I realize I’m a few years late, these things are not designed to be taken apart, they are a beast. It was interesting to decipher how these things work, discovering how all the air pumps, water pumps, solenoids worked was fun. My thoughts for a project is to rebuild into a kind of steampunk coffee maker and program an Arduino to control it. Thanks for the video.
I just destroyed my single serve unit. I plan to use the heater unit for a solder bowl, water pump for my cooler unit, and the hose is perfect for piping my butane soldering iron to a larger tank. Great video btw!! U sure are patient. In the first ten minutes I pulled out the large screwdriver and the side cutters!! 😆👍👍👍
Finally got around to taking this model apart last night...what a pain. But, what a nice little goldmine of quality parts for future projects. I now understand better why these things cost so much.
Oh so true... on all parts. Thank you for watching and taking the time to post a comment. If you come up with something fun to do with the parts I'd love to hear about it.
Just disassembled the exact same model yesterday. I don't know yet what I will do with the electronic components salvaged. I decided a while ago I would not throw away electronic devices without taking them apart and salvaging parts for other projects. Watching your video helped identifying some components. Let us know what projects you ended-up doing with with the salvaged parts.
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Love to hear that feedback. The pumps and solenoids I've been salvaging I have ear marked for some silly water feature or toy kind of ideas but have yet to do them. I will try to make sure to call out where parts came from when I use them in other videos. If you end up using the parts for some fun stuff, I'd love to hear about it!
Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate the feedback. This is a good reminder too because I wanted to tinker with that water heater... I put it in a box and forgot. Time to go search my spare parts. If I come up with something to do with it I will do a follow-up video.
I dismantled a B70 today. Only thing salvageable was the transformer, water pump and one solenoid. Air pump and other solenoid were destroyed by a leaking solenoid. I was able to repair one K70 with the one working solenoid and keep one out of the landfill at least and recycled the rest of the plastic parts.
Nice fix on the 2nd machine! They don't make these things easy to get into to repair though do they? After a few minutes I wanted to rip the case apart. Your comment was a good reminder that I have another broken one that was given to me for salvage (I want to see if I can figure a project using the heating tank). Thanks for taking the time to share your comment, I appreciate it!
I attempted to make an outdoor shower using the 2 or 3 of its small 12v pumps and the water tank/element. I did it without any type of thermostat and after testing , the element inside got extremely hot and melted The plastic portion above it. It did however work for 5 minutes. had I put a programmable thermostat and larger pump it would have worked. Not sure how long by pushing the element assets design capabilities but it was a garbage Keurig anyway. the amount of water was not impressive but it was enough to take a emergency shower.
Reason I was here is to see what inner parts are bad 4u,like is there any alluminum- didn't see any. So what could u use air pump for in future project ?
Is there a good site for tinkerers/repurposer types? I know instructible and hack a day but I'd like to find a forum where people are doing some junkyard low tech possibly even dangerous packs on appliances and such making them into other things.
Thank you very much! I have been playing around with the parts for a bunch of different things including a mini fountain. I have used tubing and other odds and ends to fix some different devices too. I still have not figured out what I want to do with the heating unit though.
The one I took apart plugs into main AC outlet. I did not test to see how many amps it draws when in use though. Thanks for taking time to post a comment, I appreciate it.
What are the specs for the pump? I stripped one of these down a couple years ago for the parts and now am thinking about making a siphon pump out of the keurig pump to transfer wine from carboy to bottle.
Sorry for the delay in reply... the pump is a 12v, high output. Were you looking for more details in terms of specs or does that kinda cover it? Let me know how use as a transfer pump works... sounds like a cool idea.
Hi, I've been trying to reverse engineer parts of what's likely either a B31 or K15 Keurig. I've been able to get the LEDs on the brew button to light up using voltage into black wires, and grounded on the red. Thought this was really weird color-wise (as I'd expect the ground to be black) - have you noticed anything similar on your adventure here or elsewhere?
That is a really good question. I seem to recall that there were green ground wires on this particular model but I can speak to the other lines running true to typical colors. Yes, I have seen some really weird wiring colors in commercial products. Portable heaters are great examples. I have found all power lines in a unit the same color in multiple heaters. One had reddish-brown, another was blue and another was some sort of off gray. Always makes me chuckle and wonder how many times lines were messed up during assembly. Best of luck with the reverse engineering!
@@DialedInDIY Thanks! Seems to have worked with the red acting as ground, but still wonder if I somehow got things confused in a strange way that still lets it work...
@@JeremyCook So glad it worked out. I've definitely been there... scratching my head because something worked but I am not completely sure why. Hope all is well.
I plugged the coffee machine into 220v electricity instead of 110v, so it's broken. I think I need to change the fuse wire, but I don't know where it is and how to get this part. Can you help? Thank you!
That is actually a great question. I had come across an informative site that covered fuses and it might help: www.singleservecoffeeforums.com/post95512.html
Hi Kaylee Zhang... sorry, I forgot to answer the second part of your question. I've seen on several forums that people can't find replacement parts for interior components from the manufacturer. I have, however, seen used parts show up on ebay and other sites. But, my first suggestion is to look for burnt out components once you have the machine opened up. It could be a fried circuit board.
Good question and unfortunately I do not recall clearly what was connected to what... but I still have most of those parts so I will take another look to see if I can find out more info (Please let me know if you already got your answer). If not, then does anyone else have any info on this Q?
Thank you for answering. I found out Finally that the RP is for the momentary power switch on the back. Thank you. I repaired it and it works just fine now.

I would be very interested in a video just explaining the water heater, it’s been hard to find information on it. Great video

More about the heating element please and thank you.

This was great. I subbed. What did you end up doing with these parts? I’m about to take one to pieces. I’m hoping to make a plant watering device

Those silicone fittings are amazing!
How is this powered? It just uses mains and sends it to the rest of the circuit. How many amps can it pull?

What is the max. pressure output?

I am not sure which model you have but that link is focused on the "Dissassembly + Repair Guide - Keurig B70 Platinum"

What is the Rp plug connected to on the power board ? I really need to know this can anyone help please and thank you
