Try cleaning with vinegar (per the instructions). Repeat the process if once doesn't do the trick.

Keurig won't work if there is a K-cup in however water flows through perfectly without it?

TRY..Lifting 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.
It may be time to descale. Most models will give you a message when it's time to have the mineral deposits cleaned.
HERES HOW TO DO IT:

Pour approx 48 ouncs of white vinegar into the water resevoir. PLacew a large mug on the drip tray, DO NOT use a K-Cup, press the brew button. Pour contents into sink. REPEAT this process until the ADD WATER idicator light, lights up. Let brewer stand for at least 4 hours while it is on. Discard any residual vinegar in the resevoir and rinse thorughly.
FILL the resevoir with fresh water. Place a lage mug on the drip tray and hit brew, again NO K-CUP, pour contents of mug into sink.REPEAT until "ADD WATER" is indicated.
YOU MAY NEED TO REPEAT THE RINSE CYCLE IF YOU NOTICE ANY RESIDUAL VINEGAR TASTE
