The flow meter detects reduced flow signaling the maker to do the five beeps. I went through six videos, including yours, and I cleaned the metal hose and the scale off in three different ways. It worked for a week before the beep came back. I told Ninja on Twitter about it, and others did, too. Template response. Treated you like a generic customer and not a person. If they would've responded on Twitter with real solutions, I'd have stuck with it, but when the beep came back after a week, I said, "Okay, that's it." I later bought an Aeropress for $30 and it makes better coffee, faster (as fast as you can get hot water), quieter, and you can take it anywhere. That said, thanks for the video, Roger. It helped.
Thanks, brother, I tried everything, and I ended up using your method with a small sink air plunger, and it fixed my old and newer machines. Nothing worked even straight CLR.
Quick insight on why this works: - There's a hose attached to underneath where you blew - This hose connects to a flow meter (Google "ab32 s21p030c 11R" you'll see a doc explaining that it's a flow meter used for coffee makers that use "vibration pumps". The 30c is the opening in mm (3.0mm), 11R is the angle (w/e that means) and AB32 represents a model. - The insight of the coffee maker gets reeeeeallly scaly, and I think scale clogs up the hose - I think clogging up the hose causes the flow meter to register as "too low of flow" - The coffee pot takes this signal, shuts it off, and gives you the five beeps. So I think five beeps simply means inadequate flow, usually caused by scale. If this doesn't work, finding a way to blow descaler into the same spot that you blew air in could save some people some time, but I don't know how to cleanly push vinegar/descaler in there, so I took the bottom apart pulled the hose out, filled a Sriracha bottle w/ vinegar, and used that to blast vinegar through it. After putting it back together, it worked.
Dude....I believe that will work but I found a faster way. I was watching Forensic Files and there was an episode where someone used anti-freeze. It is faster and is virtually untraceable. So like you, I have a backup coffee maker. I made sure my family used the Ninja, but I used the backup. Within 2 days, it worked like a charm. I have since sold everything, bought a bitchin' motorcycle, and I am now cruising the USA free as a bird. I owe it all to my POS $145 Ninja coffee maker that died after 2 years. I am so grateful that my $20 Mr. Coffee, from 1979, still works. I now keep that in my saddle bag in case I decide to get married & have kids again. Thanks dude...you rock!
I too, use a CLR type product. Saw a lot of stuff come out. Lots of crystals. Still couldn't get a full cycle. Watched this video and blew into the part he suggested. Think I have it going now. Thanks!!
Are you guys sure you should be putting CLR near your food ? I think it says on the bottle not to ingest? I used a weak sulfamic acid ("Lime-Away") mixed with water. (Not Sulfuric) they make citric acid that you can use too. Then after the sulfamic acid/water solution broke up most of it, I rinsed it with a 50/50 mix of strong white vinegar & water. I did this until the solution that came out was clear, and then I rinsed it with water a few times, until it stopped tasting and smelling like vinegar. I am sure CLR works great, but I am not so sure that it's a good idea to get it near your mouth, skin, or food. If you feel you need to use CLR on your coffee maker, at least ask the maker of the machine if it is safe. CLR claims that all coffee makes that hold water should not be cleaned with CLR because it is toxic and some of it can get trapped inside the internal heating element chamber and water pump. Be Careful With That Stuff.
@@JaneDoe-sunshineinflorida ...as long as it's the kind that doesn't hold water inside the machine between brews. They have a list of does and don'ts on their page. I wouldn't go using it every time.
But I did find that running and LEAVING vinegar sitting in my machine for over an hour helped..along with blowing on that black springy thing. So thank you for that 🙂🙂
Check inside the water reservoir, the white dome is a strainer. Around the sides, are 4 fine screens that are designed to stop any particles. If you use your pot to fill the reservoir, it's probable that coffee grounds have clogged the screens. Symptoms include 5 beeps of death, your machine won't brew a full pot and it makes alot of steam. The screen is pretty difficult to clean as there isn't much room.
The problem I'm having is with the drip stop... Maybe its connects somehow. Brew half a pot then the drip stop starts blinking...wont brew...it doesn't shut off just stops. Slide the basket in and out...maybe flip the drip stop switch back and forth and it works again...but only for a few seconds! Making me mad!
@@-nobody6272 the drop stop uses a magnetic Reed switch. It can be adjusted or bypassed. Take the drop tray apart. You will see the magnet and metal strip. Move the magnet closer to the metal strip.
Hey Roger - another RUclipsr posted a much simpler and faster fix by just flipping the machine upside down while pressing in the black button valve where the water reservoir tank pushes into. Didn't have to take anything apart and solved the 5 beeps problem in 10 seconds. I'm sure your fix works great as well but just wanted to give guys another much simpler fix...and no CLR or running through 5 pots needed!

Thanks so much Roger, my Ninja is up and running again. So happy I found this video.
Glad we're not the only one's in DFW with a hard water problem. Our coffee makers always get scaled up SO quickly.
I knew you had to be from Texas when I heard you start the video :) Thanks for the tips.
Thank you, Roger!!! My Ninja is finally working in cleaning mode instead of shutting down. Thank you!!!
Quick insight on why this works:
- There's a hose attached to underneath where you blew
- This hose connects to a flow meter (Google "ab32 s21p030c 11R" you'll see a doc explaining that it's a flow meter used for coffee makers that use "vibration pumps". The 30c is the opening in mm (3.0mm), 11R is the angle (w/e that means) and AB32 represents a model.

dude you saved me and my wife some money and prevented her from throwing the thing out the window your a blessing!
I’m so on the fence about buying this ! It’s exactly what I need but so worried about these malfunctions. Do you love yours ? Is it worth it ? Help!
Mine is working again!
Thanks dude!
You saved me from insanity !!
Thank u mr walter white lol blowing in it really hard actually worked. Just saved me 21 dollar shipping fee for the warranty
This is a great video. Thanks Roger!

I see you!🤣

I used a tumbler straw to blow through the water intake, worked like a charm! Thanks so much.
Thank you! Blowing into the unit worked!
Omg! I watched like ten videos and I tried your way and it worked! Haha awesome! Thanks for the video
How do you get rid of the Clean light?

Be Careful With That Stuff.
I ran 15-20 full containers of water thru it afterwards to flush any CLR out afterwards
CLR says you can use it in your coffee pot right in the label it even gives instructions for it .
@@JaneDoe-sunshineinflorida ...as long as it's the kind that doesn't hold water inside the machine between brews. They have a list of does and don'ts on their page.
I wouldn't go using it every time.
Oh that’s definitely good to know thanks for that tip . I didn’t know that . Although I’ve already done it about 100 times in the old keurig🥺
@@JaneDoe-sunshineinflorida ya.. i'd just call the company and make sure. just because you did it a bunch doesn't mean it's less toxic.
I use my compressor the blow it out...That worked best for me. Thank you!
