clipped on, running a small spudger (like from a cell phone tool kit) or a pick along the seams on each side will separate it from the front part - do this AFTER releasing the 6 tabs on the bottom and moving the whole cover up. It makes it a lot easier than trying to slip the whole cover over the top of the machine.
Great idea and thanks for Sharing to help me an others!!!
Will try this if there is a next time, thanks for the tip!
I found this out when I couldn't put it back together! Lol
Hi, I appreciate your video but that’s not the problem with my unit. I was wondering if you have made a video on adjusting the lid it’s misaligned and it doesn’t press down on the coffee pod and so it comes on top of pod and the bottom unevenly and the coffee doesn’t taste good it’s too weak I was wondering do you know of a video to help this problem .
Thank you for the video. After descaling our 3 month old unit, it would not power back on. I followed your video, disassembled, reset the thermostat, and it powered back up. After reassembly, our unit is working. Keurig either needs to upgrade thermostat and/or have the reset button on the outside of the unit rather than have to disassemble for reset access. Ours is the stainless steel cover so the disassembling was slightly different.
This was perfect!
Super easy and simple to follow along . My problem was fixed after doing this 🙌🙌🙌
Glad it helped!
Great video fixed my Kurig by following the video. Thanks
It would have been nice if they designed it with an external reset button.
Excellent tutorial! It was so helpful mentioning the sections that may be hard to remove. I would have given up, worrying I may break the unit. My mom's Keurig is finally working again. We both thank you!
❤❤Thank you so much!!! I fixed my Keurig with your easy video! I stuck my earring in the reset hole & IT WORKED 🎉
Just want to say thank you so much for your video! I’m horrible at fixing things but because of your video I was able to fix the problem. If you are anything like me coffee is life so a machine that wasn’t working is just heartbreaking lol Thanks so much! 👍🏻👍🏻
You're welcome!
