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.
Hot water comes out of rubber thing at top of reservoir…instead of into cup?
Hot water comes out of rubber thing at top of reservoir…instead of into cup?
I have cleaned my machine twice now (2 tanks of water & vinegar) but it don’t seem to be clogged, yet I am only getting 1/4 of a cup of water, So can someone tell me what the problem might be? It reads brewing for sometime before it actually starts to brew
Purchased My Keurig 2.0 in January 2018 and have had problems since day 2- when I place a coffee pod in the slot, and fold down the top, it begins to fill, then stops with a warning that the water is under pressure and not to open the lid. When the lid is then opened, there are grounds running out the top hole on the pod. This also happens when i use the little self fill container/basket. I frequently must strain my coffee to remove coffee grounds. We have cleaned the entire piece several times and it still doesn’t work properly.
When it does fill, using a pod, it may not fill according to the amount of water I have requested – ex 8 oz, 10 oz, etc.
AND~ frequently when I close the lid, I am not given a choice of the setting I want to choose for my coffee…HELP???!!!
I am having trouble with every time I put a K-cup in my machine it brews but when I put another k-cup in for another cup while the machine is hot it states oops wrong pod and will not let me go any further until the machine is completely cooled. How can I troubleshoot?
