You, sir, are a lifesaver. Just finished descaling my Keurig Slim, was going through the water rinses and all of a sudden the machine shut down and nothing I did could get it to turn back on. A WTF moment if there ever was one. Found this video, and with a second of trepidation, the shop knife and phillips screwdrivers were out. All of a sudden, I felt like a heart surgeon reaching for tools, and wiping the sweat from my forehead, knowing this was a patient I had to save. I paused my rock xmas music playlist when I got to the critical moment of the paper clip insertion. "Click", it was done, but Slim (as I call him) was not out of the woods. Getting the patient closed up was not an easy task. Tabs, clips, screws, and rubber feet were all ahead of me. Finally, it was done with no parts left over! After I do a mental drum roll, I press the power button and...............nothing! NOOOOOOO! Turns out I forgot to plug it back in. D'oh. Did the plug thing and all is right with the world. I guess you can teach this 70-year-old dog new tricks. Many, many, many thanks.
You just prevented DEFCON 10 at my Father In Law’s house!! His coffee maker broke?!? Chaos was about to ensue! Anarchy! Catastrophe! Sheer mayhem. No one was safe! But alas your video came to the rescue! Thank you!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I descaled my slim last night before going to bed. All of a sudden no power to slim. This morning I looked at a unplug solution so left unplugged all day. Finally plugged in. Nothing. Time to search utube. Found your video. This 73 yo grandma needed her coffee. It works. So great full to you.
Hi Just a Dad - you make great videos! I always look to you when I have a keurig problem, and you’ve always come through! Right now I’m trying to do a reset. After descaling, I tried using the keurig next day and no power. I’ve taken it apart, tried the reset button, and still no power. However, I did not feel or hear anything at all to indicate a switch being set. I tried pushing harder, no luck. Any advice?
Wow, this totally worked for us. Keurig customer service "trouble shooting" was just testing our outlet. They recommend junking the machine and buying a new one! All fixed, all better. Thanks, JustaDad.
Keurig K-slim. Astronaut. Coffee-maker, barely alive. Gentlemen, we have the technology. We can make him better. Stronger. Faster. Thank you, sir! It took me longer to find the tools around the house than to take apart and fix, then put back together. Now works like a charm! THANKYOU!
Wifey tried to make a cup without water and no power afterwards. It was very satisfying to hear the little click of the thermostat and then plug it in and have it work again. Thank you sir. I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
My husband insisted that I am the one that broke the Keurig, so I had to fix it! I said, " Fine, you stay completely away and don't put your two cents in". Admittedly, I did struggle due to my eyes are not the best and I honestly needed better lighting. However, I did it and it is now working! So, Thank you! BTW, my Keurig is only a year old and we've only used it in our motorhome. Thank you again 😊
Thanks so much for this video. I had not used my Keurig K Supreme for several months. When I tried to use it this morning, it shut down and nothing worked. I called Keurig Customer Support with no luck. They just wanted me to buy a new machine. I found this video and the reset of the sensor worked. Thanks again.
I’m 75 years old ….. and was able to do exactly what JustADad demonstrated to do! And my Keurig now works … I had descaled it….and it wouldn’t turn on at the end of the descale… reset it! Thank you!
I cannot thank you enough. I called keurig and they told me it was fried and to buy a new one. I followed your easy directions and 10 minutes later it works. Thank you!!!!!
You, my friend, are a genius! I am on my third k-slim and it died today during descaling. The first two were replaced under warranty, but it was a PIA to get it processed. This literally took five minutes, heard the click, snapped it back together and it worked. I think the problem is there video does not advise you to add additional water! HERO!
Thank you sir! Keurig wouldn't honour my reciept even though it died before the year of manufacturer warranty. I followed your easy instructions and was able to enjoy my coffee after the process!! Thank you so much!
This worked perfectly for me. Thank you so much for posting it. This is just another example of consumer product companies building in obsolescence and/or self destruction into their products. This could be so easily avoided in the product design with a reset switch or a self performing reset in the software when the unit overheats during descaling or heavy use. They must figure the opportunity costs for most users to figure this out is less than the cost of getting a new unit and they are probably right about that.
Thank you, sir! This was one of the best simple step-by-step videos. I’ve seen in a little while and he definitely saved my bacon with the relatives a late night Keurig power failure. Bravo
You just saved me $100! My husband wanted me to trash the machine, I told him I'd try 1st, and then trash it, wasn't out of anything but time. Of course, I had a metal finger nail file in my toolbox,😉, perfect!! Thanks again! Cheers!!
Your video save me from buying a new coffee maker after mine stopped powering during descaling. (I wish now that Neurig had a built-in reset button or, at least a mention of the ptotential to trip the thermostat during descaling.) The steps were clearly presented and the video clearly showed what needed to be done to disassemble, reset the themostat, and reassemble the Keurig. Saved me a lot of time fumbling around. Thanks.
I love your videos! You have no idea how easy you make it seem and fix the problem with Keurig. I’m a 50 years young lady and always told my son once you open it up (anything electronic or motorized) it will never work again. Boy was I wrong. I searched last night for 4 hours trying to listen and pay attention to all the other videos of other people but I found you. You should have been ateacher or a professor. Your voice is calming and assured of what your teaching or help us repair. I fixed my own Keurig Slim and I thank you!!! I have subscribed and kind of secretly excited if one day f my sharks or Dysons stop working. I know you will be right here showing me and others how to fix it!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🤩🌴
Thank you!!! I just got home after being gone 6 months. All I could think about was a fresh brewed cup of coffee, hit the brew button and poof! No power…found your video and now I’m commenting with a fresh cuppa black gold. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! I was able to push in the reset on the thermostat by only loosening the panels and sneaking my hand inside. Saved me at least $100 thinking it was a dead soldier. And the pesky descaling light issue was fix by watching your other video! I salute you, good sir!
You saved my keurig! First time this happened i assumed i fried the board and replaced it. Now when this happened a second time, i went online and was led to this clip and was thrilled to have the machine back online thanks to you! Thanks a bunch!
You are a life saver!! I was descaling my barely 1 year old keurig and all of a sudden it shut off. I tried everything to get it to turn on. Your video is very thorough and I was able to take apart my machine and reset it! Thank you so much!!!
With all that we each paid for these, it shouldn’t die in a year! Mine is dead now too and I’m sure it’s this issue- but keurig should either fix the issue or refund us.
Wow!!! Totally worked! This struggling mom hesitantly splurged on a keurig slim for herself. First time descaling & it overheted. I thought it was a goner, I was so hurt that it did last last. Thank you! 🙏
Thanks for posting the repair. I had exactly the same problem. This was our second machine which had been replaced under warranty. While I was getting ready to toss this one in the garbage out of frustration my wife found your video. Looks like the bimetallic high limit switch doesn’t want to reset on its own. Paper clip worked perfectly. Now I can enjoy my coffee while typing this response. Much appreciated.
Thanks, just a dad! I tried this on the Keurig K slim iced brewer and it worked like a charm. The front didn't come all the way off like in your video but I managed to reset the machine. I had sent my original Keurig back for replacement so this was the second one and it is a hassle to give them all the documentations. Your video save me from all of that and I applaud you. 😊
Great video. I was going to buy a new coffee maker tomorrow. I thought "Why not see if this is on you tube?" Sure enough, I found this video.... I was very skeptical the whole time I was taking my machine apart, doing the paper clip thing, then putting my machine back together. But Yea!! The machine has power again, and a video saved me lots of time and money.
You are a Godsend, I called keurig customer Service after my Keurig stopped working while I was descaling it And they couldn’t figure out how to solve the issue so they just mentioned buying a new one but this was a gift by my mom so I didn’t want to just buy a new one ( plus I just spent money on buying a descaling kit) this really helped a lot thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I was descaling and my keurig started smoking! I unplugged and let it sit for over an hour. Then my fiancé and I watched your video and it worked as u said to a T. Thank you so much once again!!! ❤
Worked like a charm for my K-Slim with Iced Coffee maker. BUT: had to do it two times because that darned air pocket caused the overheating… twice! The third time I heard it sputtering and I immediately unplugged it. Gave it a minute, re-primed the water again… and then started a cycle. And it worked like usual! Thank you, again, for your thorough walk-through!
I DID it!!! Your video was sooo easy to follow! I descaled my newest Keurig before went in to help a local LTC place last night. I only had a few hours sleep this morning, was suffering from a headache & then the disappointed of my freshly cleaned machine not powering up. A Redditer shared your video and I had my machine fixed in under an hour. (Probably would've been even quicker if I hadn't had to refresh my self on using my multimeter) Thanks Dad!!!!
Thank you so very much for posting this!!!! I’m a single mom and I knew what happened while descaling, but needed the walk-thru! You saved our Keurig and now my teenager won’t have to deal with their uncaffinated mother! ❤
Just found your video after I overheated my KSlim +Iced while descaling. I was just about ready to throw it away. I followed your instructions and now my Keurig works again. You’re a genius. Thank you.
I just tried this on my Keurig and it worked! I would normally junk items that stop working but wanted to try to save this because it was a Christmas gift from my boyfriend. Thank you so much for the step by step instructions and extra tips along the way!
I did it! It was a bit tricky but I kept on trying....and took my time. Just A Dad guy totally walks you through it....I had to pause or replay a few times....but I got it reset. It didn't click but I just made sure to press firmly. It works great now.😊
Just finished repairing my Slim. It was exactly as you described. I followed your video step by step. Thank you for your help! The hardest part was finding a damn paperclip!!
You da man.... was getting ready to trash mine... its a slightly different model but your procedure was the same... now it's up and running.. thanks a million!!!!
Just like the other comments. I was just about to buy myself a new Keurig after it bricked up after a descaling process but came across this video. I mean it was going in the trash anyway what's the worse that can happen. I pulled it apart, hit the reset, cleaned it up, and put it all back together, and it worked. Thank you so very much. You sir got a new follower!
Thank you so much for this video. My Keurig would not turn on this morning and what is a day without a coffee start? I was skeptical thinking that I might have to buy a new one, particularly when I stuck the paper clip into the reset hole and didn't hear a click. So I pushed it in there several times with the feeling I'd still have to buy a new one but, alas, your technique worked. Thank you again!!
You are really out here doing the Lord's work. The Keurig community thanks you for your service, sir. This absolutely worked (I had to do it twice, making sure I really got in there and hit the reset, but BAM!)
Thank you for this tutorial. We were gifted this and it stopped working in under a month and after futile calls to Keurig, your video helped us fix it! It is quite a flimsy machine and I am not sure how much longer it will keep working but glad we came across your video.
Thanks for the step by step video. As per your instructions, this grandma was able to save Slim from an early demise. I had to slightly lift the reservoir repeadedly, since the thermostat did not want to cooperate. Also, I kept the housing off, until I finally was able to get a full cycle of descaling. (For which I used vinegar) (evidently, the Keurig descaling solution I used three weeks ago didn't do such a great job, otherwise it would not have come to this emergency operation) Thanks again!
Worked like a charm. My mom was about to throw hers out so i reverted back to my old adage, I cant break it more. Followed the vid, 30 min later works like a charm. Beauty here is I have a slim for my RV so now I know what's up if that does the same thing.
Thank you very much! I was just descaling my slim machine, noticed the add water light was not going on, so I tried pressing again. The machine died. Just got off phone with Keurig, sending me a new one at 50% off. Then I found your video. I did exactly what you said and it works!!!! Thank you. What a sham that they can’t tell you that it’s a simple fix!
Omg thank you so much for this video. My grandma’s keurig shut down after she took the water reservoir while it was descaling. We called customer service and they just said if it’s plugged in to a working socket and still not turning on than we need a new one. Well my grandma has two tool boxes and we always put things together ourselves so we followed your video and got it to work!
OK... I'm about halfway into this disassembly process, and I've already nearly bloodied my left thumb on those 5 upper needles in the K-pod chamber! Be sure to secure a rag with a rubber band in there to protect yourself. (LATER) Got the thermostat reset and (with minimal difficulty) got the whole thing back together again. Now de-scaling with cleaning vinegar. WORD OF WARNING! : Don't EVER let the water tank run completely dry!!! THANKS DAD for this awesome video!!!
You saved me again!!! Yes I get to have coffee again. Each time I descale I have an issue and you always have a video to get my back in business. Thank you!!!
Thanks so much. Just saved me $150. The Keurig in our RV stopped working after 3 months total use and I thought I was going to have to purchase a new one, but I was able to reset the one we have and all is well.
Thank you! You saved me from having to buy a new one. I don’t have a Dad anymore, so thank you for standing in when I needed one. I know that would have made my Dad happy.
Great video! Our manager got us one of these and when we descaled it recently, it wouldn't power on after we had rinsed it. Sure enough it was because the reservoir when dry... I followed your video and got it working again!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I followed your brilliant instructions and fixed the problem. Your video is PERFECT, it's correct, to the point, and with no annoying audio. You are the best.
Thank you for posting this! My machine overheated after descaling when the water tank ran dry. Followed your video and I'm back drinking coffee again!😊
Just a Dad is a lifesaver! (Okay, maybe that's a bit of an overstatement... but you did save me more than $100 with this simple, step-by-step video to reset the thermostat on my Keurig Slim coffee maker!) Apparently, a cycle was started without sufficient water in the tank... and BOOM! Suddenly no worky worky. A simple 10-minute reset repair, and back to regular morning coffee. So, perhaps you DID save a life, as I will not have to do without coffee again tomorrow! Thanks, sir! 🙂
I started and stopped this comment about 10 times. I tried to make it short and compact but failed every time, (because there is so much I wish I could tell you). Bottom line, this mornings descaling killed my machine exactly as you described, by NOT flashing the "ADD WATER" light. I contacted tech support and got the usual "Did you try turning it off and on again, try another wall outlet... If that fails, you need a new machine" (ref: The IT Crowd) I purchased a new Keurig Slim on Amazon. (by the way, Keurig did offer 35% off a $159 Slim when it's $99 on Amazon) Before trashing the old one I thought "I wonder if RUclips knows a guy" ;-) ;-) I found and watched your video twice and fixed my machine in less than ten minutes. Very well documented steps, easy to follow. Thank you :-) :-) I still wish I could tell you the full story . After the fix I called tech support again and asked why this solution was not proposed... they had no real answer. Again: Thank YOU :-) :-)
I can't believe it. I did it and it worked!!!!! After running multiple descale cycles it powered off. I must of overheated it in my diligence. This thing is a BEAST to take apart. I am your typical female, with NO background in electronics. I am tenacious though. Thanks for the video and for keeping it simple.
THANK YOU, It Worked like a charm! (Descale light was still on, but I unplugged it, let it sit & then plugged it back in & No Descale light. Now I'm having Coffee!)
Thank you so much ❤ I thought I broke it. I was following instruction on how to descale from Keurig. Now, I am happy to see that I was not the only one. I followed all your steps to reset it and it works!!!
Thank you so much!! Just saved me from having to buy a new keurig. I was doing the descaling process and the add water never came on just like you said at the end. Won’t make that mistake again!
OMG!!! I left my wedding ring on top of the lid (washing dishes, completely forgot I left it there) and I was trying to make coffee for my husband the next morning and the ring went inside after I lifted the lid up to insert the pod. Completely FREAKING OUT!!! Didn’t want to tell my husband and I came across your video! THANK YOU!!! I was able to get it back!!! 😭
I have two Kuerig Coffee makers, but my K900 model wasn't used for several months and did not work at all, but now after watching your video I will open it up and reset the Thermostat. Thank you friend! I need a quick fix!!!😜😜😜😇😇😇♥♥♥!
ALWAYS go to YT for answers. I'm an engineer now because of YT. Hahaha But seriously, all the how-tos have saved me a 💩 ton. Now if they had a video to fix ??? (not gonna say it because she may find this online one day)
I’m a truck driver and need my slim as much as possible and it stopped working. I was thinking I broke it by bouncing around so much and you sir have saved my life. Thank you so much.
With the most sincere appreciation. Thank you so much for your video and easy instructions that helped me. Have you ever seen a mom without Coffee!!! it was truly scary for the 3 days without my Keurig for a fix that took less than 15 minutes. God Bless you, truly.
Please allow me to echo the last comments!" You are a lifesaver!" Your instructions were perfect and my coffee maker is once again operating as hoped for. Thank you very much for taking your time and making the effort to help us.
We have a K 900 in our cabin in Maine. The cabin sits empty over the winter. Upon our arrival from Cal. the coffee maker was dead. Was expecting to have to buy a new one but gave RUclips a shot. Your repair video was just what I needed to bring it back to life ! Thanks !
After a failed attempt at descaling (not doing it the correct way) our Keurig K-Slim would not power back on. We were about to throw it in the trash when I decided to do a search to see if there were ways to "reset" it. Sure enough, this worked. I also followed the descale instructions to the letter on another Just A Dad Video and was able to properly descale the unit without any issues. Thank you!
You are a lifesaver. The first go around didn't work but you mentioning to try the rest a little harder did the trick. Crazy how this machine just stops like this when it overheats
So happy to have found your videos tonight. Just was given a slightly used one of these Slim models and all of your videos are helpful as it sat awhile with some water in it with heavy minerals. But I wish I would have known the info in this video 5 years ago - threw out one of those $300 color touch screen models with the tanks that lit up (something like the K500s?) for the very things you mentioned in this video! It was brand new. Put into storage for a year, after only been used 6 months by just me (and not even daily). Took out to use after moving. Ran descale, and it didn’t start back up once done. I was heartbroken- wish I had another one and knew how to keep it working - loved it!!
Thank you so much for the video tip. Spot on! I tripped the overheat reset while refilling the water canister and accidentally pressed a cup size selection button. I followed your video and the steps worked perfectly.
Thank you so much. I’m terrible at taking things apart and putting them back together. I’m a long distance truck driver so when the Keurig wouldn’t power up it was crisis mode! I followed your directions and it’s working! 🎉
What a great video. I actually returned 3 of these because they stopped working after descaling. Definitely a manufacturing problem. Thanks for producing this.
My man! Thanks so much for the tutorial! I too finished descaling and the unit tripped. All Keurig wanted to do is sell me a new unit, but thanks to your video my Slim is back in action! Thank you!👍👍👍
Thank you so much! We came back to our Florida condo after 6 months away and the Keurig wouldn’t turn on. Thankfully we found your video, followed your steps and voila! Awesome job!
My hero! Saved me from buying a new keurig. I did need to reset twice, so recommend trying it before you put everything back together. But overall great video. Thanks!!
You, sir, are a lifesaver. Just finished descaling my Keurig Slim, was going through the water rinses and all of a sudden the machine shut down and nothing I did could get it to turn back on. A WTF moment if there ever was one. Found this video, and with a second of trepidation, the shop knife and phillips screwdrivers were out. All of a sudden, I felt like a heart surgeon reaching for tools, and wiping the sweat from my forehead, knowing this was a patient I had to save. I paused my rock xmas music playlist when I got to the critical moment of the paper clip insertion. "Click", it was done, but Slim (as I call him) was not out of the woods.

After I do a mental drum roll, I press the power button and...............nothing! NOOOOOOO! Turns out I forgot to plug it back in. D'oh. Did the plug thing and all is right with the world. I guess you can teach this 70-year-old dog new tricks. Many, many, many thanks.
Thanks for the good story, it made me laugh. Glad it helped and good job getting it fixed!!!
On my second cup of the morning. Tastes like victory! Thanks again.
I love your story analogy Ed.I needed that 😂
Same thing here, Mr. Big Shot. Keurig will send me another one though as it is still under warranty. Second one that this has happened.
Same situation as me. Mine is still flashing descale after getting the power restored.
You just prevented DEFCON 10 at my Father In Law’s house!! His coffee maker broke?!? Chaos was about to ensue! Anarchy! Catastrophe! Sheer mayhem. No one was safe! But alas your video came to the rescue! Thank you!
LOL, by the way you are good writer and story teller!!!! I enjoyed reading your comment!
Haha that is hilarious. I wasn’t so lucky. No thermostat when I tore it apart 😢
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I descaled my slim last night before going to bed. All of a sudden no power to slim. This morning I looked at a unplug solution so left unplugged all day. Finally plugged in. Nothing. Time to search utube. Found your video. This 73 yo grandma needed her coffee. It works. So great full to you.
Great job! Wow so proud of you!!!!
Hi Just a Dad - you make great videos! I always look to you when I have a keurig problem, and you’ve always come through!
Right now I’m trying to do a reset. After descaling, I tried using the keurig next day and no power. I’ve taken it apart, tried the reset button, and still no power. However, I did not feel or hear anything at all to indicate a switch being set. I tried pushing harder, no luck.

Well said
Wow, you are the man. It actually worked. I can't believe it! Great directions!! Well done!!
Glad I could help! Thanks for your support!!!!
Wifey tried to make a cup without water and no power afterwards. It was very satisfying to hear the little click of the thermostat and then plug it in and have it work again. Thank you sir. I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
You're a hero!! Thank you for this.
Big big shout-out to Keurig for having cleaning directions that brick the unit.
😂
@@jamesadamo1134 Couldn't agree more, and also the ease of access to the reset button is utter genius.
My husband insisted that I am the one that broke the Keurig, so I had to fix it! I said, " Fine, you stay completely away and don't put your two cents in". Admittedly, I did struggle due to my eyes are not the best and I honestly needed better lighting. However, I did it and it is now working! So, Thank you! BTW, my Keurig is only a year old and we've only used it in our motorhome. Thank you again 😊
Oh no! Good job!!! fixing it!!! Very Proud of you!
Keurig was about 1 boot away from the back door.. till I watchd this.. thank you sir and may u receive 2 chariots in the afterlife
Thanks so much for this video. I had not used my Keurig K Supreme for several months. When I tried to use it this morning, it shut down and nothing worked.

You’re a life saver. After descaling my Keurig died only had it about 3 months. Came across this video and wala time for a fresh cup a Joe. Thank you

I had sent my original Keurig back for replacement so this was the second one and it is a hassle to give them all the documentations. Your video save me from all of that and I applaud you. 😊
Best, most helpful video on RUclips. Thanks for saving me money and teaching me something new. Again, super helpful!
Great video. I was going to buy a new coffee maker tomorrow. I thought "Why not see if this is on you tube?" Sure enough, I found this video....
I was very skeptical the whole time I was taking my machine apart, doing the paper clip thing, then putting my machine back together.
But Yea!! The machine has power again, and a video saved me lots of time and money.
Glad it was helpful!
My son called and let me know my K Slim wouldn’t turn on. I watched this video and now it works like a champ! THANK YOU!!
Glad I could help!
You are a Godsend, I called keurig customer Service after my Keurig stopped working while I was descaling it And they couldn’t figure out how to solve the issue so they just mentioned buying a new one but this was a gift by my mom so I didn’t want to just buy a new one ( plus I just spent money on buying a descaling kit) this really helped a lot thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I was descaling and my keurig started smoking! I unplugged and let it sit for over an hour. Then my fiancé and I watched your video and it worked as u said to a T. Thank you so much once again!!! ❤
Worked like a charm for my K-Slim with Iced Coffee maker. BUT: had to do it two times because that darned air pocket caused the overheating… twice! The third time I heard it sputtering and I immediately unplugged it. Gave it a minute, re-primed the water again… and then started a cycle. And it worked like usual! Thank you, again, for your thorough walk-through!
I DID it!!!
Your video was sooo easy to follow! I descaled my newest Keurig before went in to help a local LTC place last night. I only had a few hours sleep this morning, was suffering from a headache & then the disappointed of my freshly cleaned machine not powering up.
A Redditer shared your video and I had my machine fixed in under an hour. (Probably would've been even quicker if I hadn't had to refresh my self on using my multimeter)
Thanks Dad!!!!
Good job
Thank you so very much for posting this!!!! I’m a single mom and I knew what happened while descaling, but needed the walk-thru! You saved our Keurig and now my teenager won’t have to deal with their uncaffinated mother! ❤
you’re a lifesaver! found a keurig at the thrift store, brought it home, it wasn’t turning on. found this video and now it works! thank you so much!
Just found your video after I overheated my KSlim +Iced while descaling. I was just about ready to throw it away. I followed your instructions and now my Keurig works again. You’re a genius. Thank you.
Awesome. You're welcome
I just tried this on my Keurig and it worked! I would normally junk items that stop working but wanted to try to save this because it was a Christmas gift from my boyfriend. Thank you so much for the step by step instructions and extra tips along the way!
I did it! It was a bit tricky but I kept on trying....and took my time. Just A Dad guy totally walks you through it....I had to pause or replay a few times....but I got it reset. It didn't click but I just made sure to press firmly. It works great now.😊
Fantastic!
Thank you! I was sad all day that my 4 month old keurig broke and your video was the perfect solution.
Great to hear!
I descaled my Keurig and it stopped working. Used your detailed video and it is working! Thank you Sir!
Just finished repairing my Slim. It was exactly as you described. I followed your video step by step. Thank you for your help! The hardest part was finding a damn paperclip!!
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! I WAS GETTING READY TO THROW MINE OUT AND I FOUND THIS VIDEO BACK WORKING LIKE CHARM!!! THANK!!! ❤❤❤
Glad it helped!
Thanks 'Just a Dad'! You brought our two year old K900 back to life.
You da man.... was getting ready to trash mine... its a slightly different model but your procedure was the same... now it's up and running.. thanks a million!!!!
Just like the other comments. I was just about to buy myself a new Keurig after it bricked up after a descaling process but came across this video. I mean it was going in the trash anyway what's the worse that can happen. I pulled it apart, hit the reset, cleaned it up, and put it all back together, and it worked. Thank you so very much. You sir got a new follower!
Thank you so much for this video. My Keurig would not turn on this morning and what is a day without a coffee start? I was skeptical thinking that I might have to buy a new one, particularly when I stuck the paper clip into the reset hole and didn't hear a click. So I pushed it in there several times with the feeling I'd still have to buy a new one but, alas, your technique worked. Thank you again!!
You are really out here doing the Lord's work. The Keurig community thanks you for your service, sir. This absolutely worked (I had to do it twice, making sure I really got in there and hit the reset, but BAM!)
Thank you for this tutorial. We were gifted this and it stopped working in under a month and after futile calls to Keurig, your video helped us fix it! It is quite a flimsy machine and I am not sure how much longer it will keep working but glad we came across your video.
Thanks for the step by step video. As per your instructions, this grandma was able to save Slim from an early demise. I had to slightly lift the reservoir repeadedly, since the thermostat did not want to cooperate. Also, I kept the housing off, until I finally was able to get a full cycle of descaling. (For which I used vinegar) (evidently, the Keurig descaling solution I used three weeks ago didn't do such a great job, otherwise it would not have come to this emergency operation) Thanks again!
Keurig would just offer a 50% off new machine if I did a year long subscription. Thank you for making it so simple to fix.
Wow, thanks!
Worked like a charm. My mom was about to throw hers out so i reverted back to my old adage, I cant break it more. Followed the vid, 30 min later works like a charm. Beauty here is I have a slim for my RV so now I know what's up if that does the same thing.
Thank you very much! I was just descaling my slim machine, noticed the add water light was not going on, so I tried pressing again. The machine died. Just got off phone with Keurig, sending me a new one at 50% off. Then I found your video. I did exactly what you said and it works!!!! Thank you. What a sham that they can’t tell you that it’s a simple fix!
Omg thank you so much for this video. My grandma’s keurig shut down after she took the water reservoir while it was descaling. We called customer service and they just said if it’s plugged in to a working socket and still not turning on than we need a new one. Well my grandma has two tool boxes and we always put things together ourselves so we followed your video and got it to work!
OK... I'm about halfway into this disassembly process, and I've already nearly bloodied my left thumb on those 5 upper needles in the K-pod chamber! Be sure to secure a rag with a rubber band in there to protect yourself. (LATER) Got the thermostat reset and (with minimal difficulty) got the whole thing back together again. Now de-scaling with cleaning vinegar. WORD OF WARNING! : Don't EVER let the water tank run completely dry!!! THANKS DAD for this awesome video!!!
You saved me again!!! Yes I get to have coffee again. Each time I descale I have an issue and you always have a video to get my back in business. Thank you!!!
Thanks so much. Just saved me $150. The Keurig in our RV stopped working after 3 months total use and I thought I was going to have to purchase a new one, but I was able to reset the one we have and all is well.
Thank you! You saved me from having to buy a new one. I don’t have a Dad anymore, so thank you for standing in when I needed one. I know that would have made my Dad happy.
You are very welcome!!!! any time you need help just let me know!!! Very proud of you for researching and getting it done!!! Way To Go!!!!!
@@JustADad Thank you!
Great video! Our manager got us one of these and when we descaled it recently, it wouldn't power on after we had rinsed it. Sure enough it was because the reservoir when dry... I followed your video and got it working again!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I followed your brilliant instructions and fixed the problem. Your video is PERFECT, it's correct, to the point, and with no annoying audio. You are the best.
Thank you for posting this! My machine overheated after descaling when the water tank ran dry. Followed your video and I'm back drinking coffee again!😊
Thank you so much. I thought I was going to have to buy a new one and I just don’t have the money right now. You are awesome
You are so welcome!
Just a Dad is a lifesaver! (Okay, maybe that's a bit of an overstatement... but you did save me more than $100 with this simple, step-by-step video to reset the thermostat on my Keurig Slim coffee maker!) Apparently, a cycle was started without sufficient water in the tank... and BOOM! Suddenly no worky worky. A simple 10-minute reset repair, and back to regular morning coffee. So, perhaps you DID save a life, as I will not have to do without coffee again tomorrow! Thanks, sir! 🙂
I started and stopped this comment about 10 times. I tried to make it short and compact but failed every time, (because there is so much I wish I could tell you). Bottom line, this mornings descaling killed my machine exactly as you described, by NOT flashing the "ADD WATER" light. I contacted tech support and got the usual "Did you try turning it off and on again, try another wall outlet... If that fails, you need a new machine" (ref: The IT Crowd) I purchased a new Keurig Slim on Amazon. (by the way, Keurig did offer 35% off a $159 Slim when it's $99 on Amazon) Before trashing the old one I thought "I wonder if RUclips knows a guy" ;-) ;-) I found and watched your video twice and fixed my machine in less than ten minutes. Very well documented steps, easy to follow. Thank you :-) :-) I still wish I could tell you the full story . After the fix I called tech support again and asked why this solution was not proposed... they had no real answer. Again: Thank YOU :-) :-)
Your Welcome
I can't believe it. I did it and it worked!!!!!
After running multiple descale cycles it powered off. I must of overheated it in my diligence.
This thing is a BEAST to take apart. I am your typical female, with NO background in electronics. I am tenacious though.
Thanks for the video and for keeping it simple.
THANK YOU, It Worked like a charm! (Descale light was still on, but I unplugged it, let it sit & then plugged it back in & No Descale light. Now I'm having Coffee!)
Thank you so much ❤ I thought I broke it. I was following instruction on how to descale from Keurig. Now, I am happy to see that I was not the only one. I followed all your steps to reset it and it works!!!
Thank you so much!! Just saved me from having to buy a new keurig. I was doing the descaling process and the add water never came on just like you said at the end. Won’t make that mistake again!
OMG!!! I left my wedding ring on top of the lid (washing dishes, completely forgot I left it there) and I was trying to make coffee for my husband the next morning and the ring went inside after I lifted the lid up to insert the pod. Completely FREAKING OUT!!! Didn’t want to tell my husband and I came across your video! THANK YOU!!! I was able to get it back!!! 😭
wow!!! what an amazing story!!! thanks for sharing!!!
I have two Kuerig Coffee makers, but my K900 model wasn't used for several months and did not work at all, but now after watching your video I will open it up and reset the Thermostat. Thank you friend! I need a quick fix!!!😜😜😜😇😇😇♥♥♥!
You are a god-send. Followed your instructions, and, lo and behold, my Keurig is working again. Thank you.
Great to hear!
You're a lifesaver! Been struggling with troubleshooting mine for over an hour and decided to go to RUclips for answers.
ALWAYS go to YT for answers.
I'm an engineer now because of YT. Hahaha
But seriously, all the how-tos have saved me a 💩 ton.
Now if they had a video to fix ??? (not gonna say it because she may find this online one day)
I’m a truck driver and need my slim as much as possible and it stopped working. I was thinking I broke it by bouncing around so much and you sir have saved my life. Thank you so much.
Awesome!!! good job!
With the most sincere appreciation. Thank you so much for your video and easy instructions that helped me. Have you ever seen a mom without Coffee!!! it was truly scary for the 3 days without my Keurig for a fix that took less than 15 minutes. God Bless you, truly.
Please allow me to echo the last comments!" You are a lifesaver!" Your instructions were perfect and my coffee maker is
once again operating as hoped for. Thank you very much for taking your time and making the effort to help us.
Glad to help!!!!
Awesome!! Took me about 10 minutes to disassemble, reset and reassemble every thing and the Keurig works again!!!
thanks!!
We have a K 900 in our cabin in Maine. The cabin sits empty over the winter. Upon our arrival from Cal. the coffee maker was dead. Was expecting to have to buy a new one but gave RUclips a shot. Your repair video was just what I needed to bring it back to life ! Thanks !
I don’t see the thermosstst
After a failed attempt at descaling (not doing it the correct way) our Keurig K-Slim would not power back on. We were about to throw it in the trash when I decided to do a search to see if there were ways to "reset" it. Sure enough, this worked. I also followed the descale instructions to the letter on another Just A Dad Video and was able to properly descale the unit without any issues. Thank you!
You are a lifesaver. The first go around didn't work but you mentioning to try the rest a little harder did the trick. Crazy how this machine just stops like this when it overheats
So happy to have found your videos tonight. Just was given a slightly used one of these Slim models and all of your videos are helpful as it sat awhile with some water in it with heavy minerals. But I wish I would have known the info in this video 5 years ago - threw out one of those $300 color touch screen models with the tanks that lit up (something like the K500s?) for the very things you mentioned in this video! It was brand new. Put into storage for a year, after only been used 6 months by just me (and not even daily). Took out to use after moving. Ran descale, and it didn’t start back up once done. I was heartbroken- wish I had another one and knew how to keep it working - loved it!!
Thank you so much for the video tip. Spot on!
I tripped the overheat reset while refilling the water canister and accidentally pressed a cup size selection button.
I followed your video and the steps worked perfectly.
Glad it helped!
Thanks sir - Happy Wife with coffee, Happy Life!
You bet!
Thank you so much. I’m terrible at taking things apart and putting them back together. I’m a long distance truck driver so when the Keurig wouldn’t power up it was crisis mode! I followed your directions and it’s working! 🎉
Looked at a bunch of videos priviously, even called Keurig... all useless. Your video was SPOT ON as to how to fix this. Thank You! pg
You're welcome!
What a great video. I actually returned 3 of these because they stopped working after descaling. Definitely a manufacturing problem. Thanks for producing this.
Thanks for sharing!
My man! Thanks so much for the tutorial! I too finished descaling and the unit tripped. All Keurig wanted to do is sell me a new unit, but thanks to your video my Slim is back in action! Thank you!👍👍👍
One year later, you are still saving lives. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! I was so sad that it stopped working after I descaled it but thanks to you my machine is up and running again. You’re the best! 😭
Glad I could help!
Was nervous about attempting this after my k Slim refused to power on after descaling but holey guacamole it worked like a charm.Thank you!!
Okay everyone, only watch this guy's videos for descaling and fixing your Keurig. The best, thank you!
Thanks for this guide. Bookmarked! Saved me buying a new one (currently $80). Wife (the coffee drinker) is pretty happy, too.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Worked like a charm! Thank you! Coffee is flowing freely once again!
Thank you so much! I have given Keurig so much of my money,I was ready to just live with the old big pot. Im so thankful for your videos.
THANK YOU. mine randomly stopped turning on. Did this, and BOOM WORKED LIKE A CHARM
This video is a year old and still very useful. Thanks a lot for helping fix my slim Keurig, it was very easy.
Thank you so much! We came back to our Florida condo after 6 months away and the Keurig wouldn’t turn on. Thankfully we found your video, followed your steps and voila! Awesome job!
This video deserves many, many more likes! Thank you!
My hero!
Saved me from buying a new keurig.
I did need to reset twice, so recommend trying it before you put everything back together. But overall great video. Thanks!!
