1. Power off machine.

2. Using a metal paperclip, insert it into left side of top needle. It must insert at least 1" deep. Insert it into slot on right side and again from back of needle.

3. Remove KCup cradle. Separate bottom from top. In the top section, insert the paperclip up into bottom needle from the bottom upwards. It will not go all the way thru and this is normal.

4. Reassemble KCup cradle and reinsert it back into coffee maker.

5. Power on machine.

6. Brew a cup of water only. There may be coffee grounds in the water and these should eventually clear during the remaining steps. NOTE: A large cup brew cycle should output a full 8 ounces (235cc). Less means there is still a blockage

    I had tried everything, but the paperclip, cleaning the K-cup cradle; wiping around the needle; but since the water always flowed without the K-cup; I really didn't think this would work, but I just brewed me a cup of tea; the first drink in 4 days! Thank you!!!! Funny thing, it was such an easy fix.

    Thrilled tobe of help.

    Isn't a great when there is a simple fix. The sad thing is there is another fix to these same symptoms where this person has stated "it is definitely broken and I can sell you the replacement parts"... Hopefully few people are fooled into paying someone to repair or replace anything when it can be cleaned at the cost of a paper clip... a few cents!

Sounds like a cleaning problem. Mix 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water pout into machine and brew,WITHOUT K CUP! Do 5-6 x's and then brew plain water to rinse vinegar out. Do this several times. Should be ready to go.

The machine will not pump water to make cup of coffee. Cleaned needle area, powered on and off, nothing. The descale light has never come on in 3 years we have had machine. Can't even attempt to descale...

Step 1: Lift up the water reservoir and drop it back into place. There is a magnet that has to be in the right position and putting the reservoir back into place causes it to go back where it should be. This method has worked for me.
Step 3: It could be that your Keurig's water line is clogged. To flush out debris, run water through your brewer a few times without a K-Cup. I'd recommend this step if your Keurig is brewing some coffee, just not a full cup.
Step 4: Try turning the power on and off or try unplugging (for a long stretch if you can). When you turn the Keurig back on, be sure to give it plenty of warm-up time. This has also worked for me.
Step 5: It may be time to descale. Most models will give you a message when it's time to have the mineral deposits cleaned. Go here for instructions
Step 6: Turn off your brewer and use an unfolded paperclip to clean out the holes in the top needle.
Step 7: If you've given your Keurig a good spanking and it still won't behave, contact Keurig (866-901-BREW) for help.

My Keurig coffee maker seems to be clogged - it spits out just a little bit of coffee, or none at all. How do I fix it?

My 9 month old machine only spits out water for a second

I called Keurig and they felt that it was likely a blockage at the needles, but despite cleaning them repeatedly, there was no improvement. They are sending me a replacement.

Keurig B60 coffeemaker stopped pumping water because I didn't notice there was almost no water left in the chamber and started it--I added water right away but it won't pump any more water out of the...

This morning my Keurig sounds like it begins to pull water then stops. I tried to cut it off then back on. Still didn't work.Removed water from reservoir and K-cup and added pure vinegar. Ran machine several times without filter or Kcup by pressing cup selector several times. You must open K-cup holder and close each time. I had to do this about a dozen times before the water began to draw again. Flushed system by filling water reservoir with fresh water, and brewed just plain water until vinegar was gone.Works like brand new.
