If the descale light doesn't go even after descaling.
Clean the entrance and existing needles to unclog them,
And also make sure don't pack coffee pods too tightly

All my lights are flashing and they don't want to stop mashene is not working

1. Press the auto off and small cup at the same time. Then Immediately release and re-press the small cup three times.
When it works the only light showing will be the descale light.

2. Press the small cup button then auto off button then release small cup and then auto off, when this works the lights on will be the power button light and the descale light.

ALL OF THE ABOVE DURING THE PROCEDURE MUST BEEN DONE FAST OR RAPIDLY.

3. When both of the above lights are on,(power and descale), unplug for about 3 to 5 seconds... and plug back in. The brewer should come to life and work normally.

Below is the address and Phone number to Keurig warranty service.

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 b60 says prime

This can go out by draw out some hot water. However if this happens very often then you need to perform a descale.The brewer should be descaled at least every 3-6 months. Scale is harmless, but if left unattended, it can hinder optimal brewer performance. Descaling your brewer regularly helps maintain the heating element, removable water reservoir and other parts of the brewer that come in contact with water. Better water quality and water heating means a better cup of coffee, tea, hot cocoa or iced beverage. We recommend descaling your brewer at least every 6 months (every 3 months if your water has a high mineral content). The descaling process involves using 48 ounces of undiluted white vinegar. Learn how to descale your brewer.

I have had my Kuerig coffee maker for over a year now which I believe means it's no longer under warranty. However, I paid quite a lot for it so I'd really like to see if I can have it repaired...

unfortunatly keurig treats any home model as throwaway once warrenty is up. They even do the same with mostcommercial models. By the sounds of your problems its time for a new one. sorry. try for a b145 or b150 they are a little more robust.
