Save Time and Money with These Keurig K-Cup Brewer Solutions
Having problems with your Keurig K-Cup Brewer? Repeated usage can cause functional issues, which will impact the brew quality of your Keurig K-Cup Pods and ultimately your coffee drinking experience. The good news is there are a number of ways to fix these problems and get your machine to function as good as new. Here are five common Keurig troubleshooting solutions and easy ways to correct these problems.
Common Problem 1: K-Cup Coffee and Tea Grounds Get into Your K-Cup Holder and Causes a Water Line Clog
Keurig Troubleshooting Solution: Remove or clean the needle that punctures the K-Cup Pod then do a small cup cleansing brew to clean out any residual. This will ensure any left-over debris is flushed out before you have you start your next brew.
Common Problem 2: K-Cup Brewer Shuts Off Unexpectedly Between Brews
Keurig Troubleshooting Solution: Remove the water reservoir and insert it back into place. The magnet in the reservoir can become dislodged during brewing from the vibrations in the machine.
Common Problem 3: Not Ready Message on Your Keurig Machine Stays On
Keurig Troubleshooting Solution:
- Turn off your machine and unplug it
- Detach the water reservoir
- Wait 5 seconds then repeat the steps 1 and 2
- Insert the water reservoir then press the menu button and when the “Not Ready” message appears lower handle
Common Problem 4: Blinking Blue Light in Water Reservoir
Keurig Troubleshooting Solution: Simply add more water to the reservoir. All K Cup Coffee Maker models need a minimum amount of water to activate the brewing process, so if you’re reservoir is low the machine will not start.
Common Problem 5: Installing Your Water Filter
Keurig Troubleshooting Solution: This problem applies to only the models with the water filter feature. If you own one of these models, you can install the filter in three simple steps:
- Soak the entire filter in cold water for five seconds
- Place the filter at the bottom of the Water Handle Assembly
- Set the timing dial two months from the day to ensure it is replaced at the appropriate time
Use these five Keurig troubleshooting solutions for your machine and you’ll ensure your coffee and tea always taste great and your brewer lasts a long time. As a result, you’ll save yourself time and money not having to replace your Keurig K-Cup Brewer.
All my lights on stay solid lite it won’t brew unless I unplug it. This happen when I ran vinger threw it
We at the office have an ongoing problem with grounds being put in our coffee cups. We only use K-cups and they will start brewing normally then at the end of brewing it"ll fill the k-cup up with water and most of the grounds end up in our coffee cups. The message will say something like do not open contents, under pressure. Doesn’t happen every time but regularly. I’ve taken it apart to clean all the parts, cleaned the needle and descaled it. It’ll work fine for one or two cups then not the next. Any suggestions? This is the second one we’ve had to replace because of the same reason.
