How to unclog a Mr. Coffee JWX31 coffee maker

[@peggywillingham7469]

Thank you!!! You saved me from having to buy a new coffee maker!!!! Your video made it so easy even though my coffee maker was different than yours I just followed your instructions and now I'm so proud of myself that I could fix something instead of throwing it away. God bless you 🤗

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

Good job! Thanks for watching and I really appreciate the comment.

[@BudNoodles]

I was so frustrated with Mr. Coffee and the three beeps, and this video saved the day! I am back to my non-grouchy caffeinated self. THANK YOU!!! :D

[@woodswalker88]

I must have had to replace my Mr Coffees 10x! Now I got my French Press & decided to ditch Coffee Makers altogether. But first i"m gonna take it apart & see if I can fix it. Why? to get experience Fixing Stuff. It's a great Life skill. Thanks for your video, it's the best on the subject.

[@bobczz3919]

Great video. Years ago I used to run a wire coat hanger through the heating element tube. What manufacturers do now is put a metal screen inside so you can't do that. I take a drill bit and drill out that screen careful not to drill through the side. Then you can run a hanger wire all the way through. The coffee manufacturers do this on purpose so you have to buy a new maker. Everything is a scam these days. Sometimes I get around it sometimes I don't :)

[@salauerman7082]

Bob Czz yep: land fills keep growing because of deceit that leads to unnecessary waste!

[@TheJmax59]

I knew that after 5 seconds you identified the problem with my snazzy red & black Mr. Coffee that my dearest son bought for his Mom as a Christmas present. So here's another project for me that goes on the list. I'll just use my percolator on the stove again. You're terrific and I've subscribed to your page. Thank you!!

[@CommodoreMuggleYC]

Fantastic! Inspired me. Gave me confidence to tackle on my own! Love the "security screw" issue and your total disdain for the manufactured obsolescence. Did almost same procedure on a similar Mr. Coffee model. Immediate results! Folks those little rubber feet will pop out and pop back in...don't be too gentle. Keep track of which hose you take off. My model has a red rubber tube with a back-flow valve in it, I believe. Don't mix it with the other. Otherwise, have at it. What is the worst that can happen? You trash it, concede and spend the bucks for a new model. So, not high risk. BUT high reward to fix it yourself. I feel like Magnum PI now. Thanks! Love the can-do, all-American, fix-it ethos.

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

You're welcome. And thanks for sharing the fun and funny commentary. I really enjoyed it!

This Keurig was a gift to a lady that has never in her life operated one

[@hastingb]

First of all thanks for posting this video. I had the same problem with my Mr Coffee. I tried running some CLR through it but it still was brewing really slow. So after watching your video I decided to crack it open and sure enough it was exactly the same inside as your coffee pot. I pulled the hoses and checked the heating element but everything looked spotless. The problem I had was with the ball valve inside the inlet tube. If you shake it, you should be able to here the little ball inside. I was able to extract it and give it a good cleaning and insert it back into the hose. Works great now!

[@Majestiicc12]

An old video I know, but the message is paramount, the last part about the Why. Seems as though people don't understand that part much these days, far easier to go to Walmart and get a 'cheap replacement'. Rather, in my opinion, they know full well why one should be repairing their own devices, it is just easier to go get a new one. They are comfortable. In any case, thank you, this is great, I appreciate it.

[@johnrobinson7036]

Many thanks. 45 minutes. Found a clog. Made a full pot that took 15 minutes to brew. Great job.

[@akflyer129]

wish I would have watched this yesterday, when I threw away my Mr Coffee and bought a new one. My old machine quit after 19 months. Back then it was 32 bucks, in Alaska, now in July of 2022 they cost 40 bucks and change. I'm gonna fix my old one now and take the new one back to Wal Mart> Thanks for the great video

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

Good luck getting it going again! You might want to try letting it soak in the vinegar solution for a day or two before taking it apart. Other viewers have had success trying that first.

[@mounasweiss8986]

I admire the idea that you fix something before you throw it. At least this is the way we where brought up at our house, my brothers were fixing stuff all the times and there was no need to call a handyman. I was having the same problem with my machine, did the vinegar solution and automatic cleaning. So far it works, but still makes that bubbly noise. I might fix it your way. Thank you for your help :)

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

Mouna Sweiss Thanks for the comment. I got the fix it habit from my dad. He would recover and re-purpose things that even I wouldn't bother with!

[@chizziron]

Had the same problem - took 45 minutes to make six cups of coffee! Did the vinegar but to no avail! I watched the video and it was exactly the same thing. I had to drill through the blockage (I made sure not to drill through the metal tube) and soak it with vinegar for a few minutes. Put it back together after washing out the vinegar and now it works! Thanks for the video - nicely done!

Thanks for the video. Mine is doing the same thing. I'm going to buy another as a backup, but def fixing my current one.

[@Hammerthumb1]

Thank you for posting that video. Coffee pot came apart just like in video, and I think my problem was coffee grounds in the check valve. Design flaw in pot allows coffee grounds to overflow back into water supply tank if basket or pot is misplaced(as happened to this pot). There is no filter to keep them out of water intake line. Red hoses are made of soft rubber and easy to remove. Check valve is inserted into cold water supply line, and can be removed by applying compressed air to heater end of hose. Cup your hand over end of hose so you don't loose valve when it shoots out. Toss out those "tamper proof" screws and replace them with phillips. Corporations have flooded our marketplace with shoddy imported crap, and have no regard for the American worker or consumer! Better to fix it than give them more of your hard earned money.

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

+Hammerthumb1 You're welcome and I thank you for posting the detailed and helpful comment. I replaced the coffee maker in this video when the heating element opened up (a fatal problem). I found an eighties, US made machine at a garage sale and have been using it ever since. If it ever fails I'll fix, it but I doubt if it will.

[@lorichandler266]

My coffee was not coming out at all so I tried the easiest thing first and banged the empty potless coffeemaker twice on the counter and now it works. Must have been the check valve. Thanks for the hint. I don’t have a hard water problem because I use filtered water so I thought the check valve was probably stuck.

[@killerhawks]

Years later still providing help.. thanks

[@giniberg4816]

I've saved some other coffee makers, but this video helped me actually get to my slow Mr. Coffee. Any particular amount of vinegar has a limited capacity to dissolve the calcium (usually) clogging the tubes. So renewing the vinegar every few hours makes sense. An easy way to put the vinegar into the tube is using a couple of feet of plastic tubing (available in a hardware store). Just suck up some vinegar and put it in the cold end of the heating tube (held to make a U), until it comes out the the hot end. I found drill bits to be useful in clearing a lot of the calcium from the hot end. Not in a drill...just in the fingers.There are probably better chemicals than vinegar, but we have vinegar at home, when the urge to take the coffee maker apart strikes.

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

Those are some good tips. Thanks for watching the video and commenting.

[@shesangs434]

Watching this video in 2022. Thanks for helping me!❤

[@salauerman7082]

One basic, learned from the days when you banged on the tube tv to fix the picture... I almost tried unscrewing and checking the tubes, but decided to turn the coffee maker upside down and smacked it - figuring the (bearing ball?) inside the valve might be stuck: that got the light to shut off and the coffee maker was quiet as it had been while percolating! I appreciate the mechanical explanation of the construction of the machine- thanks!

[@lorichandler266]

Thanks for your hint. It worked for me!

[@salauerman7082]

…and what’s funny is getting a reply the same day I had to use the technique again, after my white vinegar descale process failed to make the light go out on both my coffee makers (the other is a Keurig). On the other, I also unplugged for a moment, then it was happy again.

[@marciagalhardo7576]

[@delphi5966]

Thanks for this guide. I followed it and got my coffee maker going again and brewing faster than it had been in a long time.

[@maithevnesegirl6404]

Thanks for the info. I cleared the ball valve and it works now. Save me $50.

[@mostrogolf22]

All your comments are very valid. Thank you for doing what you do. Tinkerman with a moral conscience, outstanding. Now to fix mine.

[@6955beniegn]

thanks. Nice step by step in depth fix video. I fixed mine by not taking it apart at all..There's a hole at the bottom of the water intake reservoir where you pour the water in, I used some wire and stuck it in there, and cleaned out the gunk. The inlet hole was clogged with coffee gunk. Then it worked again fine. I then just ran water thru the coffee maker several times till the water ran clear. Good luck.

[@upload6426]

This method also works to get larger debris out of the intake tubing. Somehow I got a bit of paper towel into the reservoir, and it got sucked through the intake and was preventing most of the water from entering the heating element. It was sitting right in front of the little plastic one-way valve inside one of the rubber tubes. Works like a charm now once I got that cleaned out.

[@craigconway4093]

Thanks for this :) "Repair" is the fourth R... Reduce, reuse, recycle, and repair.

[@ymaylove]

Awesome video! I have been using Reverse Osmosis water for Mr. coffee for 23 years before it broken No calcium clogs precipitated in heating tube,that is amazing

[@alicebackhaut7859]

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!! Totally awesome, I'm so glad that I found your video!

[@222mtb]

Yes, this! Brewing starts at 4:49 am and finishes at 5:11 am. Tearing it down tonight, thanks for the inspiration.

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

You 're welcome. Good luck with it.

[@MrBrian7309]

Thank you for making this great how-to video Dave. I have the exact same coffee maker and it too is clogged. I'm glad you did not go off too much on the "why do I fix it" summary. It was starting to sound a bit strange.

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@mannshambles7006]

It is best if you NEVER use tap water to brew coffee. Yes, I go through the hassle and expense of buying purified water. Better tasting coffee, longer coffee maker life. Great video. I will definitely try this should the same problem arise for me.

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Well done you! I admire your attitude. Too many things are just thrown away for very little reason and that is an environmental crime in my view, even if some of the item is recyclable. If something is 'broken' I will almost always have a try. There is nothing to lose and it is interesting at least seeing how something works!

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment!

Thank you I am gonna try this.. I love your statement "Why do this?" for me after three of these with the same issues I decided to get some HELP from my Friends at KZbin THANK YOU, I hope it works for me too. :)

Thanks for the video and the time you took to make and upload it. My wife's coffee maker just started doing this and thanks to this video, I know what to do. Hopefully it all works out.

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

You're welcome. One thing I learned since making this video is that putting the machine in the cleaning cycle and then shutting it down and letting it sit for a few days can also work.

Also, for those who are on a budget and don't have the money to purchase a new coffee maker as well. Granted they are not expensive but the digital ones aren't cheap as well.

[@user-iy8vq7xr2n]

Where can you buy a replacement hose? Mine is stuck to the heating element intake and when I tried to remove it it started to rip. Kind of glued on from the heat. They don't make those hoses long enough to cut a piece off.

[@67donnalynn]

THANK YOU for this video! my coffee maker was acting just like yours, gurgling and beeping as soon as i turned it on with a full well of water... so i took it apart, and it was only the cold water tube... clogged with grinds. (my filter collapsed yesterday). I was certain i'd have to buy a whole new coffee maker! mine is only about 6 months old...i made the mistake at first and put the tube back on backwards but i fixed it and all is well now with Mr. Coffee!!! Thanks again for this video!

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

You're welcome. Sometimes you just have to have the courage to take it apart!

[@pedrorivera7597]

You can use a pressurized Air duster used to dust off computers to flash the heating element also.

[@paulhutson6451]

Great video. I found the tubes clear. I removed the cold water hose and squeezed out the check valve you mentioned. I found that there was a piece of coffee ground stuck in the seat for the ball that prevented the check ball from seating correctly and preventing back flow. Seems to be the fix.

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

outstanding. I forgot that it takes vinegar days to dissolve that crud. Just running it through eventually stops working. But yea, duh.

Did you run a carafe of white vinegar after you assembled it? Then three carafes of cold water to make sure it’s clean? I’m sure you did!

[@CG-db6ll]

Thank you for explaining in detail!

[@Belo83]

Hey man thanks for the video. I was a little bummed when my heating element looked good. I ended up taking apart the hot water “perk” end which is easy and that was all clear too. I did notice my check valve looked like it may have been a little gummed out. Took it out and rinsed it and she’s making coffee at normal speeds again, thank you!

[@maxp9793]

Glad you got it fixed. Have to wonder, if you would have just run some vinegar through it and let it sit for a couple of days without disassembling, it would have done the trick and saved the extra work.

[@willcharlie]

Great video. I have a Farberware 12 cup drip coffee maker that just beeps like the coffee is done almost immediately after power is turned on. No gurgling or anything, could it be the thermostat? I'd hate to just throw it out and buy another.

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

Unless yours is completely plugged up, you probably have a different problem. I'm not sure what device controls the "pot done" beeper. The thermostat could be involved. If it was mine, I would definitely tear it apart and have a look. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@willcharlie]

It was working fine a few days before. Also, the hot plate does not heat up either but display and everything lights up fine. Not sure what the issue may be. I'd feel comfortable ordering a thermal switch and replacing but not much else. Thanks for the input.

[@gobigpoker]

One of my tubes had some sort of valve in it with a ball. The ball must have been stuck. I loosened it up and it works now!

[@Beatriz-Q]

I have that exact coffee maker and now it completely stopped pumping after I put CLR diluted in water. Do you think this will help? Iv'e only had it 6 months and have used the auto clean once

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

If it isn't pushing through any water at all, I would wonder if the heating element is bad, or a thermal fuse blew or the check valve is plugged. The heating element in the one shown in this video eventually failed. It looks like you will need to pop it open and have a look...

[@Beatriz-Q]

Thank you!

[@LJSask]

You could have cleaned those valves out without taking apart- you just run 4 cups of straight vinegar and shut off machine after 3 cups of the vinegar gets flushed through- leave last cup inside machine and let set for a day or two - than rub last cup through - then run a full pot of clean water through machine to flush out particles - works like a charm

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

Great tips. Thanks for sharing!

[@waynewallace9055]

I didn't tear mine apart just pour 6 to 8 cups of distilled white vinegar and run clean, u can let set a day or two or heat the vinegar then place in coffee maker, works great

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

Good tip! I've been doing that same thing lately.

[@myverynow]

exceptional movie, thanks! added thumbs up and subscribed!

[@ssgiddyup]

Thanks for this video! I was looking for instructions on an ancient JR4 model but this looked pretty close. The water was pouring straight through so I opened it and sure enough, a hose was loose. But there was a mysterious spring I didn't know where to put back. Mine didn't have a valve but you made me go look at the hot hose and viola! It had a spring inside. It was also very clogged up so I did like you show and soaked the heating element in vinegar overnight. I also used a small screwdriver and paper clip to dig out more calcium. When I put it back together and tried it with vinegar, it made all the right noises and got hot where it should but nothing came out. I put in more vinegar but it seems to have quit brewing. You stated your heating element went out shortly after. Could there be something inside the heating tube that we messed up? I'm letting this one sit and cool down right now and will turn it back on later. Sheryl

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

ssgiddyup Sounds like you did some good work here. If it is heating up, then your heating element is good. I would suspect there is still something stuck in there keeping the heated water from moving along. I can't see how cleaning the line this way could open the heater, which is isolated from the water chamber by the chamber wall. Good luck and don't give up...yet!

[@ssgiddyup]

The Original Mechanic OK, maybe an overnight soak will do it then. I want to see if I can get the top off without breaking it so I can check the hose in there too.

[@ssgiddyup]

The Original Mechanic I forgot to tell you! I took it apart again and even got the top off. After cleaning everything, the culprit was still build up at the hot water exit. I used a small screwdriver and with your assurance, really dug hard in the metal tube. Quite a bit more sediment came out and it's been working great for a week now. Thanks again!

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

I am really confused by how you removed the security screws, could you please go into more detail?

[@aaahandy]

There is a little nipple looking thing in the middle of the head to prevent the torx tool from fitting in. Now you can find the proper tool to remove them. But he is using a small screw driver that will fit in between the above mention nipple and the side of the head of screw just well enough to remove. Once removed just replace with a screw with a regular head.

Let it soak for an hour or so (depending on the amount of buildup), and then take a long, narrow, brush to scrub the buildup out. It doesn't require much scrubbing at all. Clean the WD-40 with very warm water and run the brush (wrapped with a paper towel or cloth, through the tube to get any WD-40 that the hot water did not clean off completely. Run vinegar through the pot one time before making coffee again.
