I’m about to throw mine in the trash... their customer service is so poor , RUclips is a much better source of help! Thank you!
Just add an easier unclog tip to this great video ,,, at around the 7:10 min mark when you see mike pinching that 90 degree bend in the rubber tube you’ll notice 2 smaller Phillips head screws just behind there. Remove those and then you can remove that whole needle assembly ( very easy too ) and use vinegar or CLR mixed with hot water to clean that out completely. I tested mine at that point as well by holding the rubber tube that comes from inside the reservoir and ran a few cups of my cleaning fluid ( CLR ) and confirmed it flowing freely.
Re-Assemble and your machine is like new again.
Thanks Mike for the video.
Very Helpful.
This really helped me this morning. I followed all your instructions and now I drinking my coffee. Thanks
Thank you; thank you; thank you! I cannot tell you how badly I needed a cup of coffee this instant. Every other solution I saw online failed me. This was the one that worked.
I came across your video I just purchased a new Keurig during the Black Friday sale I had a old Keurig elite I did what you suggest in your video and unclog my old Keurig machine and I had nothing to lose I tried it it works perfect I wish I would have came across your video before I purchase a new Keurig thank you so so much please keep that video up to help others like myself🙏
You saved my machine from the garbage.. and me about $130 for a brand new kurig. Thanks
This is a game changer for me. I'm a professional field technician and I come across this issue constantly. Really nice to know about that internal clog. (We don't get much in the way of training, so it's more of a figure it out on your own thing). I think you just solved at least 80% of my Keurig issues! Thanks for the video!
Good Really hi I have the classic red one and a year ago I stupidly put milk instead of water because some one said it could do good for hot cocoa I cleaned and cleaned it I thought I had cleaned it enough but when I’m trying to using it now it still had milk in it and it’s clogged some where and I don’t know how to take it apart please tell me I can still save it
@@jarodwoods3650 Sounds like a lost cause. I'd throw it out and get a new one. You've probably got coagulated milk proteins built up in your boiler valves, and you'd have to tear the entire machine apart to clean it all out.
@Good Really I’m trying to fix it I got it for Christmas and I doubt they get me another one I got to the hose part but i don’t know hot to take the hose off to get the water out
@@jarodwoods3650 You'd have to tear the whole thing down to get all of the milk residue out. It got heated up in the boiler and most likely gunked up everything.
Luke thanks for trying to help it probably would have worked but then the kids got into the pieces I put up and I thought i had to throw it away and after that I found the pieces
Several years ago I found your video. I followed your steps. It unclogged my Keurig. My Keurig clogged again. I'm glad I saved this video. Thanks for the video
Dude many thanks!! My friend was about to the Keurig to the curb and I said let me look at it!!! Now my girl has a Keurig!!!
This video was the best. My Kuerig was not filling up the flow to the cup after cleaning. I removed the top part as shown and that solved my problem...THANK YOU...and keep them coming.
OMG! I just fixed my Keurig by watching this video! I was ready to trash it and this actually worked and I did it myself! So proud...Thank you so very much!
same here!!!!
I was also ready to throw mine away. This was the 3rd video I had watched. It's working perfectly now. Thank you.
I just did this to the Keurig at my job!! It worked perfectly :-) I told my manager I am so adding handy-woman to my resume. Thank you so much for your video!!
I just moved and I have been without my coffee for a week. I unpacked it, went to use it and it was clogged. I tried a few things but with no luck - the baster part saved my life and I can now enjoy my coffee as we unpack. LIFE SAVER. Thank you!
Awesome thanks for the video! You help me fix my Keurig didn't realize it was such a simple fix I thought maybe the pump went since mine wasn't even dripping any water. But this fix worked! Thanks again
Thank you I just bought this machine at Salvation Army for $5 and water wasn’t coming out! Saw your video and fixed it and also was able to give it a complete cleaning! Now I got a perfect machine! Yeah!!!
Nothing like being able to repair your coffee maker to bring a feeling of some control over your life in these crazy times. RUclips heroes like you are Pandemic depression busters! (That is one of your super powers-I am sure you have more.) Thank you. Seriously-this is awesome!!
wow thank you! be well, be safe
Thanks. It took longer to watch your video than to repair my Keurig following your instructions. That’s a compliment. Very thorough and effective!
Wow!!! Thank u so much! This worked....your video is still changing lives all these years later!🎉❤ Great job! I had to work at it for quite a while, and then finally success. ❤❤❤
The paper clip trick worked. I ran the paper clip up into the three holes round the needle and it cleared it and now my wife is a happy camper!
My Keurig had quit and I assumed that the pump was out and I was ready to throw it away. Your video was a great source of information and this 70+ grandmother fixed it herself. It’s now working as good as new thank you so much for your very helpful demo.
Oh my...Thank You,Thank You, Thank You ! The last time this happened I put it in the trash. I now have a smaller one cup Keurig. Thank you so much for saving the day. I am a coffee lover and I can't go without my Keurig. I just fixed mine in about 10 mins. Holding it upside down really did the trick. After that it started running perfect. Thanks again for this video. I think I will just leave my cover off so I can always see it when it starts to clog. LoL. Thanks !!!!
I took my top cover off like you did, and as it turns out, the valve was stuck. All I had to do was flick it and bang on it, and she runs like a champ!
This is the 5th "fix Keurig" video I've watched and it's the only one that fixed mine. I had a feeling that something was clogged. When I squeezed the elbow in the top carriage a bunch of coffee grounds came out, just like yours. I've now run 5 cups of water without issue. Thanks for the fix. FWIW, the Keurig company replaces them if under warranty and just tells you to throw the old one away. They don't even want it back for refurbishment. That's our disposable economy for you.
Thank you. I had slightly different problem. I was out of town for about two months, and when I was back, my machine didn't work pretty much the same way. However, in my case it wasn't coffee but stuck cylinder inside of that wider pipe you can see on your video. It didn't want to move forward, therefore it did not allow the water to flow. The solution was to run the machine, and as it wanted to push the water forward, I gently squeezed that wider part with a sort of cylinder inside. Then the cylinder once again started moving forward as the water flowed (and it backs up when the water doesn't flow). My machine is now working beautifully.
Your video enabled me to fix a trashed Keurig I picked up. I went one step further than yourself--I actually unclipped the tubing (maybe a little tricky for some? Care required.) With tubing loose, I gently pushed through a paper clip through the needle from above (lots of impacted grounds came out) until perfectly clean, swapped the tube out a bit with a QTip, reclipped the tubing and repeatedly ran the machine without a Kcup. That flushed out the remaining grounds. Works like new now. THANK YOU!
I have one remaining question: How does the water level in the catch tray work? Mine seems to be missing its little metal piece with a red surround. Ordered a used replacement on eBay, but is something else missing as well? Hmmm...
This is EPIC! I was ready to toss this in the trash until I found your video! Thank you! Of course I showed it to my husband and he followed along and YES it worked! Saved us money and we have delicious coffee again!
After storing my Keurig for 6 months, I could hear it working but it wasn't pouring coffee into my cup. Instead it was draining the hot water back into the reservoir thru the vent. Watching your video did the trick, even though all the areas you mentioned - the needle and rubber tube weren't obviously clogged, I still did the paper clip task and also squeezed ALL the rubber hoses, including the inline filter?/valve? unit (not sure what it is) next to the elbow you were focusing on. It worked like a champ when I reassembled it. My unit is an older model and I had to remove the lever/handle to get the top off. This required a torx head screwdriver. I also needed to squeeze the sides of the top and pull back slightly to remove it after removing the 2 screws underneath as you showed. Thanks for the video.
That's great! glad the video was helpful
Thank you. This is exactly what was wrong. Mine has a descale light that never lit up. I was looking for a new Keurig online when I found the vid on RUclips. Saved me time and money.
Thanks so much for posting this! I have a K70 model which looks like the one in your video. It stopped working yesterday and I was going to trash it like the two other Keurig machines I bought within the last seven years. I started looking online and didn't like the new 2.0 models that seem to be not as good, but have more bells and whistles. I followed your instructions and my K70 is back up and running perfectly! I wish I had known this years ago. It might have saved me from trashing my other machines, lol. Thanks again!
Almost the same story. My roommate trashed his after he had it about 1 year. I bought the new one, and a year later...I found this vid while shopping online for a new one. 1 paperclip later...
Ahhhhhh yeah! Sweet.
Thanks for your tip, I fixed our Keurig, now for a cup of coffee!
Thank you so much for your grear explanations. You saved my coffee maker from joining the other ones gone o the trash.
Thanks! You just saved me $150! Thought I was going to have to buy a new one, but thanks to you, I now have coffee!!
Was about to chuck mine out. Thank god I found your video. All fixed now. Many thanks 💜
You are my fav person right now.....3days no coffee,i was going bonkers. Your troubleshooting worked! Thanks
Did the paper clip trick, and punched a hole in the elbow tube. Oops! So taking the top off and watching the water flow, combined with pinching the water line to increase suction, and clearing the pathways with the paper clip did work! The wife is enjoying a cup of cocoa. Thanks for the help!!
You do have to be mindful that the tubing is plastic 😄 so glad that the video helped somewhat - take care
Best freaking video ever!!!! Even after 7 years 👍
I got mine from another department at work. They bought a new one and they thought this one was dead. I just cleaned it watching your video. I will bring it back to the office on Monday, the counselor and I will be so happy to have a “new” Keurig LOL , thanks for sharing your video.
I just saved $100.00 by watching this video. Prior to the complete shut down of my Keurig it was not brewing the appropriate cup size. Thank you for showing the steps for taking this thing apart.
Kuerig was making the fill noise without actually filling and was not drawing any water. This video corrected the issue. Thanks Guy!
I was ready to throw mines away and go get an old fashion coffee pot, before I came across your video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Mike, you are a STUD. I followed your instructions and my Keurig is flowing with coffee again! You saved the day!
LOL awesome
Thank you so much! I was about to throw my keurig away and then saw your video. This is the only video on internet that solves clogging problem.
I opened the head, unscrewed the silicone hose holder, slid up the hose cuff then popped out the tip of the hose to inspect it. There was a back up of brewing material. Took a straw brush and ran it through the rubber tube. Ta-da!!!! Running like a charm.
Ohhhhhhh thank you so much, Darling. Now I can fix my Sister's Keurig maker she was going to toss it out the door . Smiling . You saved the day 💖💖💖💖💖
Shew this just saved me.
I’ve had my Keurig for several years now (K-Latte .. I don’t even know if they make it anymore) and I’ve already had to break it down 3 times. Once for it being non-responsive to any buttons, second time to remove a spring that kept the water from flowing, and now this issue. Never thought to check the actual hose for clogs, though, especially since I use vinegar to flush it and take the removable parts out to clean every few weeks. This round, I had to disconnect the hose and flush it out from coffee grounds and fix the o-ring back (which somehow came loose and was clogging the spout).
Thank goodness for YT. I was about to text my husband that it was going to RIP in the trash, but now I’ve got it back up and running again.
Woke up this morning and couldn't make my coffee! Too early to be freaking out! I found your video right away and now my Keurig is working like new! Thank you so much! You saved my whole family from a cofeeless mom!
LOL ...so glad Debra coffee for everyone :)
My girlfriend was about to put my Keurig in the garbage.I am very mechanical and watched your video.My valve was clogged and tip was clogged.I cleaned both and as good as new.Saved $100. Thank You so much,Mike!
Hey anytime!
Almost bought another Keurig but saw this video and tried to do this first. I went a bit further. I removed the hose between the check valve and the connection going to the needle. Clean things thoroughly. Now everything works ! Thanks. Big big help !
so glad the video was helpful...take care
This is the only video that fixed my Keurig! Thanks for showing me how to take it apart.
It's a p
Thank you for this video. I threw my first Keurig away because it quit working. I have fixed the second one twice after receiving help from You Tube videos.
Thank you for posting this video on how to fix the keurig. I almost tossed my keurig in the trash. Your video saved its life thanks for saving me money.
So glad I found this! Vinegar was doing nothing for me and the clog was so sudden that I knew this had to be the issue. Unfortunately even my husband couldn't get those screws loose. Pretty sure they don't want us fixing them, but buying a new one instead. I tried shaking the machine while it tried to brew and I'd get out about a tablespoon of water and sure enough... several coffee grounds. I decided to get more aggressive and hit the top of the machine where the clip would be pretty hard with the palm of my hand and started to get a full cup again. I had several coffee grounds coming out for a fee cups, then it was good as new! My machine is 9 years old, so I'm pretty impressed really that I didn't have to pitch it and that it took such hard hits without damaging it. I figured I had nothing to lose since I couldn't get the screws out and vinegar wasn't working. I think I had filled the refillable cups too full and that's why it happened. I would bet many using those are having this issue. I use the paper filters and the last ones I bought are more narrow, so I filled them pretty full. I learned a couple things today! Thanks so much for this very helpful video!
Hi Mike, just wanted to echo others here and say thank you, and this video is brilliant. You saved my Keurig from the dumpster. You also saved lives, literally. If I don't have my Obsidian and Dark Magic in the morning, innocent people die.
RUclips is ideal to share your experience in order to assist others - cheers to a cup of morning joe!
@@MikeBrown-gz4hh Hi again, I posted a link to this vid on my FB page, for my friends in case they have a similar issue. Hope you don't mind.
Thanks man. I followed your instructions and it’s fixed. I tried other utube videos to no avail 👍👍😆
Thanks for your video, I had a Kuerig machine that had similar problem, no water flow, just pumped water back to the reservoir. Paper clip in the upper needle did the trick! Thanks again for saving me $275.
Thank you! Sure did appreciate your no nonsense, yet encouraging approach to the problem. It saved me the cost of a new machine. A few minutes vested with you, and a half hour with the machine and it works like brand new. Well worth the effort!
j
Our coffee maker hasn't worked for a couple years now and I was to the point get it working or throw it out. Then I found your video, followed the directions and presto water is now being pumped through the system and I am currently descaling it again. Thank you for this video!
Good video, saved a lot of people, a lot of money. What I have found, to prevent future clogging, run one cycle, without a K-Cup inserted. This will flush out the upper needle. Cuz when you open your machine to remove and discard the K cup, there are leftover coffee grounds in the openings of the needle. They dry out, and block it up. Just put a clean empty white cup under the machine and run a cycle through without K-Cup inside. If you see coffee grounds in there you've obviously flushed them out.
This is the only video that actually solved my problem!! One thing I did find in another video was to brew on the smallest cup in case that helps anyone!
I was having trouble prying off that top cover. Kept at it, and at last was able to remove to try the tube squeezing trick while the water was dispensing - it worked! Thank you!!
Just cleaned my keurig and had this issue...I followed your instructions and it worked like a charm! I'll be toasting you with a warm cup of joe tomorrow morning-thank you!!
Mike, Great video. You saved me from having to buy another Keurig.
This guided me on how to fix my keurig k-cafe!! Thank you!
Thank you so very much. My Keurig is working again. Couldn't have done it without you!!
Thanks so much. Your instructions were spot on and now I am drinking coffee again!
This worked! My husband fixes medical equipment for a living and we thought it would be more trouble than it was worth to take it apart, then I was the one who fixed it while he was in the shower thanks to you! :-)
Thank you, I know this is an old video but, exactly what was wrong with mine. Now it’s fixed. ❤
Thank you so much for your helpful video! I've only had my machine for about a year & half and all the sudden I had no water flow. Your video helped me to take it apart, clean it out, and put it all back together again with success! You rock! :)
Thank you so much for posting this ! We have the same model and I was beginning to think I was going to have to throw it away. With your help I've got it running like new again !
i have a slightly different model than this but it still worked! i was getting REALLY grumpy without my morning coffee lol
I cleaned mine for hours n gave up. It would stop and say their was a problem. Under pressure. I heard about paper clip then take top off and clear the fill tube.
Gave up n bought another but didnt toss other out. Its in my truck. Was going to return it with no receipt like i have twice b4 . Ill take the top off and try that first tho.
I spent over 30$ on clr trying to clean out what i thought was calcium build up. Then you need to flush the thing for hours because you put some toxic cleaner in it. Haha. No wonder i was diagnosed with cancer last spring eh.
Thanks. Many people are happy to catch fix vids like yours. Kurieg is great when it comes to replacements for free but still , a quick fix yourself makes you feel so worthy! Ha!
Now if only our landfill sites were not full of k cups!
Cant they make a cardboard that will hold up to a one time brew that will break down in compost ??
Cheers yall
Thanks to your video I was able to save our keurig!! Took about 15 minutes to do and was a life saver. Thank you so much!!
Happy New Year!
Great video I did mine a few years back before RUclips was the stop for all types of repairs. If I may add a way to prevent the grounds from entering the discharge is to push the k-cup down by hand to penetrate the bottom first. The container is somewhat air tight and the foil pierced before the plastic so when you use the handle to the bottom pushes up forcing the captive air to escape through the easily pierced foil side to oust some grinds backward. No problems with mine for over two years! Just a little prevention. Thanks for educating.
I had descaled according to manufacturer's instructions and even called Keurig support. They just had me do same steps in manual again and said it would have to be replaced and gave me a 25% discount if I wanted to order it online. I followed your instructions and it was running like new in less than 30 min. Thank you for saving me the cost of replacing a perfectly good machine.
My Keurig stopped pumping and I am so glad I found this video. Thanks.
Mike. Good starter video. If you remove the two tiny screws on the sides of the tubing then pull up on the tubing above the needle you are able to access the tubing elbow to allow the grounds to fall out. Then you can stop milking the tubing like a cats teet. You were not creating a suction rather just breaking it up.
Thank you for your help, my wife drink her coffee every morning 🌄 It works, Thank you for your help
Very helpful video. Second time I'm rewatching this video over the yrs. This is my go to video on fixing my Keurig when just descaling doesn't work with white distilled vinegar.
I bought mine used and after doing this, it works better than before. I sent your video to my sister, she's ready to throw here's away. Thank you!!
Excellent news!
Good morning, I've watched a couple of videos this morning and your video was the only one that did the job. Thanks for sharing and taking the time out to make this video. You saved me some coins because I was getting ready to purchase another Keurig.
Got mine working again. Knew the paperclip trick but not the tube clogging up. Managed to get it all cleaned up. Mine is now 4 yrs old. Thanks for the video! Much appreciated.
glad the video was helpful ...be well
Thanks Mike. I was going to do the same and throw it in the garbage as well! You can also remove all the plastic tubing as well which helps. Be careful not to damage the filter half way on it. Much appreciated!
Mike you are a fucking genius! Thanks for saving $150, I was about to trash my keurig like 5 times today, had a new one in my shopping cart about to checkout and decided to watch this. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU! 💡🧠
This works. Then, to keep it from clogging in the future, run a few cups of clean water through it daily. Spot on!
I just fixed my machine by watching your video! Thank you I was ready to toss it in the trash! Thanks again
Best video got my coffee maker fixed my wife was already shoping for new one now I’m a hero 🦸♀️ thank you 🙏
I posted this video 5 years ago and never thought it would have such an impact and save thousands of machine from landfill...so glad it worked for you.
It worked, but I didn’t see any brown residue. I removed the tubing and I blew in it then I sucked on the tube and it finally worked. Thank you, I was about to toss it!
Thank you so much! Your video helped me fix my KEURIG seamlessly. I was afraid that I was going to have to get rid of it and purchase a new one. AWESOME JOB!!!
This not only saved my life it saved my Keurig life also lol. Thanks so much for sharing.
Now I can't align it back correctly.
Thank you! After watching several videos with no luck, I got it to work after watching yours.
Thank you! I had the same issue this morning with my keurig and this process worked like a champ. The screws are a bit of a pain to get back in because of the awkward underneath angle and tiny space but it’s worth the effort!
You da man Mike. Saved us from having to buy a new coffee maker. My mother in law is visiting and she is a big coffee drinker.
Thanks! Mine is working perfect now. I unhooked the tube from top of needle and a few inches back behind the filter. It was clogged, but works perfect now! I also took the needle piece out with 2 screws. Works like a new one again
Thanks, this fixed mine. I was going to tear into the interior, and this saved me a lot of time and grief.
I watched other videos and read other instructions that described removing the top cover. All seemed to think it was just a matter of removing those two Phillips screws on the underside of the lid. Like many though, the cover wouldn't come off, but watching how you gave it a firm "jiggle" was the trick. The same elbow on my unit had crap in it, and the paperclip (which I've used successfully on many occasions) was not effective. In my case I squeezed the tube to try and loosen the debris, but it didn't clear when I ran water through it. In a fit of impatience (I WANT MY COFFEE!), I used an air compressor (do it outside, lol), to blow air into the tank inlet, and then up into the needle (which one probably needs to be careful of since I think there's a stopper valve and under high pressure you could easily damage the components of the tubing). Anyway, blowing air through the inlet forced all the water in the unit to eject at turbo speed through the needle and I was left with one very clean tube all the way through! Thanks for taking the time to make your video and sharing it with us coffee addicts!
Thank you for this video, I was at my wits ends I saw your video and my Keurig is working again, having my first cup of coffee for the morning, needless to say it was a long morning🤗
Used your suggestions for my Keurig K-Cafe model. Worked like a charm. Thank you so much. Your video gave me the knowledge (and confidence) to look under the hood. My 12oz button was only giving me 7 ounces of coffee. Now I’m back to 12 ounces once more. Thanks again. 🍻
Mike, thank you for your video. I myself have been using distilled water in my keurig 2.0 for years but recently I have noticed that I’m not getting the right amount of water in my cup. After several videos I came across your video and I have to say that your video was very helpful. I guess my coffee machine is no different than any other machine I purchased even the car. Everything needs servicing and maintenance. Thank you once again for the reminder, Thumbs up for your video 🫵👍👍😎
This one of the better clips on how to fix a Keurig, will try your instuctions.
This worked perfectly fine, and it saved our 7 years old coffee maker which had served us on a daily base.
This video is straight to the point and works. Great job thank you!
