Two years later and you're still helping. I've been struggling for about a month with mine making less and less coffee. I'll have to run it 4times before I got half a cup. Your advice got me back to a full cup in one try. I'm so grateful.

You are so welcome, I am glad your Keurig is working. Thank you for your kind feedback! 😊

What did you do to it mam ?

[@bresina63]

@@Journeyman-Fixit Just wants to say "Thanks". The wife was banging the daylights out of the coffee maker. Lifted that reservoir out and it was bad. Cleaned that valve assembly and working as good as new.

Where was this video 2 years ago? I used Kuerig for years, got 2 years tops out of them and tossed them for this very reason. I even purchased the office grade unit, same problem. Finally bought a Cuisinart, never looked back, have had mine 3 years, works as good as the day I bought it. Getting to the point, this is fantastic info, thanks for posting, this will help save many people money, this is why I continue to watch you tube. There are many clever people out there, and you are one of them.

This works. The only downside is that miserably unhappy people who were unable to get their morning coffee come here and it’s slightly painful to get a minutes worth of info stretched out to four and a half minutes. Thank you nonetheless!

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Hopefully they are somewhat awake (and are in a good state of mind) when looking for a fix here on KZbin! But to your point one can never be totally certain of anything... I hope I helped in some small way - thank you. (BTW: In the future I will try to be more brief). Thanks for stopping by! 😊

[@freddyplaisted6473]

This is the best fix EVER on KZbin! I did all the descaling and needle paper clip stuff for over a year with no results. This fixed the problem in less than 5 minutes... No more double and triple Pumping!

Thanks for your kind feedback, I discovered that fix after throwing two other Keurigs away and my Wife had "descaled" the third one 5 times in a row with no results! Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.

[@naimi9584]

This is my second Keurig Coffee Brewer. kzbin.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first one lasted 6 years. It worked beautifully until the day it didn't. It was hard to go back to the drip coffee for a couple of days while I waited on my Keurig to get here. There is a huge difference in the taste. Keurig makes a really good cup of coffee. This new one is a little different from my old one. I find putting the water filter in was easier than on the old one. Attaching the water reservoir was also a little different but once I figured it out, it too was easier. This new one has the auto off feature but is not programmable like the old one. Only three cup sizes instead of four. The odd thing for me was how much lighter in weight this one is compared to my old one. More plastic and much less metal in the construction of this one. The price is so much less than the original Keurig that I bought and the coffee tastes the same so all in all I am satisfied.

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

I hope it works out ok for you!

[@wandagladney5439]

How in the WORLD did you ever discover this???? I had descaled our coffee maker at work and thought it was just too soon for it to STOP PUMPING. I did this and BAM, back in business. Thanks a bunch.

Hi Wanda, my dear sweet Wife was going crazy descaling ours to no avail. So glad to hear you are back up and running again. Thank for your thoughtful feedback!

Common sense, I figured it out on my own as well.

[@jerauldnumata1297]

Bravo, thanks a bunch. This did the trick. I took off the bottom plate, and the tubing and all looked very clean even though it is several years old.

[@earlbryant4903]

Thank you so much for this simple solution. I noticed that sometimes removing the tank and putting it back helped but did not check the valve and spring. Of course descaling sometimes helps too but for now this is my problem. I am amazed how people taking "time" of their schedules to post videos helps us all.

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

I thought it would be helpful to others as per the owner's manual it mentions descaling (my wife descaled ours six times before coming to me and saying that it was not helping) upon further observation I discovered the valve issue. Thanks for your feedback!

[@TED50s]

I retrieve the same coffee machine from my grandson’s room, when he moved out of my ex-wife‘s house. It had sat on the shelf for at least two years I replace the water tank and almost threw the machine out when it wasn’t working. While my wife was doing a return on Amazon. I looked in my iPad at your video. I gave it a try and lo and behold it worked. Thanks for saving me a few bucks on replacing the coffee maker.

Hello Ted, So glad to hear that! It is so good when I get feedback. Thank you so much and God bless, glad to help!

[@oshpunit987]

A friend had a keurig and it quit working. He destroyed it taking it apart but found what he thought was black bugs in the hose between the tanks. I was about to tear mine apart but thought I'd check youtube first. I tried the toothbrush trick and it's working perfect again. It pumps water for 10 or 15 seconds now when before it took about 2 minutes to pump water into the internal tank. Last year I called keurig about it and they said to descale it. I told her I used distilled water and she said in that case no I didn't need to descale it. THANK YOU very much Journeyman!!!

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Your more than welcome, it is great knowing I could be of help. Thanks for the feedback, it's great to hear when someone has got a "Fix!".

[@joaquimpipa4842]

I own the single cup Keurig, the water tank being only 1 inch high, with some dark residue on the inside of the tank over the small wire mesh filter. It was pumping slow, leaving about 1/8 inch of water still in the tank, then nothing. Had to lift the handle again and drop it to complete the process, then the whole cup came out. I flushed the inside with hot water (no soap) and also used the brush by hand for a few minutes on the inside, a little on the bottom ejection. Poured another cup of water into the tank and watched it pump faster with a full cup. Many thanks sir for your help.

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Sounds like you have it fairly clean again, glad to hear it is working, thank you for the feedback! 😊

[@OldSchoolHacker]

Thanks for sharing this information. It fixed the issue with my Keurig and definitely saved me the time and frustration associated with tearing it down and possibly never getting it back together. I noticed a number of other commenters saying that they were close to throwing their coffee maker away and replacing it with another. Considering that Keurig is the market leader by a wide margin in the single pod coffee business, they are HOPING that we will chuck our failing makers and pop for another one made by Keurig. I've only used mine for six months and the fact that the valve was clogging up indicates to me that it is a design failure. Your discovery and generous attitude in sharing it here is greatly appreciated but if my Keurig quits working again and I can't easily remedy the issue, I'm quitting the pod life.

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

I hear you Steve, I fix things because over the years it adds up to countless dollars of budget savings for my hard-working family. I have old things that are still working because they are made out of more superior materials. I remember years ago the old percolator coffee pot and loved the smell of the coffee (and it really woke me up when I needed the caffeine), it might be time to go back to that. Thanks for the feedback, knowing I may have helped save someone else frustration made my day!

I had the same issues today with my Keurig. I was worried, that I had would have to replace this one, or would have to open up the machine. I did a KZbin search, and I found your video. I didn't have an electric toothbrush. I used an old regular toothbrush. I put a little dish soap on the toothbrush, and I scrubbed the area for a few minutes. I have ran my Keurig machine, a few times, and so far, it's working again like before. You are a genius! This really does work. Thanks for posting this video. 👍

[@former80sdiva]

Thank you so much, sir! I had my Keurig sitting by the door to go to the trash. I figured it was 12 years old, it was time for another one. I did go get an “emergency” cheap drip coffee maker from Walmart (this happened in the middle of the week when I didn’t have time to think about it, and I can’t go one day without coffee!) but YUCK!, I guess I am spoiled on Keurig coffee. I thought, what the heck, I’ll Google and see if this is a common problem and could it be fixed. Found your video, tried it, and Wala, it’s fixed! You saved me a lot of money and saved the landfill from one more Keurig sitting in it! Thank you!!

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Hello! I found the issue after my poor Wife spent what seemed to be an endless amount of time descaling our Keurig (she said about six descaling cycles) and still no results.

Right in the middle of descaling, filling the cups until the blue light comes on, and my Keurig quits pumping. I had cleaned the piercer with a paper clip to no avail, I took the top cover off and cleaned the check valve and it ran one cup and quit. Finally I found this posting and cleaned the outlet on the bottom of the reservoir. Afterward I was able to finish the descaling and flushed out the tank. The Keurig works great now, no excessive noise trying to pump water and it works much faster. Thanks Journeyman.

FOLKS, don't use soap to descale your machines! Always use vinegar and run it through multiple times. Just a few cups. After that, fill the entire vessel with only water and run that through the machine. Do this at least twice a year if you're a daily user of these machines.

I worked a toothbrush in and around the place you demonstrated, with just a little Dawn and some hot water. The screen there was FILTHY and the more I brushed it, the cleaner it got. Thank you so much!!!

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Elizabeth, I'm impressed to see a Keurig that has been around that long. Thanks for the update and feedback, with the holidays approaching we will probably need our Keurigs more than ever. I hope you get many more cups in the future! 😊

@@Journeyman-Fixit I kept thinking this was the end, started working on the eulogy for this very faithful servant, and had already begun scoping out prices online. Finding your video saved me well over $100! I'm still stunned. ❤️

[@abstract_jeff]

Can't wait to try this!! This is exactly the problem I was having with the same model! You, good sir, are a HERO! I love my Keurig, up til this point it had never failed me. Now I can get another few years out of it I bet. Thanks again!

[@lauriebashaw6862]

I was.making 3 cups of coffee and I'm glad for this video 😊 thanks

[@foreverfunny5457]

OMG!!! Thank you so much!!!!! I didn't realize that this was NOT the norm until I used my friends (exact same) machine and received a full cup of coffee! You tubed a search and viola! There you are! Again, thank you! You made my day!

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Thanks for the feedback Lori! Yes it is a good fix from the standpoint that we have received a lot more mileage from our Keurig also. KZbin is a great tool for all of us in our "fix-its" for our homes and property property - love it! Have a great day! 😊

[@NancyFlores-fi6yu]

Thank you, thank you! My husband has always taken our machine apart, but I thought I'd give your quick-fix a try. It worked!

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Great to hear Nancy, appreciate your feedback!

We have a Cuisinart SS-10 Premium Single Serve unit that has a filter in it. But I can see and have read that "that" particular water inlet valve has caused problems - even on my unit. We also use filtered water (used to store it in the refrigerator but not anymore) to keep the reservoir filled. When I change the water filter (it's a Pur water pitcher) I also clean the coffee maker. Thanks for sharing your info with all of us. It is videos like these that make life easier for all of us.

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

It's great to help others hopefully get a longer life out of their appliances. I hope you get a lot of use out of your Cuisinart. Thanks for your helpful addition of information Ray, it seems one can never learn enough when it comes to this kind of challenge! ☺

[@petermattys4991]

I really didn't think any fix this simple was the answer, a quick brush, and its pumping water like new! Thanks

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

You're welcome!

[@jcszot]

Wow! Thank you so much for this. My sister is coming to visit and the day before her arrival my maker was acting funny. I descaled it even though it had only been about five weeks, but I’m a coffee connoisseur and I use the machine quite a bit. After I descaled everything got out of sync after that. I watched another video on how to reset the computer and then I did what you said here and now my machine is working! Thank you thank you ! I’m one grateful coffee connoisseur👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻☕️☕️☕️

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Great to see that your are once again in operation. Your feedback is so appreciated! 😊

[@barbarasamples3453]

Thank you, thank you! I used dish soap and a regular toothbrush; scrubbed it good and it works great.

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Great Barbara, we tried descaling and it never worked! 😊

[@TheFirstManticore]

My Keurig has no way to access this spring and valve. So I decided to let the hot vinegar sit in the reservoir for a period of time. Then I turned on the unit and began to get some water flow. I did this a few times with half water, half vinegar, and it was flowing fine. So I ran a few cups of plain water through it. Worked for me. Thanks.

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Anyway I can be of help to you good people out there is great, glad to hear your Keurig is running again!

[@curtekstrom6600]

Threw my last Automatic coffee maker away 4 years ago. Now using an Electric Corning Perk from the 1970's. Still works like new.

[@RossDAwgOfficial]

worked in a second just like the title says, thank you, saved me some time

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Glad I could help

[@tommus]

Thanks for taking the time to show this fix! Similar to you, I was getting gradually smaller cups of coffee and then no pumping at all. Cleaned the valve with a sink brush and this amazingly simple fix worked perfectly for me. Now operating in top form. Tried a toilet brush first but it made the coffee taste funny.

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

LOL, Toilet brush??? All humor aside, thanks for your kind feedback. Coffee is one thing I simply cannot live without! Glad to hear you are back up and running! 😊

[@cynthiasmith6465]

Mine did the same exactly.

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

You are quite welcome, thanks for the feedback!

[@jsapcakrrow]

thank you, I have never thought about cleaning the bottom like that. So far I haven't had any problems but I think I am going to take it apart this weekend & clean it anyway.

[@SuperRaybuck]

Worked like a charm. Literally thought I was going to have to make a Walmart run this morning for a new Keurig. Thank you!

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

I'm so glad your Keurig is working again, appreciate the kind feedback!

[@IndigoChild007]

Man I was JUST about to buy a new one. You also gotta make sure that it's ALWAYS full of water. Thanks!

[@sharmaineburnside9154]

Thank you for your help. I tried descaling, didn’t work. I only use distilled water in it. Did what you suggested (minus the electric toothbrush) and yay!!!! Thank you for keeping me caffeinated without having to buy another machine. God bless you.

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Glad it helped Sharmaine - so appreciate the feedback!

[@sharmaineburnside9154]

@@Journeyman-Fixit you are most welcome. Myself, along with many others, truly appreciated it when we came across your video. Blessings.

[@vickiez3228]

Worked perfectly! There is also a screen on the inside of the reservoir. I simply used a small craft paint brush , moved it around over the screen & rinsed. Works perfectly now

[@tsot9837]

I also cleaned the screen inside the reservoir with a small bottle brush with a little bit of dish soap and rinsed.

I was about to purchase another coffee pot, specifically an old school one until I watched this video (As I happily write this review sipping my nice cup of coffee). Thank you! You fixed it!

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Great to hear Darryl, appreciate your feedback too! ☺

[@paulhughes3961]

We have the same coffee maker and I used purified water. It's 3 years old and over the last 2 weeks it sounds like it's trying to pull water from the reservoir with a low moan and then after about 30-45 seconds it will finally brew a cup. I had my suspension's and now I know what to do, thanks for the video!!

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Glad to hear it Paul, it always makes me feel good to hear of other's successes! 😊

[@gramps0208]

Great! Was just about to completely open mine and investigate the same problem, will try to go this route and see if it fixes it this way. Way to go and thank you!!!
