Fixing a Ninja Coffee Bar - Ninja Coffee Maker Beeps 5 Times and Won't Brew

[@Michael-cj1dz]

Owned my ninja coffee maker for 6+ years and never thought to clean the top. Great video thank you for a quality informational video. 👍

[@llee-uz6yz]

My partner swore the Ninja was headed for the trash. He went directly to the manufacturer website and tried all their remedies to no avail. After seeing this video, I cleaned her up properly and burped her a few times. Bingo- she’s back from the grave. Thank you so much!!

[@BrickBuildingKids]

That’s fantastic! The Ninja brew another day! I’m glad we helped.

[@Qu33n-6]

2023 and you save my coffee maker , last method works for me , thank you 🙏

[@bookwormbunny2936]

Thank you so much for sharing, you saved my father's day presents. I've been using it everyday for 4 years

[@Sam-fc2ir]

Omg you're a saint! I tried everything and nothing had worked- until I smacked it around and got aaaaallll the water and air out! Instantly started working again. I had torn it apart, cleaned it over and over, nothing helped. Thank you so much!! This was not something anyone else mentioned.

[@sabasarda9336]

Thank you so much for this video. Cleaning did it for me. I wasted half of my day trying to fix my Ninja. Your video helped. Such a simple but a crucial tip. Thanks again

[@Kelleyk431]

I tried cleaning the water reservoir and the little push buttons inside, decalcifying with vinegar, and running the clean cycle (which would only run for the same 15 seconds). I took your advice and wiped everything down SUPER thoroughly, ran the clean cycle all the way through, and "burped" the coffee maker (watch out for the hot surface, ouch). YAY! You just saved me a hundred dollars! We have coffee!!

[@ez2hotwire]

Man oh man! My wife cleaned our Ninja before we moved and it sat in a storage pod for 6 weeks. We finally moved in, fired her up and 5 beeps of sheer terror. BUT, after seeing this video, I burped her upside down and cleaned her up underneath the steam part (sensors) and she works again!! Thank you for the great tips! 🙏 Life can and will proceed, back to normal!

[@jenpisano1]

Im gonna do ALL of these steps tonight! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

[@maddiesmommy1023]

Your tips worked. Before I watched your video I tried several tips. You saved me about $150.

[@terrihedgecock1601]

Thank you for adding on the last bit about burping! I had tried everything else before I came upon your video. I'm so glad I listened till the end.

[@angelov6088]

Yup this did the trick!! Thing started burping up tons of liquid turn upside down and tap on it!!!

[@maceyforsyth1872]

The burp is what did it for us after I didn't realize how to get our machine properly cleaned for a long time. Thank you so much!

[@antoniolagarde8380]

Lifesaver man!!! I even called Ninja to see if they had any way I could pay for them to fix it and they said only thing I could do is buy a new one... figured there HAD to be a way to fix it. You saved my life, and my coffee.

[@halfdeaf89]

Worked for me! I had the calcium build up in the heater core as well as gummed up sensor on the coffee basket. Totally worth the time!!

[@concernedcitizen8481]

Im glad I found your video. I about threw out a 160 dollar coffee maker. Mine was the bubble thing. Thank you!

[@rebeccaw4687]

THANK YOU!!! I turned the pot upside down and cleaned top and water come out three different times w particles. It worked!!

[@angiethomas5479]

The burping worked!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I was about to cry!!

[@lucy16076]

The burp did it!! Thank you for saving my birthday cup of coffee this morning!!! 😊

[@hannahholte2797]

Works now! Wow! Watching this video was making me sad that all methods weren’t working, but the very last one of “burping” the machine did the trick! Thank you!! Would have never thought to do that

[@jeni84arch]

That solved it! Thank you so much, I thought I’d have to buy a new one.

[@PJCookAC-130]

Awesome Worked perfectly for me. Used the White Vinegar to clean the underside of the top and I also ran 2 cycles of cleaning with the Vinegar as well...it worked! Thanks!!!

[@iainmccarron3953]

Thanks so much. We were looking at buying a new machine til we saw your video. It worked great.

[@khai-creates]

Thanks a bunch! I was really getting tired of manually making coffee by pressing the brew button like 10times😅

[@PrincessNiteGrl]

I don’t know exactly which part worked, but it worked! Thank you!!

[@BrickBuildingKids]

Glad it helped!

[@nancypowers3877]

Definitely the burping the coffee maker. After burping, I lifted the water reservoir and pushed the button where the water goes in. Once I hit brew it didn't beeped again! Thanks

[@marycopeland9340]

I bought one 18 months ago. Gave it to my daughter as a house warming gift! She used it 90 days……..this thing was $149 bucks! I packed it up and she never sent it back to MFG. …….now she is moving and found the NINJA😮 I am watching this video now because I brought it home with me and am determined to get this damn thing fixed! Thanks for all the help❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

[@tammyclemens3526]

Success Thankyou Thankyou! Drives me crazy!!!! Love my Ninja except when it does this lol😊

[@JANEEDISTURBED]

The way you described how to fix the Keurig, is the old school way of fixing most things back in our day lmao. That's how it's done lol!

[@mattanthony6968]

X

[@MightyMouse2530]

Dude, you are the man! I followed everything you did and finally the last thing you suggested, which was to wipe everything including the top part where the coffee drips out. No more 5 beeps of death. I'm looking forward to my fresh cup of coffee first thing in the morning.

[@BrickBuildingKids]

Awesome!!! Thanks so much for the comment. Hope you enjoyed your brew this morning.

[@ozrandall1591]

Thank you for saving my Ninja Bar which we love in this house. Your suggestion prevented me from buying another one as Ninja stated there is nothing we can do your warranty is done. Well our machine is perculating and we are celebrating with fresh coffee from a good machine. God Bless you and yours.

[@BrickBuildingKids]

Thank you so much for the comment and positivity! I love it and I’m glad your coffee maker is still going strong! I love mine too! Keeps going strong. This still happens occasionally.....but it always comes back.

[@bradcalderone8958]

I had this problem where the clean cycle would want to light up when trying to brew a cup. I had to take the top apart to get to the sensor. The tube that the water travels through was calcified. If your comfortable pulling things apart this is the best fix.

[@marymorabito236]

Thanks for the info; turning the machine upside down & tapping the bottom fixed it!!!!

[@brapprapp20]

I cleaned it and it didn't work then did the burp and now mine is working great, there was quite a bit of stuff floating in the water in my coffee pop after it was done. Thanks for this video

[@SussBus]

Thanks!! I have the bigger model. I tried taking off the bottom to purge the lines, and reconnect the wires, and nothing was working!... flipped it upside down and saw the TINIEST bit of calcium buildup where the filter slide closes. Cleaned up with white vinegar, and works like new again!! 👍

[@BrickBuildingKids]

Awesome!!!!

[@CarolynAmador68]

Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much!!!! Mine was about to go to the dumpster!!!! Watched this, tried it, and I have my coffee bar back!!!! Thank you SO much!

[@MelissaCornwall]

The problem is that I can't run a cleaning cycle because it will start beeping and stop the cycle in 15 seconds.

[@Coconut_Paul]

same here :( Almost debating if i should buy a different brand coffee maker :(

[@itsjenalauren]

Mine would barely start the cleaning cycle as well. I tried the burping method mentioned in video then tried the clean cycle and it’s working now!

[@nila309]

My cleaning cycle is a full 60 minutes. I cleaned it with the vinegar solution and it still does this.

[@ashleym.4071]

Ni La mine is too. You have to open it up and in the warmer, you have to scrape the calcium build up and soak it with vinegar.

[@nila309]

Ashley M. I figured it out. I still had coffee grounds on the roof of the underside of the machine. I went to wipe it and all the grounds started falling. It’s on the part that is no removable. Once I got that all wiped away, it started running like new. I was afraid I was gong to have to replace it. Glad I don’t.

[@godivafilm]

Turning it over and burping helped and fixed this- THANK YOU for that advice!!!!

[@BrickBuildingKids]

It’s the strangest thing to burp the coffee maker but it sure beats buying a new one. Thanks for the comment!

[@normaramirez8267]

Another happy commenter… it worked after burping my ninja coffee bar system 🙌🏼🎉 Thanks! We can keep enjoying coffee ☕️

[@BrickBuildingKids]

Awesome! Thanks for dropping a comment. Enjoy your ☕️.

[@soto2090]

Burping method worked ! Thanks !

[@sunnykrusty]

I tried to run the cleaning cycle but the machine did only beep and said on the screen " add more water " , I took the water reservoir off and blew in the opening where the reservoir attaches and voila it works again like a charm. The cleaning cycle works now and tomorrow I'll run a cycle with vinegar through it.Thanks for the video 👍 I will keep better maintenance from now on. My wife loves this machine.

[@latrellbrooks9649]

You're a legend my guy. Burping actually worked for me as well. I found hard water inside after and wiped it down.

[@BrickBuildingKids]

Awesome! Glad it helped!!

[@shamikaclark3420]

You have save me from buying another coffee pot My light has been blinking a couple of months I could not figure out why I ran it to clean it with the vinegar in water and it still remained on. All it took was for me to wipe it down with a vinegar and water and wahla it works perfectly fine thank you

[@sisbugmunk468]

I wish I would have seen this video a week ago! The burping method totally worked!!! I am so glad I didn’t go to the extreme of ordering a new water reservoir! Thank you for posting this video!!!!!

[@histacey]

Ty for helping me fix my drugs

[@eaustin92703]

Awesome! That last part about burping was the issue with my Ninja Coffee Bar, it’s working perfectly again now!

[@ahlamalgamry6218]

Thaaaaank you very much for solving this big problem, I was about to through it and bring another brand, so really appreciate that you brought my coffee machine back to live.

[@BrickBuildingKids]

So glad to hear that! Thanks for commenting.

[@jameskeebler6049]

Thank you. The last step you illustrated worked, and the coffee maker is now repaired.

[@jebbiechirieleison-miller2360]

The burp trick worked, plus i cleaned that poor ninja . Thank you for the tips

[@nila309]

😆

[@andrewmccarthy1669]

Whiling underneath the top cleared off old gunk. Thanks for this

[@RickNacino]

Thank you! Looks like burping method did the trick for me. I also held the reservoir button down while burping to clear all the water out.

[@zorrozouchao]

Just here to say thank you! $100 saved

[@BrickBuildingKids]

Awesome! Glad it helped!!

[@ghostexicon]

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

[@jcgrace1000]

Thank you thank you thank you are love my ninja coffee bar it is the best coffee pot I’ve ever had I love it I cannot believe I got it working thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you amazing you are amazing

[@lynnejohnson7970]

Thank you so much! Wiping it down worked for me...especially above the filter basket.

[@jeffreybineau6020]

Worked !! Had to flip it and bang on it but it worked, thanks !

[@lisaruiz149]

I just got this coffee maker a couple of days ago. Thankfully, very little money, I bought it from a friend of mine. She said it needed a good cleaning. Not familiar with it, I thought, "Eh, that can't be too hard, I'll give it a shot." Soooooooooo, after reading the manual, I attempted to clean it. It wouldn't even go through the cycle. Frustrated with it, I showed my spouse the issues, he couldn't get it to work either. Me, I was about to put it into the donate pile when I came across this video. I will be pulling it out of the pile and giving this a shot. I will let you know if it worked for me. Meanwhile, back to my Keurig. But I really hope to get my Ninja fixed. It would be nice to have a full pot of coffee.

[@nickchapman6659]

THANK YOU! Was about to give up, but the thorough rim clean and "roof" clean of the machine did the final trick. Mr. Coffee goes back on reserve in the cupboard.

[@jessicafick1714]

Thank you so much! Was about to give up. Not sure if it was cleaning underneath or the burping, but one of those methods worked!!!

[@emmaelyse142]

This problem has been driving me crazy for days. Thank you so much for your help. I didn’t realize how dirty the under part was on mine and while that didn’t solve the problem the burping suggestion did!!

[@BrickBuildingKids]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment! Glad it helped!

[@gaylespencer7710]

This got mine working again.....not sure if it was the reset by unplugging and plugging back in or cleaning where water drips, but it's WORKING now!

[@steveberelo245]

You're the man!!Burped it,running like butter😉

[@usawife]

I did everything and nothing worked. Then you said “if you tried all of this and nothing works, turn the machine upside down…”. So , I did that. I “burped” the baby. It WORKED! I’m so happy!!!! Yay! I was an instant fan when I saw your coffee mug!!

[@BrickBuildingKids]

Excellent! Glad we could help and I appreciate the comment!

[@phreddy148]

I need a way to keep the clean light off for more than a week. I have gone through 2 gallons of vinegar and done like 6 4 hours cleaning cycles and the most i can get it to stay off is 5 days.

[@jenniferdoty8662]

You may need to use an actual pot cleaner rather than vinegar. If you have a large amount of scaling/mineral deposit in your maker, vinegar becomes less effective. We run a store bought product through our machine and it’s good for several months. Try to use filtered water in your maker once you’ve gotten it clean. Hope this helps!

[@nicolebellaremini6851]

Okay going to give it a try. We never use this darn thing except for when people stay for the weekend and today it kept beeping. I will let you know

[@BrickBuildingKids]

I hope it helped!

[@theresacurrin6395]

Tried all the suggestions and it worked!👏👏👏. Thanks so much! The part above the basket was nasty.

[@claralopez7118]

How do you cleaned out the part where you put your coffee grinds. Because I’m having an issue and that part fills up with water. Unsure how to unclog that part. Hoping it’ll say something by the end of this video

[@MetalChica7]

How do you clean the water filter in the water reservoir? That’s what I need help with... there’s yellow buildup inside.

[@chrisminyard8830]

You are awesome!

[@leighradiziwon3789]

Omg this totally worked!!!! I can’t thank you enough! I totally thought my maker was going in the garbage.

[@BrickBuildingKids]

Wonderful to hear! Glad it helped. I appreciate you leaving me a comment.

[@suziesikorski1249]

Awesome! The hot water run through worked, but I cleaned the drip spout as well for good measure

[@lynn82186]

Thank you!!! Took every step you recommended, but it finally worked!!

[@susanamy5991]

Thank you so much! It just started and I couldn't complete a cleaning cycle, but the burping fixed the problem. Thank you again!

[@isidorophoto30]

your video was very helpful,thank you so much.

[@madisontaylorr5677]

The burping worked!!! Thank you!!!

[@MrRenee77]

The burping worked! I also had to clean top right above filter where water drips... thank you so much!!! I thought I needed to buy a new one!

[@BrickBuildingKids]

I thought the same thing a few times but these methods usually get it back up and running. Thanks for watching!

[@vbartuccio1]

I didn't know having three kids was just preparing me for the day I needed to burp my coffee pot. Needless to say, ninja never stood a chance.

[@fastlap2]

Thanks I got mine running right again.👍

[@spoonie1972]

Absolute legend. Thank you.

[@richardortiz5709]

Omg!! Thank you the burping is what fix mine you are a legend!!!

[@GabrielCJr]

Turning over just solved the problem. Thank you, man!

[@ryandunaway7443]

I tried everything including blowing into the water port. The surface above the coffee filter area was really dirty. Wiping it down did the trick. Thanks!!!!

[@happygirl2901]

Thanks I have a brand new NInja Hot and Cold 301 and got err 9 and nothing in manual about it. Its new so no calcium etc or clean issues so I flipped it over the sink and water came out and when I replaced it there was a surge of air bubbles that came into the water reservoir like the first time and Voila Problem solved. Yeah!!!! It is an engineering flaw for they could have made a burping bypass to avoid this issue. It doesn't beep but was stopping mid brew. Also, I'm going to pour the water with removing the reservoir to help avoid this. Otherwise I love the tea brewing function. I made Rose petal tea OMG Good and MInt so far.

[@kellidwyer9754]

Worked wonders for us. Thanks for the tip. Really wouldn't have thought to wipe that part down.

[@Smoking_Rhino]

Bump trick and cycling water helped a ton. Thank you 👊

[@dustinkadri664]

Burp trick helped for me as well. Thank you!

[@sharonmcdonald9642]

Thanks! I have coffee again!

[@daniesmiley]

So my coffee maker is the exact same model is yours and this morning it decided to go haywire and pull all of the water that was in the tank instead of the one cup it was supposed to make. Do you think that this could be the same kind of issue just backwards?

[@_cineris]

You just saved the day. Thanks for the video!

[@paulinarodriguez8371]

This actually worked, Thank you for saving my Ninja coffee maker!

[@ahat259]

Also replaced filter and reservoir. What did work was flipping it up side down and "burping it". Make sure all water inside the machine is cleared out (under the reservoir and above brew basket)

[@jennifererickson3861]

Amazing! I never would have thought this! I don’t have any hard water spots and I still did the vinegar. Also flipped it upside down and did the burp. It is running my clean cycle six minutes of 60 so far an obese. Thank you!

[@jennifererickson3861]

So the first time I tried to brew after the clean cycle I got the drip stop beep after about five seconds and minimal water usage. Tried it out of sheer insanity again and it used approximately 20% of the water and ran for 30 seconds. Tried it again and it worked for five seconds. This is the second machine that this is happened to me. The last about two years and then they seem to not want to work. Very sad because it is the best cup of coffee I’ve ever made. But I have to be done with the ninja bar

[@skarletgonzalez8581]

Hello, I try your advice and didn’t seem to work. My doesn’t even start the cleaning cycle it only shows the 60min countdown. What would you suggest I do

[@TheMryjones]

Thanks bud, as a single mom that wakes up at 2am to teach online then moms all day - my daughter and I students thank you for making this video haha :) a coffee free day would have been less than ideal, thanks for the quick fix :)

[@Gajh2014]

you were Jonesing :)

[@sylvaingirard8385]

I’ve made the burpin thing and it worked for me !! Thanks !! It was helpful

[@Tyler_Hodges]

Mine is brewing 4 Oz TOO MUCH and then 5 beeps. I always assumed the beeps were to let you know it’s finished. Is it even supposed to beep at all if working correctly?

[@syedquadri3570]

None of these worked for me except "burping the Ninja". It works great now! Thanks for the tips.

[@krystal312]

Burping worked, thank you!

[@KimSkylar]

Wiped the inside top and it's fixed! Thank you!

[@wilmermendez443]

Thank you so much! I cleaned exactly how you do it and it worked.

[@tylerevans9861]

I was skeptical that the burp method would work after we were receiving the five beeps of death. It worked! Give it a go, even if you are skeptical.

[@dalallier]

Thank you so much! It worked! Not sure which part did the trick, but pretty sure it was the burping 😀
