    This works. The only downside is that miserably unhappy people who were unable to get their morning coffee come here and it’s slightly painful to get a minutes worth of info stretched out to four and a half minutes. Thank you nonetheless!

      Hopefully they are somewhat awake (and are in a good state of mind) when looking for a fix here on CZcams!
      But to your point one can never be totally certain of anything...
      I hope I helped in some small way - thank you.
      (BTW: In the future I will try to be more brief).
      Thanks for stopping by!

    This is my second Keurig Coffee Brewer. czcams.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first one lasted 6 years. It worked beautifully until the day it didn't. It was hard to go back to the drip coffee for a couple of days while I waited on my Keurig to get here. There is a huge difference in the taste. Keurig makes a really good cup of coffee. This new one is a little different from my old one. I find putting the water filter in was easier than on the old one. Attaching the water reservoir was also a little different but once I figured it out, it too was easier. This new one has the auto off feature but is not programmable like the old one. Only three cup sizes instead of four. The odd thing for me was how much lighter in weight this one is compared to my old one. More plastic and much less metal in the construction of this one. The price is so much less than the original Keurig that I bought and the coffee tastes the same so all in all I am satisfied.

    Two years later and you're still helping. I've been struggling for about a month with mine making less and less coffee. I'll have to run it 4times before I got half a cup. Your advice got me back to a full cup in one try. I'm so grateful.

    FOLKS, don't use soap to descale your machines! Always use vinegar and run it through multiple times. Just a few cups. After that, fill the entire vessel with only water and run that through the machine. Do this at least twice a year if you're a daily user of these machines.

Finally bought a Cuisinart, never looked back, have had mine 3 years, works as good as the day I bought it.

    Thank you so much, sir! I had my Keurig sitting by the door to go to the trash. I figured it was 12 years old, it was time for another one. I did go get an “emergency” cheap drip coffee maker from Walmart (this happened in the middle of the week when I didn’t have time to think about it, and I can’t go one day without coffee!) but YUCK!, I guess I am spoiled on Keurig coffee. I thought, what the heck, I’ll Google and see if this is a common problem and could it be fixed. Found your video, tried it, and Wala, it’s fixed! You saved me a lot of money and saved the landfill from one more Keurig sitting in it! Thank you!!

    • @Journeyman-Fixit

      Hello! I found the issue after my poor Wife spent what seemed to be an endless amount of time descaling our Keurig (she said about six descaling cycles) and still no results. I looked at it (my father was a Plumber) I stated thinking "valve" and the rest was history. You are so welcome, and thank you for taking the time to share your story!

    I had the same issues today with my Keurig. I was worried, that I had would have to replace this one, or would have to open up the machine. I did a CZcams search, and I found your video. I didn't have an electric toothbrush. I used an old regular toothbrush. I put a little dish soap on the toothbrush, and I scrubbed the area for a few minutes. I have ran my Keurig machine, a few times, and so far, it's working again like before. You are a genius! This really does work. Thanks for posting this video. 👍

Husband said, throw it away and I'll get the old one from the garage. NOOOOOO, I can't go back! lol. It started doing what you said this morning. Luckily my husband is not here. I'm going to try this and let ya'll know....It worked!!! I just pushed the spring several times as it had plastic cover around it. It didn't appear to be dirty or slimy. Now if I can find a video on how to get the descale light off!

    Thank you so much for this simple solution. I noticed that sometimes removing the tank and putting it back helped but did not check the valve and spring. Of course descaling sometimes helps too but for now this is my problem. I am amazed how people taking "time" of their schedules to post videos helps us all.

    • @Journeyman-Fixit
      @Journeyman-Fixit  Před rokem +2

    I own the single cup Keurig, the water tank being only 1 inch high, with some dark residue on the inside of the tank over the small wire mesh filter. It was pumping slow, leaving about 1/8 inch of water still in the tank, then nothing. Had to lift the handle again and drop it to complete the process, then the whole cup came out. I flushed the inside with hot water (no soap) and also used the brush by hand for a few minutes on the inside, a little on the bottom ejection. Poured another cup of water into the tank and watched it pump faster with a full cup. Many thanks sir for your help.

    A friend had a keurig and it quit working. He destroyed it taking it apart but found what he thought was black bugs in the hose between the tanks. I was about to tear mine apart but thought I'd check youtube first. I tried the toothbrush trick and it's working perfect again. It pumps water for 10 or 15 seconds now when before it took about 2 minutes to pump water into the internal tank. Last year I called keurig about it and they said to descale it. I told her I used distilled water and she said in that case no I didn't need to descale it. THANK YOU very much Journeyman!!!

    Right in the middle of descaling, filling the cups until the blue light comes on, and my Keurig quits pumping. I had cleaned the piercer with a paper clip to no avail, I took the top cover off and cleaned the check valve and it ran one cup and quit. Finally I found this posting and cleaned the outlet on the bottom of the reservoir. Afterward I was able to finish the descaling and flushed out the tank. The Keurig works great now, no excessive noise trying to pump water and it works much faster. Thanks Journeyman.

    @OldSchoolHacker Před 5 lety +21

    Thanks for sharing this information. It fixed the issue with my Keurig and definitely saved me the time and frustration associated with tearing it down and possibly never getting it back together. I noticed a number of other commenters saying that they were close to throwing their coffee maker away and replacing it with another. Considering that Keurig is the market leader by a wide margin in the single pod coffee business, they are HOPING that we will chuck our failing makers and pop for another one made by Keurig. I've only used mine for six months and the fact that the valve was clogging up indicates to me that it is a design failure.
    Your discovery and generous attitude in sharing it here is greatly appreciated but if my Keurig quits working again and I can't easily remedy the issue, I'm quitting the pod life.

      I hear you Steve, I fix things because over the years it adds up to countless dollars of budget savings for my hard-working family. I have old things that are still working because they are made out of more superior materials. I remember years ago the old percolator coffee pot and loved the smell of the coffee (and it really woke me up when I needed the caffeine), it might be time to go back to that. Thanks for the feedback, knowing I may have helped save someone else frustration made my day!

    My Keurig has no way to access this spring and valve. So I decided to let the hot vinegar sit in the reservoir for a period of time. Then I turned on the unit and began to get some water flow. I did this a few times with half water, half vinegar, and it was flowing fine. So I ran a few cups of plain water through it. Worked for me. Thanks.

I worked a toothbrush in and around the place you demonstrated, with just a little Dawn and some hot water. The screen there was FILTHY and the more I brushed it, the cleaner it got.
    Thank you so much!!!

    So many other videos and this was my fix. The motor sounded like it was dry and when looking into the tank i could see the intake valve was barely dripping water. After feeling inside the tank it was slimey and i could see the nasty algae type stuff. I did what you did and i went a step further by unscrewing the piece from inside the tank and cleaning it all my hand. I was just about to throw this thing away and you saved me. Thank you

    I just used an old manual toothbrush for about a minute and then depressed the valve and held it under hot running tap water for another minute .
    its good to know I can fix it when it happens again.
    Also, its really an outrage that Keurig doesn't describe this fix. I had another unit some years ago and wound up trashing when this happened.

    We have a Cuisinart SS-10 Premium Single Serve unit that has a filter in it. But I can see and have read that "that" particular water inlet valve has caused problems - even on my unit. We also use filtered water (used to store it in the refrigerator but not anymore) to keep the reservoir filled. When I change the water filter (it's a Pur water pitcher) I also clean the coffee maker.
