Need to show more on how to take cover off.
I agree!! Please send help
Exactly he skipped the hardest part and I’m pretty sure I broke my Keurig
@@kennywong9356 same
@@kennywong9356the pieces can break sometimes… if they snap back together at the end then just say a prayer of thanks
Little late, but it’s pry the top off enough to pry at the side. If you hear snapping it’s all cosmetic. Better to snap a couple cosmetic pieces and keep the coffee maker than buy a new one. I just did it thanks to this guy and it works fine again
Keurig really needs to do a design change on that thermostat. No one should have to do what you did. Crappy internal components.
I couldn’t agree more an external reset switch of sorts if you will this is a ridiculous design
They do this so you’ll buy another
Agreed! An old school paper clip reset button in the back would be perfect! fixed mine but I was to rough and broke part of the plastic. Great video though!
That would be bad business, why incentivize buying less “new models”?
Thank you! This worked!
Called Keurig customer service and their only solution was to try unplugging and plugging it back in and it was no longer under warranty. This video just saved me $80 on buying a new one. Thank you so much. My 16-year-old was able to fix it with this video. 🎉
Awesome
Thanks a million for this video, I wanted to surprise my wife by descaling "her" machine for the first time after the light had been on for weeks; the thing ran dry during the processs and went dead! I was convinced I had done something wrong and wrecked it... Turns out the little 5 cent "non-self-resetting" thermal cutoff was indeed the culprit. I bet hundreds of people can't be bothered to look into it when this happens and just go "oh well", throw away the machine and go get a new one...kinda looks like some sort of planned obsolescence to me! Self-resetting cutoffs are all over the place, one has to wonder why the market leader chooses to skimp out on such a basic component... Thanks again for the help.
Thank You! I was descaling my Keurig and the add water light flickered once then went out. I knew I should have added water at that point, but brewed another cycle and then power cut off. I would have had to pull out my old drip coffee maker if it were not for your video. As you mentioned, it was not the easiest to take apart, but once I did, I put the smallest eye glasses screwdriver in the same spot and gently pushed. I did plug it in amd turn it on, before putting it back together, and it lit up like it was new from the box. You just saved me $55 on an Out Of Stock item. Again, Thank You for making my mornings bearable again and saving people's lives! 😆
Run on sentence warning
As a single guy with multiple projects and tools- after watching this vid, and learning about the reset button, and the tribulation of disassembly through reassembly, I instead cut an access hole with a one inch forstner bit, pressed the button, and made my coffee. Thank you so much for the vid and the info therein. ♡nick
Damn I wish I’d have done that instead! 🤣
and "fix" the hole with black gorilla tape so no water is getting in there... For sure better than everytime this happens open up the machine again...
Nick, you saved three lives today ✊
I love you. Is this too forward?
I really wish somebody could do a more specific video about getting the damn cover off. Everybody skips the important parts. You have to both push and pull and pry from two tabs at the same time, and somehow not break it. Seems like it would require an assistant. The upper cover blocks the removal of pulling it up, it doesn't want to pull outward, and the bottom seems to be part of it, and it doesn't seem to be removable, though it probably is. I only had it for 3 months and can't return it. All I need to do is reset the damn switch but can't get the cover off without destroying it. I'm almost considering drilling a hole in the side to see if I can reach the stupid thermostat thing.
I think I’ve only had mine for 3 months and it just shut off and I don’t want to break it by trying to take the cover off I wish it was easier to take it off honestly
Worked perfect, appreciate ya! You were telling the truth about the difficulty in removing the cover.....noting I did jack up the top of mine. Actually makes life easier if it happens again as it's a convertible now. Cheers!
Glad it helped
I did the same thing… that part should have a hinge on it factory
Yep that was the problem had to reset the thermostat. Don’t throw away your machines guys it’s a bit of a pain in the butt too get apart but regardless our time cost less then a new pot. We super appreciate your video!! Thank you so very much!!!Coffee is life around here 🤘🏼
Please consider a tutorial on how to get the tabs out. Completely destroyed the casing to my machine, but you were right that that simple piece was the problem.
My wife wanted to throw ours away because there was no power to our machine. It was a pain in the ass to get into but we reset the thermostat and it worked! Thanks for the video!
The same thing happened to me and my Keurig “Essential” (the teal one). I had bought the ‘Kuerig Starter descale kit’ and emptied the small pouch of descale fluid in the reservoir and then filled the rest of the way with water. When we started running the ‘Descale’ process the water reservoir almost completely drained (about 4 presses of the 8ozsetting) and the ‘Add Water’ light never triggered to show it was working properly and ready for the next step of running just a reservoir of clean water through it. This caused issues and we couldn’t figure out why until I searched it and seen your videos so thank you for the detailed explanation in the videos. After seeing your videos we were able to re-do the process properly and the kuerig works perfectly again. Thank you 🙌🙏
Used a rubber mallet and a knife to open it. Did some damage to the shell but it’s working!! I call that a win 😁 Very proud of myself!!
I contacted Keurig and they were no help. It was extremely challenging to remove the cover, but it did work! Thanks a lot for your video 😅
You're welcome!
All that I can say is thank goodness that the scars from loosening the side cover face that back of the house and are not seen by passers by.
It would have been asking too of Keurig to put a reset button on the bottom side like a garbage disposal speaking of which, I've installed disposals quicker than removing that side cover. Thanks for the insight. It works again!
Thanks for this video. You described my issue exactly. You just saved me another $50.
ended up ripping off the top panel + a ton of the tabs but at the very least it turns on + brews - although it seems to be struggling to brew now. I may just give up and throw this thing away anyways.. i appreciate that you took the time to share how to fix stuff as opposed to consumers relying on customer service or outright tossing it, but maybe in the future show ALL the relevant steps like the dismantling, which seems to be the hardest part of this entire issue.
Your a life saver! My wife about lost her 💩 when hers stopped working this morning. Me being a resourceful guy looked it up! You saved the day with your helper video. Easier said than done trying to open it but it went back together pretty easy. Thanks a ton! Merry Christmas from one dad to another, may your family have the happiest of holidays..
Hi there Mr!
Today I found a black K-express essentials at a flea market for 2.50 dollars cordless. I got home and repaired it the way I learned from this video. Thanx always!
Hey did you happen to remember where the white and black wires go. If you still have the device can you look for me?
@@michaelrodka hi there Mike. I just attached a cord from a broken iron and reset the thermal fuse, is working now!
I was having a heck of a time trying to remove the panel... so I did the next best thing: Based on your video (roughly 1:26 in), I guesstimated the location of the thermostat reset hole and bored a 0.5" hole into the side of the machine, and presto! An access panel. With a paperclip opened out, I was able to reset the thermostat and it works!
For those with this exact machine, I bored the hole 3" from the front seam and 3.5" down from the top. I used a 0.5" chisel-point blade style bit. It made a super clean hole, sufficient to see in with a flashlight and position the paper clip. You could use a larger size if you're not certain of the location of the thermostat, based on your particular machine, if they're using the same heating element.
We've gone through other Keurig's that have died on us... and now I think they could've been saved if I'd known about the thermostat reset. Thank you for that, it's priceless info!
I just unscrewed the screws and used a knife to pop off the rest cause I got frustrated. Resetting the thermostat worked for me! thanks!! now i know to watch for errors while descaling.
Great video! I fixed one that I got for free. If you can take this apart without breaking any of the plastic tabs you are the goat.
Thank you, I fixed it with the help of your video!
I got frustrated trying to take the panel off, so I drilled a hole through the plastic, and pushed the button with a flashlight and a paperclip 😅🤷♀️
Just A Dad you are the man! This happened this morning when descaling this Keurig model. Was about to toss it in the trash when, on a whim, thought to search the interweb for a possible fix. You are right about how precarious taking that side off is. Felt like it was going to snap into pieces at any moment. Thankfully it didn’t. Did the paper clip thing on the thermostat. Popped the side back on (way easier in that direction) and it’s good to go. Don’t think it’s a conspiracy on Keurig’s part to make it so difficult. At the price point on this model I’m thinking it’s “make this as cost-effective a design as possible” and this is what you get. Thanks again!
Thanks a million!!! My fiance ended up breaking a piece off the top of the panel, but it made it so much easy getting to the thermostat. The broken piece went right back into place seamlessly, that it's barely noticeable. Thanks again!!
Glad it helped!!!!
This worked for mine thank you so much!! Mine isn’t even a year old and it stopped working thank you again for making this video it helped a lot
Thank you. I did not take the whole cover off. I used a metal ruler, using the short straight side, Starting at the top, I inserted the ruler upward, then rotated the ruler so it's perpendicular to the machine. The purpose is to pry the lip of the cover out of the mating part. As I worked around the coffee maker I put objects (in my case bicycle tire levers) to keep the cover from sliding back into place. I just worked my way around until the cover disengaged enough where I could see the thermostat. I used my multimeter and sure enough the thermostat was open. After I inserted a pin into the hole there was continuity. I plugged the power in, turned it on. Snapping back the cover into place was easy.
As a side note, I saw gooey stuff at the bottom of the water reservoir where the water goes out. I took a bbq wood skewer and taped a q-tip at the end. Alot of yucky stuff came off. Probably best to drain the water and turn the reservoir over each morning.
Good luck to those who need to fix their machines.
I'm enjoying a K-cup of Starbucks Peppermint Mocha thanks to this video. I got a brand new unit at Goodwill and surprise it didn't work. I read in the comments how one poster drilled a hole in the side rather than take it apart so I went that route. Using the image at 2:30 as a reference, I started a hole with an old soldering iron, then slowly drilled a 1/2 inch hole with a sharp bit. My hole wasn't perfectly placed, but I did get a sim removal tool in at an angle and heard that satisfying click. I found that a large paperclip was too fat. Then I covered the hole with black electrical tape. For those who want to use this method, look at 2:30 in the video and draw a 3 inch line to the left from the vertical surface with the buttons, then 3.5 inches down from the top of the top surface edge. You should be just slightly to the right of the thermostat.
THANK YOU! I have the K-Iced Essentials and couldn't find an exact tutorial for that model but I followed these instructions and it worked perfectly. I tried to descale it and ran it dry and it tripped the fuse. I did the descale again as you suggested and the "add water" came back on. It was a pain to open and I broke a few of the clamps/connectors but thankfully it doesn't prevent it from going back on fine and the water reservoir fits. They should definitely make that easier.
Thank you thank you thank you! You are a life saver. My Keurig is a month old, and I ran the descale process (we have SUPER hard well water that kills coffee makers on an incredibly regular basis, so descaling once a month is absolutely necessary). Yup, it ran out of water and killed it! I'll be more attentive next time. Seriously, though, shame on the Keurig company! A simple access panel on the left side of the brewer would make this 1000X easier! Is my hubby drilling a hole so I don't have to go through this again? You bet!
Thank you for this! I never would have gotten it apart without your suggestion to use an auto trim tool. 😀
The victim was the Keurig at our club, which wouldn't brew. The reservoir was moldy, which plugged the machine up inside. 😵💫 I bleached out the reservoir and once inside, disconnected the inlet valve and blew through the hose to clear out the crud from the pump. Success! 😁
My deepest THANKS to you for this video!! I was so close to throwing away my keurig and it led me here. The instructions were very helpful and I appreciate you
You are so welcome!
My man! I thought I broke my dads Keurig trying to descale it. Spent all night researching and came across your video. I was able to take it apart without making it look ugly af. (I would have broken the rear casing without you showing me where everything was). Got the heating element reset and It now powers on. Time to go watch your descaling procedure video now. Thank you sir!
Thanks for this! I beat the crap out of it it’s pretty mangled now with tons of scars but she works again! And we have a replacement on the way! Win win!
Worked 100%. Reset the switch, revived the Keurig, making coffee now. Saved it from the trash! Thanks!
You're welcome!
My Keurig died today...this was just the reason. You're right, that cover is a pain to take off, but my Keurig works now! Thanks!!
I fixed my Keurig by resetting the thermostat thank you! I removed the three screws, and carefully pried and pulled with work gloves to get the cover to come off. After that was super easy to use the paperclip and feel and listen for the click to reset the thermostat.
Honestly, thank you so much! My mom thought she broke hers, and she was sad and gonna throw it out. Im always tryna fix her things, so I did a little research and stumbled upon your video. It's simple and explained well! Thank you again. You gain a new subscriber! Love the video. Keep up the good work!
THANK YOU AGAIN!! I was ready to cry .. I thought I was gonna have to bye a new one. Once again you were so easy to follow and it worked!! Thank u!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much. Great video. You weren't kidding about getting that cover off. Luckily I barely got it unclipped and barely off just enough to reset the thermostat. Thank you again
You're welcome!
Major tip for anyone going through this!!! I drilled a 1/2” hole in mine. So if this ever happens again I can reach in with welding wire instead of disassembling the thing.
Thought our Kuerig was dead... this fixed it. Got it reset and through the descale process. Thank you!
You skipped or did not record the most difficult part of the repair that you had a hard time with getting the cover off with those tabs ! That's the part that I and everyone else needs to see ? , can you please put out a video on how to release those tabs and remove the cover to get inside the machine because that's the part I'm at and the rest of your video is absolutely no help if we can't get the cover of properly without breaking tabs and or the cover !?
Thank you so much! The first time this happened, I thought I broke the machine and threw it away. The second time, I thought, "I can't be the only one." So, I googled it. Thank God I came across your tutorial. It saved me a big expense. You are right that it isn't easy. It took 2 of us to get the thing apart and back together, but it was worth the effort.
Glad I could help
Thanks! Reseting the thermostat resolved my problem. I ended up breaking all the hooks on the front edge of that side panel by accident. That panel was very difficult to open. It still went back together tightly in the end though so they don't seem to be that important.
Thank you so much for this video. My one year old Keurig Essentials died after the descaling process. I know it’s an inexpensive model but i just use this in my office. I was able to follow your instructions and get it back working.
Shesh! How did you figure this out?!?? Followed along step by step and am now enjoying my cup of joe again! Saved me $$$ Thank you!
Your video is helpful. My Keurig K-express coffee maker is now working very well... Thank you very much, continue making videos not just very helpful but can safe money...
Thanks for watching
Worked. Save yourself some trouble and drill a hole in the side. It's likely going to cause more damage trying to disassemble the thing. It's definitely going to cause less headache.
Thank you for posting!!! Just reset mine and 99%sure that my mom's has the same issue. Both were bought a month apart and stopped working a day apart.
Thanks for the help! I cannot believe you have to go through all of this to push a reset button.
Thank you so much for making a great easy to understand video. You just saved this Brokemom $60. I almost trashed mine and bought a new one. I have only had this less than 6 months. Thanks again.
You're welcome!
I tried fixing the office Keurig by using this video! It did work for maybe 15 seconds but I got some magic smoke coming out of one the components, it doesn't even turn on anymore with the thermostat reset pressed.
Frustrating to call their customer service and they tell you on the phone that there's nothing that can be done to make that coffee maker ever work again and I need to buy a new one... SMH thanks for the free 10-minute fix. Great video
I am posting my review today. I am thoroughly convinced that this is a faulty model. Wish I had known before throwing it out 😆Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the info! I ended up breaking a few pieces of the outer shell prying it off, but I was able to get mine working again thanks to this.
Glad I could help!
This video is exactly what I needed!! You showed the exact issue I was having and the step by step help fixed my problem. Thank you!! Wish Keurig made the back easier to take off!
Worked great! And yes checked the lack of continuity first too! Considered drilling a 1 inch hole in the cover near the thermostat switch for future easier access. Maybe if it happens again
Your instructions on removing the case is literally that meme about how to draw an owl.
So I had to google that LOL, Sorry I did not provide more details. I might do a more detailed video in the future on this. thanks for the update!
@@JustADad i wound up having to brute force caveman it open. But the wife's happy to have coffee
Exactly! And a few random plastic pieces went flying. Terrible info about getting to the inside.
Thanks Dad.. like others here have said taking the cover off was B*T*H but like you said if you just pull back enough on the cover and have a large LONG paper clip you can reach the reset button.. It bucked and farted the first 2 cups but seems to have re-set all it's innards and it's back to normal.. Albeit my cover now has a lot of screw driver and sharp knife digs in the seems but HEY the coffee's hot and flowing again.. Cheers my friend, Dave
Broke one tab getting in. I saved time by popping off the top and side just enough to get into it. Worked like a charm though. Great video!!
Thank you so much !! We fixed our machine - yay !! It was the thermostat. This one is indeed difficult to open - it took both of us and several tools but probably couldn't have opened it without your video. We have had to replace, return and exchange😀 so many of these probably all with the same issue !
You're welcome!
My Keurig is giving me water coffee I cleaned it and unplugged it and plugged it back in
I may have broken a few of the plastic pieces but now my Keurig is working again! Thank you sir!
Just amazing after 6 months finally a good video and now my Keurig works 😢and it's barely used 😂tnx brother awesome 👍 video
Thank you so much for this video!!! I was about to throw mine out because there was no power and thankfully I looked it up on RUclips and your video drew my attention and I got mine working again!!! 🙌🏼💯🙌🏼
Glad I could help!
On my 3rd Keurig - wish I had found your video before! It worked like a charm - thanks a million!
You're welcome!
You are a godsend, thank you so much. Getting the back off was exhausting but I got it just enough to press the button.
Thank you for this. A few of the plastic bits broke while pulling the cover off, but we have coffee! Appreciate the video!
You're welcome!
Fixed the problem right away, thanks!!
Thanks so much! Love your keurig video! I try to pry it open like you but it was so hard! so what I did is I grab a flat head screw and pry the side enough for me to get that paper clip in there. Yeah it broke some of the tab off but from now on I have access to reset it!
Thanks a bunch. Our Keurig stops turing on. We could not figure it out how to get it apart on our own! This was perfect and worked like a charm. We reset as you suggested and it worked perfectly! ❤
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for this mine just did on me today while descaling and I reset it and it's working fine again thank you again
Worked like a charm! Definitely glad you mentioned using the auto tool... And that I had one laying around. I kinda wish you included the whole process of removing and replacing the cover. It was a b*tch! And was afraid I was gonna break something
Omg you dont know how much im loving you right now, i was about to throw away my machine and thanks to your video i fixed it, thank you so much
You're welcome!!
Ran my kuerig dry by mistake and now when I turn it on lights blink and go out. It will not brew coffee. I can run full descale and it produces hot water. I suppose I can descale brew a cup of coffee.
Have found others online with this problem but no solutions so far. Any suggestions other than buy a new kuerig?
Thanks for your videos. They were very helpful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! This happened on three of mine in the past. I was about to throw mine away and swear off buying another. Your fix worked!
The thermostat reset worked!!! Thank you for saving everyones keurig!!!!!!!
I used your video to do this and it worked! The panel was a little difficult to remove, but I did it with a screwdriver only. I was not able to get it flush with the top part however, so now you can tell it was removed, but since I bought it at a reduced price, as long as it works, I'm ok with it. As an side, this might be why this was returned in the first place. (Bought at Walmart, opened it and there was a used k-cup in it).
Great how to video. Unit lost power while descaling.
Reset the thermostat and back in business. Thank you.....
Thx a bunch. Was looking everywhere to figure it out. Did exactly what you said it does. Did it after a descale and it sucked in air and died Lol. Thx again.
Thank you for making this video. My Keurig stopped working when I was descaling it. And sure enough, it was the thermal switch
Glad it helped
Thank you. Regarding reset button, I did not feel any click, feeling like just touched. But after that somehow it is brewing again. Panel removal was not easy. I gave up. Instead I drilled a 2 inch hole by hole saw as a service hole LOL.
did just about the same after working way too long to pry the thing apart. Used a step drill to make a 1" hole where the video shows the thermostat to be. Reset with a paperclip and covered the hole with a square of matching black flex tape.
Hi there... I really hope you see this. First, I'd like to thank you so much for this video because without it, I had no idea how to get my Keurig to turn on again. I've searched online but can't find an answer to a question I have. My Keurig was in descale mode, and I believe I was at the rinse part when it completely shut off and wouldn't turn on again. Now that I've followed your instructions from this video and it turned back on the descale light is not illuminated but I don't know if I have to run the descale again since it shut down during the rinse. I'm happy it's working again thanks to you, but I am afraid to use it, not knowing if any of the chemicals from the descale are still present and will get into my coffee. I'd really appreciate your help and thank you again for your helpful videos.
I bought my keurig off Facebook for $10 and ran it dry while descaling. You definitely saved my keurig but it looks like it’s been through the trenches after prying it open 🤣
That is awesome!
Well done, it worked on ours. If this happens again I will drill an access hole in the housing. Thank you for your video.
Thank you so much! I bought a returned one,they must of ran it without water and it stopped working so I was able to fix it thanks to you
Super frustrating. Showing how you got into the electrical would have been easier. Struggled with it for an hour, couldn’t get get it off and then threw it away
You helped me fix the machine at work, I appreciate it
Glad to hear it!
Thank you so much!!! Didn't even notice I ran it out of water! Your a life saver!
I successfully end up breaking couple tabs ,, but coffee maker is back on business 😀 thanks for the video
Thanks! Fixed the second one, first one I thought was dead so I bought this replacement, and was about to buy a third one. Definitely have to manhandle the thing to get it open, such a scam that they don’t have a button to reconnect when it overheats
Whew! I can comment now on how helpful this was. It did take me a very long time to get the cover off, I snapped a few tabs off but idk. Thank you so much for this video. I will say it is a dewsey getting that cover off, I used like 4 different flathead but it came on and I'm about to drink some coffee.
Great job!
Perfect itming because I descaled my keurig for the firs time and I tripped the thermostat! This video saved me!
Glad I could help!
Thanks! Your fix worked once again. But that case was a nightmare to open. Nothing short of two flathead screwdrivers and brute force would do it. Some scratches but nothing broken.
Thank you very much for this video, I fixed our Keurig by resetting the thermostat just like you suggested.
Excellent!
Thanks for video ended up breaking a couple tabs to get cover off but it's fixed and went back together good lol
Thanks for the vid was able to fix my dad’s Keurig didn’t have a screwdriver so just threw it on floor and it opened.
You're welcome!
Should’ve watched the whole thing before starting but Wah-La! It works!
My dad is happy i fixed it
Way to Go!!!
THANK YOU. I recovered my dead machine!
