    I think you should edit this and make a comment about the 3rd tab on the top. In your video it's broken off. This one tab got hurt on mine but is salvageable. This one (3rd) tab took me longer than I want to admit getting the top cover off

    Thanks Dr Ray, I have the same Keurig you repaired in this video. I ordered the pump from Amazon for $14. It came in and I watched your video while taking the unit apart, installed the new pump, and reassembled the Keurig. I was a little apprehensive making the first cup, then I heard that wonderful whoosh at the end and knew everything was great! Thank you, thank you. No more dripping, no more pods full of water. Now my wife thinks I’m great again😎.

    Thank you very much for your video! I have the same model Keurig and had the same exact issue. Called Keurig support and they were absolutely useless. Looked online and find your video. I ordered the air pump off of ebay and installed it. Now the Keurig works like new. The most helpful part of your video was showing exactly where the tabs were to take this thing apart. That saved me a whole lot of grief because this Keurig would have probably gone for a "flight check" if I didn't know where the tabs were. Really appreciate you taking the time to do this.

    This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.

    So 6 months later I’m realizing even though the temp is set to 192°, its max temp is 170, but usually 165. I tried resetting the computer (unplugging for 10 min, removing reservoir,holding down 2 buttons til it blinks 3x etc) No difference. Tried the high/low altitude fix- nothing.
    I nuke it for 20secs or so, but any ideas? It’s the same model you show.

      Try filling the tank with vinegar and run it a few times until the vinegar comes out. Let it sit overnight with the vinegar in it.
      The mineral deposits act like an insulator and the element can't get the water hot enough. The same thing can happen with your house water heater.

    • @HouseDoctorRay

      With the housing off run it through a cycle and try to pinpoint the leak. If it is the metal heating tank then you're probably better off replacing the machine. Maybe you'll get lucky and see it is just a hose leaking.

      The air pump pressurizes the water tank and blows out the pod at the end. That's why when they are working properly the pods don't drip at the end of a cycle. I think they just burn out.

      The front wrap around piece of the pod holder comes off pretty easily. You need to squeeze it and wiggle it to get it to pop off. Maybe search for a video on cleaning the pod area. It's designed to come off for cleaning.
      Be careful of the needle up top, it is very sharp. There is also a tiny o-ring around the needle, if you lose that o-ring the machine will leak.
