Keurig "hums" away, but won't brew! In 10 sec / NO tools.. Fix your broken Keurig coffee maker!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 ноя 2016
- Went to brew a kcup this morning and noticed the ol' Keurig single cup was humming away, making plenty of noise, but wasn't spitting out any of the hot shit! After watching a few RUclips videos where in they had me unplugging several orifices and needles, I still had NO coffee! Broken! NOT WORKING! as was I going to be if I didn't figure out a way to fix this dang thing quickly! So I used good old Midwestern ingenuity, and I started sticking my fingers into random holes until, low and behold.. she shot hot coffee out er dingamadoo, and I was back in business! The "fix" I show you in this video is essentially demonstrating this concept.. imagine blowing your nose, when both nostrils are full, you can evacuate them by simply blowing into a napkin/sleeve/your friends hair... But, if only 1 nostril is clogged, any time you blow, all the pressure is going to escape the clear nostril.. similar concept with the Keurig... By manually blocking the vent/overflow outlet, I forced the pump to build higher than normal pressure, effectively pushing the blockage out the nozzle. Now, there's a second way this COULD have worked, and it's the exact opposite, if the intake side was clogged with scale and what not, by plugging the overflow, I forced the suction from the pump to build vacuum, thus, clearing out the smookem that was blocking that sucker.
The results were a nice hot cup of coffee, brewed faster and harder than it has in months!
Enjoy! Thanks for watching.
"Hums like a pissed off robot" 😂. That's a very accurate description of what it sounds like
Literally the most useful video I have ever seen on RUclips
Ditto!
Agreed!
Same aside from "waffle falling over"
This guy needs to make many more tutorials with his clever midwest colloquialisms.
@Bobbi Conrad My mom's from Wisconsin and my dad is from Chicago this is definitely Midwest colloquialisms
Todd Mason 😂
Yes he does
@@domjubgwefer Hey now ... it's a universe! :D
I have been trying everything. Your tip on plugging the overflow tubing was exactly as you said. It worked and I than you so much.
The end of the video is more than worth the wait. Hysterical. Very well done!
the wife was like lets go buy a new one and im like yeah okay hang on let me try at least 1 video tut, your video came up first and it worked , im thankful. you saved me $80
chris44gy same here 😂
I told my husband the exact thing 😂😂😂
the EXACT same thing happened to me today!
Same!!!! My best friend was like "but the warning on the bottom says not to take it apart!"
It was like she didn't know me at all 😂
@@luvbaker276screw that warning, it's just so they aren't liable if you screw something up, like cutting your hand on those mini machetes in the k cup holder. 😂
6 years later, you're still a morning saver. Thank you!!
I never ever leave comments but you saved my morning! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊
You saved my holiday weekend, thank you.
I do preventive maintenance, descale, change filters, etc. but this was exactly what I needed this morning. It took a few tries, to get a regular stream, but I have coffee in hand, while I write this. Now, I’m happy!
Blocking the overflow outlet did the trick for me, I had tried the paper clip up the piercing nozzle trick with no change in symptoms, but as soon as I followed your colorfully worded steps and blocked the overflow pipe at the top of the water reservoir, she started pushing water through the K cups correctly. A tip of the hat to you sir, for posting this video!
Jeff Jones Me too
I almost stopped watching this video thinking he was just showing the normal things I had already tried, read about and seen many times but never worked. I was about to take this machine out to the garbage can. I kept watching though and when suggested blocking the overflow, I had no faith that this would possibly work. I tried it and still can't believe that this did the trick. Thank you for the tip.
I had the exact same experience. This fix worked perfectly. Gave the old girl a rescaling with vinegar and she is as good as new
Bravo
I too just used your suggested remedy, and it worked great. Thank you for publishing this quick fix.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Had done all of the paper-clip poking and descaling and all that and was about to give up and buy a new one. Had to run about a gallon of water through while holding the vent, but it worked. You saved me the cost, and the frustration of being beaten by a small appliance.
Easier and far more effective than any other other tips I'd found. This really made a difference for me, thank you.
I’ve never been so thankful for a RUclips tutorial! 😂 complete lifesaver. Thank you!!
Thanks for this - all these years later! LOL I have the Classic and everything else I found to help was for the newer machines. Bless you for this. I had put mine in storage over a year ago because the pods are so expensive. I have one of those refillable pods now and pulled out the Keurig and.. it acted the straight fool! Your video saved me a lot of grief. Peace!
Saved my morning! I spent nearly an hour messing with this thing then decided I'd watch a video and yours came up first and worked instantly! Thank you Soo much!!!
Let me just say ..."You are my hero." I had been messing with the machine all day on and off trying to not let myself get overly frustrated. Hubby just went to bed after asking me to buy another machine. I came upon your video and now it is up and running! Thank you!!
4 years later and still helped, thanks man. I’m not sure what exactly step fixed before I tried the tooth brush on the o rings and some tiny black came out, but then I tried covering the overflow and work like you showed. Thanks again! One happy caffeinated addict!
You’re an absolute lifesaver! I can’t handle the day without my morning coffee and was about to give up and go to wawa, but your video saved the trip. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, my wife and daughter now think I’m a genius for fixing the keurig 😂
Yay!! Your fix was the miracle for my machine I was about to replace!! Plus - super easy to follow!!
This was something so simple that I would not have thought of. Thank you so much for the help
omg!!!! thank you thank you thank you.. i was quite a witch this morning... you have saved my family tomorrow!! lol.. thanks.
Delbi Collins lol I was about to feel the same way.
Lol!
we all need our morn cofee
@@d3vilici0usmami21 t
THANK YOU! Worked like a charm. Thanks for covering all the bases first, though, too, so I could rule them out.
Yahhh....you just saved me a trip to the store...I just got done looking at the keurig at walmart...and said let me youtube this problem....I did as you said ...I blew in the water intake and out came shit from the overflow....bingo you saved my husband's life......your a life saver...my husband and his coffee...thank you once again
6 years later and you're still a life saver. THANK YOU!
Best video yet on how to fix my Keurig. Thanks. :)
"It bypassed out this little sumbitch here". Man you speak my language
yes!
lol
You, sir, are awesome. My machine has been down for about two weeks now, I would fiddle with it here and there, tried cleaning it with vinegar but it would just hum and gurgle away, spewing very little out. Your trick worked wonders and has saved my sanity. I thank you, my children thank you!
Hands down!!!!! Most helpful video 5 years later and still fixing my keurig!!!!
Thanks, Dom. I used compressed air and it did the trick. My Keurig works like new again. Just so everyone knows, there are two lines that need to be cleared out. Put the compressed air tube in each "nostril" of the clear plastic overflow fitting and blow until water shoots out at the pod compartment.
almost 3 yrs and this tip is still top notch!!
Thank you! Years after your posting, your gift keeps on giving!
bro you saved my family from having bad mornings, most helpful video ive seen for this problem so far, did what you did and it fixed itself after. THANK YOU!!!
dude thank you so much
I've been ripping this thing apart for an hour trying to fix it.
Your amazing... I just spent 30 minutes trying to figure this out.. Thank you..
Thank you! That's the exact noise I was trying to describe to my husband on video this a.m. [ I used a sewing needle because I didn't have a paper clip]
lol thanks to you I single handedly got it done and I'm now enjoying my
coffee-again 🙂 - the needle point thingy was clogged!
Watched the video, had the exact symptoms, went to my machine, followed your instructions, worked like a charm! Absolute genius!
Thank you, you just saved my quarantined life! XD For anyone else watching this, I tried just covering the little rubber overflow spout thingy but the second I let go it stopped working. I tried several times, and this was a workaround but not a fix. So I wondered if blowing into the intake was part of the solution. I did it, and yes some water came out of the overflow spout. Afterward I could see that water was sitting in the spout, essentially blocking it the same way that my finger would be. So after that I tried to brew, and it came out fine and normal. So I'm really grateful! Also, to those of you who said you saved them from buying a new machine... Keurigs have a lifetime warranty. You can literally bring it in to any store that sells them and they will give you a new one of comparable model for free. You do not need to register the machine, have a receipt for it, or return it to the same place where it was purchased. My first Keurig was a gift from an ex boyfriend and I didn't have any information on where it was purchased, no less a receipt. Someone told me the same, so I skeptically brought it to a Bed Bath and Beyond, and lo and behold it was true! They simply gave me a new machine, and I even got an upgrade because the comparable model was out of stock. I've had to exchange my Keurig twice so far, and had we not been on lockdown for COVID-19, I would have done it again today! But thank you very much @domjubgwefer for showing me how to get this old machine moving again. :)
I had the same problem. Would work when I plugged it but not when I let go. After blowing in the intake it works great! Thanks for both the initial fix and this follow up post! :)
I cant express my gratitude enough. Mine stop working like this months ago and due to depression and short temper it collected dust since so I came across your video got up and followed your steps and it brewed I got coffee. Im so incredibly thankful you just saved me so much money I been buying coffee everyday
You are the greatest of all time 🐐!!! I was just about to throw mine away. I bless you, your family and your future lineage. A million 🙏
So was I lol. Thank god for this guy
Thank you so much for this repair video. I like others have been working on this for 2 hours and was about to go buy a new one; $130+. Saw this; tried it and my 9 year old Keurig is working great. Thank you! Thank you!
I was just about to disassemble my Keurig when I found your video. I tried your steps and it worked perfectly. I had to repeat a couple of times though. Thank you for saving my Keurig since I probably would have destroyed it. Keurig should post this on their website.
Yeah but if Keurig posts this trick on their website they will sell fewer new replacement units...
thank you so much i have done all other de scaling in the past but this time nothing, this did the trick. and now life can go on lol
Emergency averted! I was close to giving up and about to carry out one last attempt involving a air compressor, a funnel, and a vinegar solution. I already had the old school coffee pot out for tomorrow morning. Back to the cupboard with you, no peasants here!!! Thank you so much!
Worked like a charm! Husband blew through the drain and water squirted out. Simply genius. Was ready to buy my mom a new Keurig. So glad I found your video. Many thanks!
First of all. You’re hilarious. Secondly, thank you! This fixed my problem!
OMG....my favorite part is the ending..."Enjoy your Chinese made piece of shit coffee maker". Thank you for the no muss no fuss to the point solution!
This was so comical....I agree - this was straight to the point and very helpful
rofl same
me too that was great!
My wife wanted to toss her reasonably new Keurig out. It was doing exactly what yours was doing. For whatever reason, after the second attempt, it worked for me this afternoon, even before I watched your video. I suspected that something was gummed up internally. I will try your method tomorrow morning. MANY THANKS for sharing this, its a great troubleshooting video!
Thank you so much...it worked...I really appreciate people like you who make videos that help out...without having us pay for it.
Like you, I tried the other quick fixes for no hot water/coffee coming out. Your video pointed me in the right direction. With the water tank removed I took a turkey baster bulb and force air down the check valve. A very small chunk of crud came out. The rest of it was forced into the plumbing. The next time it clogs it will likely be the needle jets, but it work for now.
I actually took the tiny 2 screws from the top to remove the top to expose the water hoses. I saw that there were grinds. I squeezed it and it released the clog and run several cups of water . squeezed while water was going thru... just watch the screws...easy to drop.
Works beautifully now.
hey lady, you saved my ass! thanks :)
Yes! I am going to try your way too. I’ve been fighting it this way and it works for awhile and starts doing it all over again and mostly in days I’m running late. Ain’t nobody got time for that!! Thank you 😊
Thought mine was ready for the trash heap! Worked for my morning joe then in the afternoon I got a hum but no brew. Decided to look at RUclips as I have discovered there is a RUclips for everything. Yours came up first and thanks to your under 4 minute fix I was joyfully enjoying an afternoon cuppa within minutes. Thank you!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I've been fighting with mine for over an hour now and this did the trick. Can't believe it was such a simple fix. I took it apart and everything, lol.
"Chinese POS coffee maker" hahahaha! Thanks for the laugh and great tips.
Actually it's built like a tank, it's the gunk in our water that is the problem
LOL yes that made me laugh
ascegan mine’s been going strong for like ten years, I think it is the original model
Yes that’s so true China makes everything!!😂😂😂
Thanks my friend! I tried your solution and it WORKED!!!
I watched your video, went downstairs, did what you did and now I am enjoying my fresh cup of coffee. 👍🏻 Thank you 😊
As a guy who also understands fluid dynamics. I'm just grateful you did all the troubleshooting for me. The version I had, had an overflow opening that was much smaller. I never even noticed it. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks bud. Worked for me.
THANK YOU!!!!!! I was about to pull my damn hair out. I thought, "just ONE more video".
Thank you for posting this easy-to-understand fix! Wow, I had this problem this morning for the first time, did what you said, and it worked!! You are funny and a genius - thank you!
Mine went out yesterday and I was about to give it away for parts. Your tutorial looked similar to my situation, and it worked great! Thank you for posting!
Watched several of the videos. Your info about the air seems to have done the trick. Thanks!
Great solution so many fixes say the same thing check the bottom check the top piercer to see if it is clogged. Plus it does not involve anything more than your finger! The First thing I would try.
domjubgwefer good rant. hope you feel better now!
Well, just like many of the other comments. I had me a new machine picked out on Amazon, but decided to watch one last video before buying it. Your video has saved us all money. Thank you very much, sir.
OMG this worked immediately. Thank you so much for taking your time to learn this and helping the rest of the world. You are out here doing God's work.
Okay, so I want to add to this remedy. It didn't really work for me, but with the concept in mind. I tried something that I think did help. See if you can follow me without the aid of a video. When I put the water reservoir in place, I saw a little water bubble up from the bottom. Water still wouldn't flow to the cup. So I kept sort of lifting the reservoir up enough to cause the bubbles again and again. It seemed to loosen something up. Soon the water began to trickle; this is when I employed the remedy suggested in this video. Success!
You my friend are a freakin' genius. Did the descale routine, disassembled the filters, everything check good. I was on the verge of replacing the pump until I tried your tip. K40 works like it should again. Happy wife = happy life. Thank you for sharing this awesome fix. Keurig will prolly try to have you banned from YT. LOL
Went to my friends. Hers was not working for awhile. Watched your video and it was fixed in under 10 min!!! She said thank you!!!!
Dude!!! My wife watch your video and would like to say THANK YOU! and so do I! You are a rockstar!
Oh my goodness. I have had my Keurig since 2013. I have coddled it with brand name bottled water, routinely cleansed with vinegar, used only Gevalia pods. However, output diminished & coffee is bitter. I did not realize that plastic doo hickey was a vent, thought it held cover. I just did your technique & seems to work, as now much stronger. Will try with coffee pod in AM. I have new Keurig Slim coming, as has no holding tank & I wonder what lives in my interior holding tank?
Remember the percolator = no fuss. Jeanne
Awesome!!!! Works like a charm. Pretty smart to figure that one out !!!Five stars !!
Thanks, I love your voice and manner. I think you make 100% sense and have been experiencing the same problems of not brewing. I'm going to try your tip and will keep you posted!
I had the exact same problem. I watched several videos, and this is the one which fixed my coffee machine. I had to do it about 5 times, putting my finger over the overflow pipe and each time I pushed the large coffee cup button. On the fifth time, I pushed the small cup button and it worked perfectly. This is a real fix. Thank you domjubfwefer!
Didn't know Ricky from trailer park boys did keurig tutorial videos
Daniel Thrasher lol thats what I was thinking bubs lol
He sounds just like him
@@jessajessabell6404 I was thinking the same thing! haha
😂
Totally worked🙂 I had to unplug and replug mine to trigger suction action.
Kerurig works fine and a long time, use purified water or distilled. If it gets slow or no operation blast air into the point or location where coffee is suspended that will open up the dispenser nozzle. Enjoy the coffee. HH
Vandenn Krouch - thank you. Along with the above video and your advice of uplugging and repluggin my machine, I now have a working machine again!! Thank you so much!
Hey, thanks for your video. I haven't used my Keurig in about 2 years. I was gonna clean it and it wouldn't brew. Your video did the trick, now it's all clean and ready to go for the morning
Omg it worked so well thank u so much I bought my keurig from goodwill and had it for three weeks and couldn't get it to work and I was going to consider it a lost but I was on the toilet and I was like let me try again and I look at your video and it worked like a charm thank u so much💯💪💯💪💯💪💯💪💯💪💪💪💯💪💯💯💯💯💯
Im laughing and my machine works again 💪🏼 thanks!
I tried this a couple of times now and it works as long as I have my finger on the overflow, but as soon as I let go it doesn't. I've cycled a full tank of water as well as a full tank of water vinegar mix through and it still is giving me a hard time. Any suggestions?
You’re a genius! Also the unplugging the power cord trick from someone below helped. I was losing my mind!!
The overflow outlet did the trick for me too! Thank you so much because I thought I broke my work Keurig and was freaking out. THANK YOU!
This fix didn't work for me. I also tried what I saw on another video, cleaning off the spring at the bottom of the tank. I've tried everything to no avail. I think I may just need to buy another one. I may try the Keurig help line but I am not hopeful that they will be of much assistance.
It is a mystery to me why Keurig machines are so popular. They are costly, and seem to be prone to numerous problems.
EPA18 totally agree too expensive reg coffee pot is the best
Because it brews a cup at a time? Making a whole pot always went to waste with only my husband and I waking a different times in the morning.
Kim Cobb-Adams yes what you said! I'm the only one who drinks the coffee. It's easy, fast and convenient.
It tastes 100% better than burnt regular brewed coffee.
Seriously Keurig is like the Mercedes of coffee machines. Expensive and always break.
😃 It works! You’re a 100% life and coffee saver! Wife’s loving it, thanks. 👍🏽
Best, clearest, most amusing and helpful video on this subject. Thank you!
Okay..... first off it's not "skookum" you're removing....it's "schmoo" you're removing....it didn't "chootch" because it was clogged with "schmoo"...but thanks to your tip...(just the tip and only for a minute) the Keurig now "chooches" again and that is skookum....as frig.
oneloveinus YOU, (myfriend) WIN the comment section for this video. I realized my error almost immediately after saying it, but I shot the entire video in a single take, and I figured not many people would "get" the somewhat obscure reference anyway, so I left it in. but.. regardless of the error, I've been waitin' since Christ was a COWBOY for someone to notice the references in this video to my favorite RUclipsr (and personal "shop-hero") AvE!
AvE (aka ArduinoVersesEvil) is..
a welder, mechanic, machinist, fabricator, electrician, mathematician, innovator, artist, designer, tester, breaker, thinker, maker, etc etc..
And besides that, what makes him a good RUclipsr, is he is ALSO a genius, and great teacher, who's funny, entertaining, and exciting to watch/learn from.
One of my favorite attributes of Ave, by far, is his nutty, yet brilliant sense of humor, and his common-sense approach to every topic he raises in his videos.
If anyone here likes "shop-talk" about everything from design, engineering & science, to building & fabrication, to tools, computers, or (my favorite), simply just showing people how commonly over-looked items around them, actually "tick" inside, and what makes them "chooch" or if they work REALLY well.. what makes them a "skookum-choocher"!
Anyway.. thanks for the comment!
And everyone else, go check out AvE's channel here:

Nothing like a pissed off robot,Son of a Bitch coffee maker lol
Thanks for this comment. I was looking for someone who noticed and was surprised how far down in the comments it was.
What the reason for this? How do you do the repair, does anyone have any idea so you dont have to squeeze things to get it to work
Chris did it work for you? If it didn’t. Go ahead and blow air into the little rubber vent hole. Take off the filter inside the water chamber with the three little screws first. Go ahead and wash it. If you have a compress can of air. Go ahead and use that. If not use a straw to blow through it. I believe there is two holes in the vent go ahead and do both sides make sure you put a cup in the dispenser area. That will help clear out any junk inside.
OMG, so happy I found this video. It actually worked! Tonight was the last try and if it didn't work, it was going in the trash. I have tried multiple times to fix it and nothing worked. So THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
The best tutorial!! I found this technique after i watched another one that required me to tear the whole thing apart. This worked like a charm😍
I'm just so upset because I've looked through all the comments and I think my Keurig is being a little more stubborn than everyone else's because this didn't fix it for me. I just keep burning my finger :(
Same issue here did you ever fix it?
@@user-xv1cs9mm9dMy keurig didn’t have any luck here either. I found that the needle at the bottom wasn’t puncturing the bottom of the cup, but when I did it myself with a knife, it worked. See if that’s the problem.
You sir fixed my 2 week old keurig. thank you. made sure to come back and click on an ad or two so you get revenue. cant thank you enough...
These problems usually start around the 366th day of using it, you know the day after the warranty is up.
haha thats very true
Oh Thanks Brotha, but.. I don't monetize my videos! They're there to be consumed by the masses.. FREE of charge, and FREE of corporate shill! Enjoy. :-)
Oom Gandalf They shld be kept the damn design the same .. the more technical the more stuff can go wrong my friend has one and has had it for 3yrs no issues

Excellent Fix!!! Was getting ready to replace my Cusinart Keurig Coffee maker(very sturdy, well built)after trying several trouble shooting fixes without success. Then I found this one!!! Worked Wonderfully!! This saved my favorite coffee maker💖Thank you!!!
This is a fantastic post. I appreciate the troubleshooting that domjubgwefer provided.
I still had an issue with the pump not working. At 1:50 of the video the recommendation was to blow water into the intake hole.
I was unable to reach it so my son and I used a bicycle tire pump with a strip of saran wrap as a gasket. We pumped a number of times and blew out some crud. I really took a lot of force to clear it out but now it is working perfectly.
I hope this comment is helpful and am very grateful for the time domjughwefer took to direct me to the right troubleshooting area!
You have Hard water this is a problem for keurig
My deep artesian well water is so rich with minerals, it kills all appliances that pump water. I just live with it, accepting I'll be buying a new one sooner than planned obsolescence mandates. Even old stove top percolators have to be de-scaled frequently. On the plus side, the water tastes good and makes good coffee.
I’ll be a SOB your simple fix worked. Thanks for posting, stay safe so I can follow your future fixes when needed.
Thank you for sharing out this fix. It worked for my machine. And now I have a hot cup of coffee this morning. ☕️
Thank you SO much. Holding up the white plastic overflow worked for me and I am delighted!
Thank you for your information! I had that problem this morning and your concept worked! It is pouring even faster than it did before! 👍☕☕
OMG, someone give this man a medal
Cleaned my machine today, went to descale with vinegar and nothing would happen. After watching a couple fix videos that didn't work, I found yours and badda boom my machine is back in action! Thank you!
Thank you, thank you! I hadn't used my machine for over 3 months, and when I cleaned it and tried to start it up, it wouldn't brew. I found your video and voila! it works! Thank you, again!
