DIY FIX! Keurig won’t turn on. No power.

[@DylanSchwacke]

Thanks for saving me a bunch of troubleshooting. My fuse failed too. Appreciate the help!

[@JeffreyAmundson-y6s]

The perfect fix. Ordered 2 fuses so I have a spare but I moved wire away from the "pot" to keep the fuse cooler. No problems since, its been 8 months. Thankyou.

[@savemoneydiy87]

No problem. Mines been going strong since this video as well.

[@lanndroo]

Thank you for this. Ours blew this morning. Following your instructions I confirmed it was indeed the fuse and I just ordered the replacement. I hope I’m nimble enough to install the new one

[@savemoneydiy87]

No problem. And good luck

[@mr.happydays9645]

Mine blew during a descaling cleaning. Thanks for video and link. Just ordered a replacement fuse.

[@savemoneydiy87]

No problem. Happy to help. Mine is still working just fine.

[@JonathanDavid374]

Once you replace the fuse, how do you keep it from blowing again when descaling again?

[@Judy-nt7gp]

Awesome video! Thanks for helping me get my daughter's Keurig working again!!!

[@savemoneydiy87]

No problem. Glad it helped.

[@arnoldca8377]

Right on!! We have a different model Keurig, but same basic function same thermal fuse problem except mine is a disk shape about 1/4" thick. Now i just gotta locate one... But at least its turning on and getting hot again, so i know it works... Big Thanks!!

[@savemoneydiy87]

No problem. Glad it helped.

[@FugazStar]

Thank you very much, and for including the link for the part. This fixed it for me 👍

My Keurig K-Duo was a month short of five years old when it went totally dead last week. I checked the thermal fuse but it shows continuity so this fix will not work for me. Thanks for the excellent video just the same. I am still looking into it and I currently suspect the power supply. To those of you replacing your thermal fuse: it doesn't matter which way the fuse goes in but I recommend using crimp connectors - NOT SOLDERING - to replace it. NTE seems to have gone out of business but I believe this particular device is a one-time thermal fuse. Soldering it will likely cause it to go open - forever. Don't forget to put the high-temperature sleeving back in place around the fuse so it doesn't short to the heating tank. Even though NTE may be closed for good I was able to find the NTE8125 available from various distributors. Just make sure the one you buy is rated for use at least 250V (or 277V), has a rated current of 15A and is set to open at 128°C. I found several on Amazon that meet that description. DigiKey and Mouser probably carry them as well. If my fuse had been the problem I planned to test it with no fuse, just to make sure something else didn't cause the fuse to open in the first place. But I AM a scaredy cat when it comes to electrical appliances, especially those that need to heat water. I would not run one of these coffee pots without a fuse - except for testing - since the fault that caused the fuse to open may still be lurking.

Thanks for watching and the write up as it may help others as well. Hopefully you’ll get yours going.

[@tombade8301]

Someone gave me one that had this issue... brand new...$6 for a brand new Keurig? Yes, please! Thank you for putting this together! 🎉

[@savemoneydiy87]

Nice. I think they had some major quality control issues on these. Mine has worked perfectly since I fixed it but I’m apparently not the only one that’s had this issue. My father in law got the same one and it appeared to be new however it wouldn’t pump any water. I opened it up and found a wire had come unsoldered from the water pump.

[@natedee1939]

worked like a charm and took less than 10 min!!!!! thnx!

[@savemoneydiy87]

No problem. Glad it helped.

[@rickparente3446]

The fuse that you pulled out of the coffee maker was specifically a 15A 128 deg C thermal cutoff fuse? Just want to double check with you first

[@savemoneydiy87]

Correct. There is a direct link in the description but yes that’s what it is.

[@TheBDS1981]

Thank you for the video, It helps to diagnose the problem. I ordered the fuse, however it is very difficult to connect it in its place. How are you able to put in such a narrow place. Any advices or video to show that? Thanks!

[@savemoneydiy87]

I removed it from under the bracket and pulled it away as best as I could.

[@rickparente3446]

So followed your advice and figured out existing thermal fuse was bad and purchased a new one. Unfortunately I amde the mistake of not remembering which direction the fuse needs to go and was hoping you could help me out. Thank you in advance.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Direction doesn’t matter on a fuse.

[@rickparente3446]

@@savemoneydiy87 it worked. Thank you for making this super helpful video.

[@savemoneydiy87]

No problem and thanks for watching. It’s getting close to a year since I fixed mine and it still works fine and gets used daily.

[@rickparente3446]

@savemoneydiy87 **Update** It was working fine and I had filled the reservoir with a white vinegar/water solution to clean out the entire coffee maker and ran both sides several times last night and this morning and blew out that fuse again. I'm not sure if I overheated it by using it so much within a short time span or if there is another underlying issue with the coffee maker. Do you think I would be OK using a thermal fuse with a slightly higher temp instead of 128°C threshold?

[@savemoneydiy87]

You could try it. If it was mine that’s what I’d do. I assume you are sure you got a good crimp connection on your new fuse.

[@MatthewPetras]

Thanks. Got mine working.

[@savemoneydiy87]

Glad it helped

[@JasonSmith-wu7dm]

How long did your fix last? Wonder if it happens again do you try I higher temp or higher amp fuse?

[@savemoneydiy87]

It’s still going. I use it daily. It sounds like it blows if you do the descaling process but I’m not sure. I don’t ever do that.

[@JasonSmith-wu7dm]

Weird…cheap fuses maybe. Mine was 37 days old and blew after brewing a regular pot. I have a new one coming via warranty but figure I’ll fix this one as a backup.

[@dawnellenhutson-auer3963]

Loved your video, told this 64 year woman what to do...and then again what not to do. I disassembled easily, located the fuse and wire...snipped that no need for a fuse to be there item, (only to break again and repeat) saved the $6 and a day or two of no coffee, hot wired it together with some electrical tape like my generation Jones would do, snapped it back together and wham bam thank you mam...we are all happy except those of you that will exclaim; did I pull the city permit? the house will burn down...literally tonight (ummmm, if your that scardey cat pull the plug after using), and of course the mfg who really just wanted me to buy another one. Nope, I'm from the hose drinking, no seat belt wearing, played in the streets until the lights came on (more in fear of a whooping which is different than a beating) gal. Have lived life hard and fast and if God chooses to take me out over a fuse...then His will be done, Amen.

[@savemoneydiy87]

😂😂Excellent. Thanks for watching.

[@Judy-nt7gp]

Yep, I'm 68 and whole-heartedly agree 😉

[@dethcicle7159]

I have a Keurig K-1500 that stopped working. Thought it was the thermal fuse because the reservoir was emptied while still hot. Still not turning on even after cooldown, but still lets me toggle the auto-off feature. Replaced thermal fuse, but still not working. What else could it be?

[@savemoneydiy87]

I’m not sure. Mine would not turn on at all. If you have a meter you can try tracing your voltage until you see where you are losing it.

[@tr8441]

Do i need to have the fuse in it

[@savemoneydiy87]

If you want it to be protected you do.

[@tr8441]

But what will happen if I don't put one back in there and just run it straight?

[@savemoneydiy87]

If the fuse you removed was bad and you remove it and straight wire it, it will work you just won’t have fused protection.

[@tr8441]

@@savemoneydiy87 ok thanks

[@savemoneydiy87]

Did you get it going?

[@carlosvillasenor9836]

Some buddy gave me his said it has this issue if I can fix it I can have it but seems like these keurig machines have a defect idk

[@savemoneydiy87]

I agree. My fathher-in-law and I both bought ours from a return store. They were both new but had been returned. Mine had this problem and his wouldn’t pump water. I fixed them both but Keurig definitely had some issues on these. Neither one has broken again though so 🤞. It’s been about a year.

[@carlosvillasenor9836]

@@savemoneydiy87 I am at the point there I got the fuse out behind the clamp just. It sure if i should crimp it or solder it. I hope it goes well and smoothly. Good to hear your machine is still kicking strong 💪 how did you fix yours

I crimped mine back on.

[@anjilashrestha8764]

My coffee maker works fine, but the frother doesn't have power. Please help...

[@savemoneydiy87]

I can’t help on that one. I don’t have any experience fixing those.

[@EarlKelly-sw2nn]

Just say what's wrong with it

[@ridge9577]

This is one year ago so you probably won't see this comment. Would it hurt it if I soldered it to the wires instead of crimping it?

[@savemoneydiy87]

I don’t think so. It may be more of a pain since it’s not stranded wire but as long as it’s got a good connection you may be ok.

[@ridge9577]

@savemoneydiy87 it's ok I'll go to my local hardware store and fine some crimp connectors for cheap and found some fuses on Amazon 5 for $16

[@ridge9577]

@@savemoneydiy87 You dont happen to know the size of wire it is do you?

Around 16-14 gauge if I remember right.

[@gram8821]

I’ll save all of you some money, don’t get one.

[@lmk6972]

Agreed, I have two different models and I am always replacing the thermal fuse and manually resetting the other one.. especially after descaling. Keurig really needs to address this fuse issue.
