Continually says Add Water

My b60 continually says Add Water & Not Ready, even though the reservoir is full, and the little valve thing moves freely. Any suggestions?

There should be two little, shiny, metal, poles exposed in the water reservoir. These are used in detecting the presence of water, and must have water between them to conduct electricity, thus completing the circuit. In other words, if these shiny thingys are dirty, or water is somehow blocked from flowing between them, that is why you are having this problem.

Otherwise it's just a defective circuit board, or sensor, either way Keurig should replace the unit free of charge.

SOURCE: My Keurig Platinum B70 is leaking.

Could need new seals. To check; fill tank with water and hold it in the air to see if you can see water leaking. If it leaks replace seals... You can find them here:

SOURCE: my Keurig b60 is spitting water into reservoir instead of kcup

I had a similar problem except there was no water going into the K-cup. I fooled around with the machine for awhile but I had no luck. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I broke out a can of air that one uses to clean computer keyboards. I sprayed the air into the nozzle that puts water back into the reservoir and air came out of the water intake hole but not the needle that puts water into the K-cup. This meant that there was a block between the the needle and the reservoir. I plugged the water intake hole with a towel and my fingers then sprayed the air into the same nozzle. All of a sudden, a large blast of water came out of the needle. The machine worked after this. Just be careful not to put your hand in front of the needle because the water might be hot. Also, unplug your machine before doing any tinkering. Hope this might help some people.

My unit says prime and no outflow.

"Prime" usually indicates the pump is sucking air. Sometimes the valve in the bottom of the water reservoir gets stiff or gunked up; if you turn off the B60, remove the water container and drip some water into the water intake until it's full, turn the unit back on, replace the water reservoir and that little amount of extra water should be enough to allow the pump to work properly.

Why do I get the Add Water error when my reservoir is full? If I am brewing a K-cup it works fine but if I try to brew a K-carafe pack it says Add Water even though the reservoir is full. This is my 6th...

I'm writing this same answer on all issues related to "add water" issues. We just purchased a brand new 2.0 yesterday and were trying to make our first cup but could not get past "add water". Among other instructions Customer Service said the water needed to be luke warm/ room temperature. We even microwaved the water jug for a minute but it didn't work. What did work was filling the reservoir half full of jug water and then adding nearly boiling water until the reservoir was at Max level. I pushed Continue and it began to work. I used a digital thermometer and saw the water temp was 113 degrees. I hope this helps you.

Add water light comes on when it is full

Try using warmer water. At 113 degrees our 2.0 finally admitted that the reservoir did in fact have enough water to operate. I filled the reservoir half full of drinking water and then heated other water in a water kettle. Just before it boiled I began pouring it in the reservoir until the Max level. To my delight when I pushed the continue button this time it worked. Customer Service had said to use luke warm/ room temperature water. For our Keurig, the water needed to be at least 113 degrees. Hope this helps.

Is prime the same as descale

I knew the paperclip trick, I tried the air shot to reverse the flow of water. After running Vinegar and water through and letting sit overnight. I tried the air blast then make a cup, another blast X 4....though I get a good flow through the K-cup area, I still only get 2/3 cup of water.

Dehumidifier indicates that it is full even though it is not

Look inside where the water reservoir sits, you should see a small float. This float triggers a switch that shuts the unit off when it gets full. You want to make sure that float is able to move freely (not caught up on the edge of the reservoir), and that it makes a "click" sound when you lift it up. If it's moving freely, but the unit still thinks it's full, you may have a faulty switch.

Says add water while reservoir is full

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

Try cleaning the reservoir, the little round disk is sticking, or try shaking the reservoir

Full water indicator lit continuously even though

Problem was a stuck float in the small water reservoir to the rear left of the unit.. Remove top and left hand side panel. Small reservoir can be seen at the bottom left. Remove small screw and slide off the cable assembly above. You should then see into the reservoir and the float. Clean float and reservoir and reassemble.

Hello im having issues with my Keurig Coffee Maker when i plug it up it the lcd reads add water so i add water then it reads not ready and a couple min later it turns of and dosent do a thing. upon turing...

The water reservoir tank probably isn't seated properly. Try wiggling the tank a bit and if that doesn't do the trick, completely remove the water reservoir and then replace it. Once it's seated properly, it should start drawing water and brew as designed. This seems to be a design flaw with this particular model, so periodic adjusting of the water reservoir may be necessary to ensure it is seated properly if your problem persists. Hope that helps! Best of luck...
