KEURIG K-SUPREME How it Works. What It looks like on the inside. HOW TO TAKE A PART

I show you how to open a Keurig K Supreme and what it looks like on the inside. Where the water pump is and what the heating element looks like. How does the ADD Water light work. What parts are you descaling when you descale your coffee maker. I show you the control board. I show you the air pump and all the tubing and where it goes. I show you the over pressure relief valve. How the 5 Needles are connected and get hot water from one tube. How the handle microswitch works and how the water gets from the water tank to the coffee maker water pump. What part fails when the coffee maker overheats.

This is so much engineering work. These machines are much more complicated than I would of originally expected. The wide range of components, sensors ,and integrated systems is cool to learn.

[@aabsc]

Super automatic espresso machines make this look super simple lol. They have built in coffee bean grinders, an automatic coffee tamper and ejection mechanism and automatically grind the beans, put the ground beans in the filter, tamp them under high pressure, brew the espresso under very high water pressure (it has special high pressure tubing and connections) and eject the used coffee grounds into a waste coffee bin at the press of a button. The machine costs a lot more but you then get even better coffee for pennies per cup compared to k-cup/pod machines so they pay for themselves.

[@Barnabas45]

Which eventually and unfortunately makes it more prone to failure.

[@newjerseypete]

The flap stops the pressure to the needles if you should open the lid while brewing. This prevents the needles from spraying hot water and coffee on you when you open the lid.

[@JustADad]

Awesome!! thanks so much!!

[@darrendefrancesco8693]

I was guessing the flap allows any remaining water to drain out of the needle area when you open the lid, to prevent mold growth and clogging.

[@Thymediadude]

Our flap became removed during a cleaning. Afterwards, the machine produces only clear hot water, no coffee. Any suggestions on reinstalling the flap? We still have it, intact. Keurig support tried to sell me a new machine.

[@geomcc39]

It was perfect how you had an additional broken unit that you could rip individual parts from for demonstration. Great video

[@kevinbadeau2858]

That thermo-sensor is actually resettable. There is a small hole in the center of it and you can reset the switch with something like a paper clip. Had an issue with mine after a failed descaling process which seems to be a common issue with these units. The entire unit would not power up due to that thermo-switch being tripped off. Reset it with a paper clip in that hole and the unit came back to life.

I really appreciate everything that's packed inside one of these. Just got new K Supreme Smart and it's a little intimidating. So far I've done a Cleansing Brew and made one cup of Columbian Roast using an off-brand K-style cup. First time I closed the lid the machine didn't 'see' the cup. I raised the lid and re-seated it and suddenly we were cleared for 'ignition'. The coffee tastes better with the multi-stream tech that this K Supreme Smart employs.

Well-this helped to understand why our Keurig stunk so bad. Our K Supreme smelled and the coffee tasted like mildew. I descaled whenever it said to, and I constantly cleaned the inside of the reservoir. Ends up, the mold smell was in the rubber and spring on the underside of the reservoir where the it connects to the water flow. The area that connected the reservoir to the machine was always wet and it smelled, as well...the little tubes that go to the water level sensor could were part of the problem. The smell was embedded in the areas you couldn't access.

[@robertclarke9788]

Thanks! Your video really HELPED! Getting the case off WAS a struggle (as you promised!) Once inside, I found the thermostat cutoff/reset and reset it. It still had a problem with the unit shutting down. As an experiment, I disconnected the hose nearest the right cabinet side panel. The unit fired up fine over and over to do the descaling but the "Add Water" light did not come on. The water got TOO low, the safety thermostat shut OFF and there it was......dead again. Reconnecting the hose did NOT make things normal. Soooooo, to keep using my machine, it is CONSTANTLY in "Descale" mode after I press 8 and 12 oz buttons for 3 seconds. I make SURE that the water tank has lots of water. I fill my reuseable K-pod, put my mug, press K and get a 12 oz. cup of nice strong boiling hot coffee. Between uses I disconnect the AC to the unit to save power and also, so that it can't overheat. QUESTION: Is the hose I disconnected to do with the air pump and the "ADD WATER" function?

[@brianperkins6121]

The connector on the side of the water pump lets the computer verify the pump is rotating and not jammed, and the computer also likly uses it to measure the quanity of water delivered,.. I think it uses reads magnetic pulses from a revolving internal part with a hall effect sensor and the computer can read these pulses to determan the pump is running before it turns on the heater as a safety confirm so the heater is not switched on without water flow ..

[@Havencheer2014]

that rubber cover beneath the needles, is for pressure release in case you open the keurig while operating, so it doesnt squirt you in the face/body with steaming hot water.

[@SKRUBL0RD]

Very nice explanation, I repaired mine with the reset but also clogged tube, noit water got to the heater so would reset. The pump was not priming bcus water was below half. So tested pump and worked. Removed tubes blow in air. Closed tube filled to top, and runned. Decaled afterwards. Again very good instruction on the path of the water. Did you catch that stm32f ??

[@Lancair007]

I'm glad I came across your video on the Keurig K Supreme. After watching your video and putting my Supreme back together and having it work, I do have a couple comments. First of all, your explanation of how the plumbing of the Supreme works had some incorrect info and mistakes in your video. The first issue I noticed was you were holding the water level device upside down. That device has a thermocouple sensor in it along with the probes to indicate water level is low. The second issue that would have been very useful would be to remove the electrical panel covering all that plumbing that you were trying to explain to show the routing of all those hoses. Your explanation of the water flow would have been much easier and would be of great benefit to anyone who removes those hoses and forgets how they go back together. Fortunately for me, with your general explanation, I was able to replace all my hoses on my machine and the Keurig worked when I had it completely assembled. Thank you for you videos. Please produce a more detailed water flow explanation with showing all tubing connections.

[@nefariumxxx]

Black rubber flap under the lever/lid seems to be just a pressure release for when you abort a brew cycle before it is completed. So, the flap opens when you lift the lever to vent hot water in a safer way than through the needles (for less of a mess).

[@JustADad]

Very true

[@Marco-wd7rk]

Very cool. My water level sensor does not work. Not sure why since it’s a simple sensor that seems to use 2 wires to complete the circuit when under water. I wonder what it looks like inside the plastic case?

[@KasLewis]

On the side of the water pump is actually a IR sensor, I'm guessing its used to measure water flow. I had an issue with a keurig k latte single serve where the lights where all on and pressing the power button would cause the air pump to run. After trying everything, I injected water using a syringe through the water pump into the system and that caused the machine to reset and start working again. The board does say IR sensor where that pcb on the side of the water pump plugs in. It seams the system would only start the pump after seeing water run through it but it would only push water through it if the pump was working, hence the need for the syringe to jump start the whole thing.

[@JustADad]

Wow that is some good troubleshooting!! thanks for sharing, I learned something useful today!!!

[@rafepittenger7484]

The one I have is a K85 with the milk frothier attachment. It only uses one air pump and two outlet lines, one to the head needle and the other to the bottom of the k cup. Not sure what the bottom line does for the bottom of the k-cup? That bottom of the K cup has a needle as well to puncture the bottom. I think two hot water entry system, one from the top and the other to the bottom.

[@GadgetReviewVideos]

hmm, funny since that’s what also failed on the one I took apart last year. The problem is the water pump was fine and it seems most fail during descaling. Finding that exact temp and spec replacement part is almost impossible. So just match it as close as possible with a slightly higher temp one.

[@timhoerner4731]

Can you look at your functioning Supreme units and tell me if the small diameter tubing leading to the pressure sensor on the circuit board is full of water or full of air? I had other repairs to make on my unit and that tubing was removed and then reinstalled. I am wondering if it is supposed to be full of water to carry pressure to the sensor on the circuit board to tell it to keep the brew cycle going. My brew cycles are stopping after about 5 seconds. Thanks.

[@nickstanca9716]

What does the air pump actually do? increase flow pressure? clear lines after cycle? Is it controlled by micro to maintain a brew chamber pressure?

[@santosriverajr7738]

I had the issue where I was able to reset the heating element but it was not pumping water out. I tried different troubleshooting methods and finally narrowed it down to the pump, or the circuit board itself. Luckily I had a 12 volt battery. I connected some wires directly to the connector for the pump and the pump worked fine. I figured that this machine was toast and it was the circuit board that was bad. I put everything back together and decided to try and run it again. To my surprise, the machine started working. It’s almost like the pump was stuck and needed extra power in order for it to get going again.

If you are here for as dead Keurig, find the thermal breaker about the diameter of a dime with a hole in the center of it, two wires coming from it. It's likely stuck open, push a toothpick or something into the hole to reset. If you know how to use a multimeter check to make sure it's closed (or was open).

I bought the K supreme from BJ's club abought a year and a half ago and I bought another for a friend. Both were duds. I only use mine for iced tea and the water stream has always been very slow and less than what was selected. The descaler light comes on all the time. Descaling seems to have no effect. I can tell there is a blockage. I tried the paper clip on the needles, and they were not clogged. So, thanks to your video I took the cover off and started looking for the problem. Long story short, the clog is in the check valve which is built into the multi stream head which you cannot take apart to clean. I should be able to blow air though it and it was clogged up tight. I am soaking it in vinegar hoping it clears up. There was also a clear slime in the tube right at the check value. I think it's a poor design and they should have a recall on the unit.

Does the water actually come out of all 5 holes? 🤔 Or does it only come out of the classic center stream main one, and then spread across the top of a Kcup and possibly drip into the other 4 holes? I’m curious because the center spike is the only one that looks hollow, and like it can actually deliver water. The other 4 just look like solid hole punchers.

[@howawlyfalloookenhool7495]

Slight difference between this and the supreme plus on the mother board. instead of a pressure probe connector on the mother board, there is a more robust bus box labelled "FPN-07PG" made in Japan. The issue I keep running into is the thermal sensor keeps needing to be depressed, and I'm wondering if it's connection to the heating coil has become degraded over time. The symptom each time during brew is the shutoff after the third dot on the HUD. I have probably reset that thermal sensor about five separate times now. I get it to work for about a month and then it seizes again. Real pain.

[@JustADad]

wow thanks for some really detailed information. have you been keeping up on the descaling?

[@howawlyfalloookenhool7495]

@@JustADad yes and no. Unfortunately, the actual descale mode overheats the thermal sensor. I ran full descale mode and within two brews the following day, the auto-shutoff triggered on the third dot of the brew cycle. Ultimately, you end up with the descale HUD message never going away, but it's fine. I just manually descale every few months. I keep temp and strength settings minimal and will run about two 12oz "brews" of 1:1 water-white vinegar solution. After, I just unplug and leave alone, run clean water the next day to flush the vinegar and rinse. This pretty much prevents overheat.

[@tartarsauce2601]

Can you replace the thermostat? The way you described it makes it sound like it's supposed to act like a fuse.

I looked online and could not find a replacement Thermostat. The wires are soldered on it. Which you could unsolder and solder them on the new one. When this Open up from High temp it does not close. I think its a one time use. it right on the heating element so if it get too hot the Thermostat open up. You could replace it if you can find one.

My Keurig IA pumping too much water(ie.. 12 ounce overfill my 12 ounce cup, 10 ounce fills my 12 ounce cup). Have found WHAT controls the amount of water dispensed? cool video, thx

no sorry

Our flap became removed during a cleaning. Afterwards, the machine produces only clear hot water, no coffee. Any suggestions on reinstalling the flap? We still have it, intact. Keurig support tried to sell me a new machine.

The flap is a safety(?) to prevent hot water from shooting all over if, for some reason, the lid isn't fully closed.
