1. There is some confusion over models. I've seen "B40" models and instructions with only one size cup button, both labeled B40. I own one stamped "B40" on the bottom, and it has two buttons -- small and large. FWIW, small = 8 oz, large = 10 oz.

2. These reset instructions from another site seemed to do something
What to Do If Your Keurig Won Brew Cup Barista

So.. this is what I did that worked for mine: 1) Hold down Auto-Off and LARGE cup at same time. (all lights should hold steady ON) 2) press SMALL cup while still holding Auto-Off and LARGE cup 3) Release all three, press LARGE cup again.. all lights should go off. 4) Unplug for about 5 - 10 second, plug back in. SHOULD WORK!

3. On *_my_* B40, remove the K-cup, close the door, fill the reservoir. Unplug and replug the B40. All lights should be off.

Pressing "Auto Off" and "Large Cup" together will turn on 3 lights (Heating, Add Water, Power) for about 3 seconds. Doesn't matter how long the buttons are pressed or what order they are released.

I tried lots of add-on combinations: e.g. press button x, press x multiple times, press x while lights are still on, press x after lights are off, press buttons x and y together, press x then y, press x and/or y while still holding Auto and Large, release Auto but not Large and press x, etc.

Nothing gave any confirmation that a reset was accepted. All lights always turned off after 3 seconds. Maybe Reset is only 1 step, i.e. Auto+Large together?

    The B40 brewer has no star key. This must be for another model.

    More info: These seems to be a B40 model with only one size cup button. (I own one stamped B40 with 2 different size buttons). Maybe this referrs to just the one size cup B40 version.

Lift the handle to open the k-cup holder and then close it back up. The coffee mug lights should begin to blink for you.

SOURCE: All LED lights flashing and the brewer does not work

Just got my fixed from tech support... the following is the procedure that works:
1. Hit auto off and small cup at the same time and release hit small cup three times, when it works the only light showing will be the descale light....
2. hit small cup then auto off, then release small cup and then auto off, when this works 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. With both of the above lights on unplug for about 3 to 5 seconds... and then the brewer comes to life.. and WORKS


I am now drinking a great coffee brew and enjoying it... This does work, but you have to push the buttons in the sequence I have listed and FAST!!!!!!

Yesterday, my Keurig was giving me trouble with the menu, but it still made my coffee. That was the first time my coffee machine has ever given me trouble over the nearly year and a half I've owned it....

Hi,

The problem is often that the machine develops a leak in the hose that is rightover the transformer...the water drips onto the transformer and kills that...then you have no power to run the machine.

Here is a tip that I wrote about this problem...

Keurig b40 elite,when plugged in, all lights keep blinking.

After trying everything that I have read about I finely made up my mind that this thing could not be fixed so I decided to just push all the buttons and hold them down for awhile when I let them go the lights went off and now it is working just fine.

Keurig won't turn on, power light just blinks green

Try picking up the handle where you put the coffee and kinda slam (not too hard) back down. I found that resets the coffeemaker. Also when you make coffee I also noticed that you when the water is hot you have to pick up the handle again and put it back down then the two blue lights start to blink and you decide what size cup you want.
