Brewer Unit missing

hi,
there is a small measuring device between the grinder and the brewer, that measures grind coffee flowing into the brewer. the brewer is the removable part on the right side of the machine.
it looks like that the measuring device is clocked or in worse case broken!.
my suggestion:
1.open the door on the right side
2. remove carefully the brewer/brew unit
3. clean it under warm running water
4. clean out the surrounding area, coffee pan etc.
5. check the measuring device for clocked coffee. it is square, has a small flap and easy to access with the door open. take a soft brush and clean the area, there might be a lot of ground coffee!
6. carefully re-insert the brewer acc. to manual, do not force in place.
7. close the door and use the unit.
you might also remove all beans and clean the burrs, the ground coffee outlet and check that it is free and not clocked as well. otherwise no ground-coffee will reach the measuring device!
good luck!

Unplug the brewer. Turn it upside down. You may need to use a small screwdriver to remove small rubber pads that cover screws that hold the bottom cover to the brewer body. Remove those screws. Using a volt-ohm meter, check to see if you have power coming from the power cord to the brewer at the points on the circuit board. IF NOT, REPLACE THE POWER CORD ( cheap fix). If the power cord is working, when you take off the bottom cover and you will find a small circuit board that has very small switches that actuate the brewer. Take that circuit board off, and with a toothbrush and water/soap solution, gently clean the circuit board and then let it dry completely. CHECK the board to see if their are any burnt areas, or any deposits that are corroding connections, and check to see if all connections are unbroken. Fix anything with a small soldering iron that has separated. Let the circuit board dry in the sunlight, and then replace it and the wires connected to it. Try then to plug the cord in and turn the brewer on to see if the lights work then. IF NOT, you will have to replace the circuit board.

Step 1: Plug Brewer in and turn power "ON".
Step 2: Pour approximately 64 oz of the vinegar into the Brewer until 4 beeps signal the tank is full.
Step 3: Wait about 6 - 8 minutes for the vinegar to heat up and the green "READY" light to go on.
Step 4: Place a ceramic mug in the Drip Tray and run a brew cycle. DO NOT USE A K-CUP...just press the Brew button.
Step 5: Repeat the brew process 4 or 5 times pouring the contents of the mug back into the Brewer after each cycle.
Step 6: Now let the Brewer stand for 4 hours while still on.
Step 7: Place a ceramic mug on the Drip Tray and run 4 brew cycles, pouring the contents of the mug into the sink after each cycle.
Step 8: Turn the brewer off, let the remaining vinegar cool, and drain the brewer as instructed above.
CAUTION: Vinegar may still be hot. Remember to replace the Drain Cap.
c. RINSE
Step 1: Fill the brewer with hot tap water.
Step 2: Power up brewer.
Step 3: Wait about 6-8 minutes for the water to heat up and the Green "Ready" Light to go on.
Step 4: Place a ceramic mug on the Drip Tray and run a brew cycle.
Step 5: Repeat brew process 4 times for a total of 5 cycles.
Step 6: Drain the brewer as instructed above.
CAUTION: Water may be hot. Remember to replace the Drain Cap.
Step 7: You may need to rinse again to eliminate any residual taste.

Good luck!

Start a cycle and run 4 ounces of white vinegar and 16 ounces of water through the coffee maker.

Descaling the Brewer Mineral content in water varies from place to place. Depending on the mineral content of the water in your area, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your Brewer. Scale is non-toxic, but left unattended, it can hinder the Brewer's performance. Descaling your Brewer helps maintain the heating element and other internal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water.
NOTE: Do not use water that has been treated by a 'water softener'. The increase in sodium levels in the water can cause scaling in the brewer and hinder its performance.
The Brewer should be descaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal performance. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to descale more often. This Brewer is equipped with sensors to detect when scale buildup is interfering with the performance of the Brewer. When this is detected, the LCD screen will indicate 'DESCALE'.
NOTE: The Brewer will continue to operate even when the LCD screen indicates 'DESCALE'.
However, if you do not descale the Brewer soon after it is displayed, continued scale buildup could damage the Brewer. If this occurs, 'DESCALE' will begin to flash, alerting you to the potential damage to the Brewer if you do not descale immediately. Promptly follow these steps each time the LCD screen indicates 'DESCALE' to ensure that the Brewer functions optimally.
1. Empty the Water Tank and refill it with vinegar, filling up to the MAX mark on the water tank viewing window. 2. Place a 12 oz. or larger ceramic cup (do not use a plastic cup) on the Drip Tray. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate can be removed to accommodate taller mugs and travel mugs. 3. Select the largest brew size (11.25 oz. serving) by pressing the button on the control panel. 4. Run a cleansing brew without a K-Cup®. Pour the contents of the cup into the sink. 5. Repeat the cleansing brew process until the Water Tank is empty, pouring the contents of the cup into the sink after each cycle. Remember to raise and lower the Safety Locking Arm between each cycle so the control panel buttons illuminate. 6.
Let the Brewer stand for at least 4 hours while still on. 7. Rinse the Water Tank thoroughly and fill with fresh water. 8. Place a 12 oz. or larger ceramic cup (do not use a plastic cup) on the Drip Tray. 9. Run a cleansing brew without a K-Cup®. Pour the contents of the cup into the sink. 10. Repeat the cleansing brew process until the Water Tank is empty, pouring the contents of the cup into the sink after each cycle. You may need to perform additional rinse cycles if you notice any residual taste.

Remember to raise and lower the Safety Locking Arm between each cycle so the control panel buttons illuminate. 11. Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet for at least 15 minutes, then re-plug the power cord into the wall outlet. The machine is now ready to use.

NOTE: If the LCD screen continues to indicate 'DESCALE' after completing the process, repeat the 'Descaling the Brewer' process.

The brewer should be de-scaled at least every 3-6 months. Scale is harmless, but if left unattended, it can hinder optimal brewer performance. De-scaling 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 de-scaling your brewer at least every 6 months (every 3 months if your water has a high mineral content). The de-scaling process involves using 48 ounces of undiluted white vinegar.

Take 48 oz of white vinegar. place in tank. pretend you are making coffee (Do No Use K Cup). let the water fill you mug. then empty that mug. Do it again until tank is empty. then let sit for 4 hours.
Then fill with fresh water to the top. let that tank of water run thru. towards the end taste the water.
If you taste vinegar..use more clean water, until the taste is ok.

I tried to help you. Please help me and Vote/Rate this response. Thanks and good luck

hey just manually pull down brew group internals till neutral reached push waste flap in to lock position seen on rear tab and leave brew group unit and water tray / waste bucket out, place a small magent / metal on bottom rear left of inside panel ( check waste unit for small metal tab and align magnet on rear where this sits, at the same time then place small magnet where door tab hits plastic sensor in machine roof then power off and on machine resets to neutral remove magnets insert brew group and waste trays and u should be done. WARNING !! DO NOT ATTEMPT WITH BREW GROUP IN PLACE KEEP RESETTING MACHINE IF YOU FAIL AS IT SETS A FAULT AND WILL ENDLESSLY SPIN DRIVE

Also, if you have an in sink garbage disposal, don't waste the hot vinegar.  Pour it into the disposal, turning the unit on as you pour, off when you're done.  The vinegar is mildly acidic and will disinfect the disposal unit.

For those of you having problems with your KRUPS KP1010 Pod brewer stopping brewing in mid-cycle and then having the blue led power light blink rapidly, I have found the cause of the problem as well as a solution.
I have a Krups KP1010 pod brewer at home that is nearly 2 years old and has NEVER had a problem. Having enjoyed it’s continued great performance, when a small group (8 people) of people in my office decided to go "POD", we pooled our money to purchase the Krups.
After 8 months of moderate, not heavy, use, this problem developed. It got worse and worse, so bad that it would stop almost instantly after pressing the brew button. Sometimes it would work as normal, and other times, we found that if you applied pressure to the top lid, it would work completely.
This started me thinking that there must be a sensor switch inside to detect when the lid is open. This suspicion was backed up by the fact that when the Pod brewer was ON, but IDEL, if you open the lid, the blue light would and should blink.
Here is what I did to fix it.
If you are at all handy with taking things apart and making small minor repairs, this problem can be easily fixed rather quickly.
There is a total of 8 screws to remove. Four are located at the bottom of the unit and are the same size. Two more are located under the water tank reservoir, so you will have to remove the water tank to access them. These two screws are the same size at the four that you removed from the bottom of the unit. The last two screws are located at the top of the tank, BEHIND the lid, but can easily be seen when you remove the water tank. Turn the KP1010 around so that the tank is facing you. When you have the tank removed, look at the top area of the body of the pod brewer. These are the last two screws that you will have to remove. They are NOT the same size as the other six, and you will likely need a smaller jewelers sized Philips screw driver to remove them.
Once you get the back of the unit off, with the water tank side of the brewer facing you (coffee pod area facing AWAY from you), look in the upper right corner. Unlock the latch at the front of the brewer. Now while looking in through the back water tank area, in the upper right corner, gently raise and lower the brewer lid. You will notice that there is a LID SENSOR SWITCH. The switch is defective and, like a washing machine, when the lid is OPENED, the switch cuts the circuit (power) to the brewer, the same as when the washing machine stops when you open the lid.
The Fix: While Pod brewer is UNPLUGGED, gently grasp one of the two connector wires attached to the lid sensor switch. BE SURE TO GRAB IT FROM THE METAL CONNECTOR AND NOT THE BLACK WIRE ITSELF AS YOU MAY PULL THE WIRE AWAY FROM THE METAL CONNECTOR AND WHILE IT IS STILL REPAIRABLE AT THIS POINT, IT WILL BE MUCH MORE TIME AND SKILL CONSUMING.
Once you have removed the wire and it’s metal connector from the lid sensor switch, repeat this process with the OTHER black wire connected to the lid sensor switch.
(I tested this fix by at FIRST using basic tape) The fix for bypassing the lid sensor switch is to connect both black wires together. I initially used basic tape to ensure that my suspected cause of this problem would be fixed by my suspected solution. I then brewed 3 tanks of water back to back and the "stop brewing, rapidly flashing blue light" problem NEVER appeared. FIXED!
Now to be a bit more professional about it……… I removed the tape and soldered the metal connectors of both black wires together, and then wrapped with electrical tape. You COULD just wrap them together snugly with electrical tape if your NOT into soldering, but for the best, most secure connection, SOLDERING is the best option as there is no chance of vibration causing the black wire metal contacts from intermittently losing contact with each other. Again, if you are un-comfortable with soldering, at least try wrapping the wires snugly together with electrical tape.
Today our Krups KP1010 brewed flawlessly all day. The ONE downside to consider in this procedure is that now after having this "fix" performed, should you leave the lid of the brewer OPEN and start a brew cycle, the brewer WILL operate and shoot hot water & steam out everywhere. However, for those of you that own this brewer, you should know that having the lid open nearly completely obstructs you from easily reaching the brew button AND, what moron would leave the lid open and try to make coffee? If someone does that, they DESERVE to get burned!!
Best of Luck!!
