[@TippyPuddles]

OK, I'm pretty adventurous but after watching this, I've decided to buy a new one.

[@baklash6079]

You can’t imagine how much I enjoyed watching this, because I disassembled my K10 just about an hour ago in an attempt to better clean out heavy mineral deposits. My wife had run vinegar through it at least 20 times and the stuff just kept coming. So I figured “Why not?” Once getting to all the tubing, valves, and connections I finally decided I would never be able to clean it enough to drink any coffee from it. Then I thought maybe someone on KZbin could do it. Found your video and had a good laugh watching it. I’m not even gonna try to put mine back together. Tomorrow I would buy a new Keurig, but the K10 is no longer available and I don’t see any I like. Oh well.....

[@angelatomberlin5011]

Thank you! This helped me determine I need to replace mine rather than try to fix it. I'll never reach the pump or bottom of the hose!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Awesome. Great to hear the video helped you out! Thanks for checking it out!

[@vwill1973]

Yeah I just took the top off my to try to unclog the hose but my clog is further down and won't be able to take of the white plastic part without taking it completely apart. Mine was a gift so I'm really sad I have to buy a replacement lol

[@kristinestatler1940]

I have one of these, we'll two actually. One doesn't work at all and the other one had a broken piece. Thanks to your video I was able to take them both apart and swap the appropriate pieces without applying too much force on vulnerable areas. It works great now. Thanks for posting this.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

That is fantastic to hear! Lots of people dislike this video because I was not careful enough taking it apart and then don't put it back together. Knowing that it helped you makes it worth making the video! Thank you!

that’s my plan! lol

I remember taking apart the old televisions and checking all the tubes, same thing and then pitching it loved it. Thank you.

Went from like disassemble to how to remove anything with a Flat-Head Screwdriver.

[@EverythingIsAJunkDrawer]

Mid destruction: "I don't know how people fix these things, but I guess they do."

[@jimpeel]

You do not need a screwdriver to remove the K-cup holder 1:41. Press on the outlet from under the cup holder and it will pop right out. The manufacturer's instructions which come with the unit states this. The grease 3:17 and 4:10 is heat sink grease and you should NOT wipe it off unless you have heat sink grease to replace it.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thank you for the tips. I hope they help someone!

Thank you! It worked i fixed it. Old but still now working again!!!

[@rebeccacaraska4112]

Boyfriend brought me one of these yesterday. No idea if it works or not. Don't drink coffee. But I do love to relax with a difficult disassembly. I raced you. We tied. It was pretty much an exact replay!!!

[@treetophighberockin4904]

Mr.The Fixer I'm in a battle as we speak with a model K 200.Its similar to the one you fought.Did everything like you have but stoped short of breaking it.I'm going back in now and look for the two screws that where screwing you at the top. Thank you for the fine video.I have high hopes of being on the inside in the next 10 minutes.I will keep you informed.Thanks again.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

TreeTopHighBeRockin thank you for the kind words! It is not the most easy process, I hoped it worked out for you!

[@edc.8002]

Thanks for the sacrifice! I looked this up because mine stopped pumping water. I figured it was a stuck valve somewhere under the tank because there was nothing coming out the top. I started to take it apart, and then found this video. I learned that this things are not meant to come apart easily. I didn’t want to damage it, so I decided to pull a vacuum usin a large syringe on the hose from the top. I heard a pop them water started coming up. Works now.

[@johncollinspianomusic]

Unfortunately this did not help me in my own current ongoing surgery of a keurig machine, but I immensely enjoyed watching it nonetheless. lol. I am trying to find the piezo (or is it a different type of buzzer? maybe? idk) element so I can smash the d--- thing while preserving the closed circuit of course, thus forever silencing its egregious protests (beeps). Where's the sound element??? dang this is taking me like all day haha

[@gotch2676]

I have the same model and it doesn't shut off at the end of the cycle. I'm guessing it's a float switch issue. Unlike the detractors, I think this is a good video that shows how to take it apart, just like the title says. Also, if you watch in 2x speed it's quite entertaining, plus saves some time.

[@ScottyMcKJ]

My fiance and I want to thank you for a very entertaining video! Perhaps you should re title it how NOT to disassemble your Keurig, lol. One of the most entertaining aspects of your video was that your voice sounds very similar to mine, and some of the things you were saying were exactly what I say when I take things apart.

[@ExTrA_MeE]

Спасибо за видео! Помогло понять как разобрать кофемашину

I found a sledge hammer much, much faster than this frustrating method but thanks anyway.

Hey, that works haha 😂

[@JohnSmith-ks8rb]

Needed this for a disassembly. Thanks

[@Goofyblueguchi]

Hey, thanks for this. I was doing the same thing (autopsy) and got stuck on the bottom panel the same as you did, so I came hunting for a clue. Commenters are way too harsh; it’s pretty obvious you weren’t going to put it back together. “Oh look at that!” “What happens then?” “Ehh I’m just gonna break these...” were not even my first clues. Anyway, I was very entertained! Good commentary.

[@DigitDesign]

I have no problem jumping in to electronics repair.. But I did this just for cleaning. after having a long talk with myself, I decided that there was no way I was going to put it back together. It went in to the trash

[@a1mahoney]

You are my hero! I've been stuck inside for months now, you are the most entertainment I had. It's like watching a video of me. I use the same logic and language (ok maybe a little saltier) . Thank you for taking the time.

[@heinzikguther462]

Thank you for this video sir. I needed to clean the inside of the seal on the water tank. I took those first 2 panels off the bottom and realized I might be doing this wrong. Your video helped me get the top open to deep clean this thing.

[@brittneeedagenaaa]

Should make a video how to put it back together !

[@danalvincent]

Thank you for posting this video, much appreciated. Although you did not perform a systematic disassembly, at least the detailed views of the product internals were useful in showing where the parts and wiring were in reference to one another. Granted, it is not a simple process, but it can be done without parts damage if one takes their time. I took mine completely apart to check the water heater coil function, as the unit was not providing hot enough coffee. For those brave enough to take on this task, the outer casing comes off easily by removing the visible screws and just sliding it downward and out.

[@greatestunknown]

I don't think so. How about posting a video on your "outer casing comes off easily". Let's see that.

[@CC-vm2oe]

Thanks for this video! Gotta admit that some parts were hilarious but also extremely informative. Showed me how to remove the top piece to reveal the hose feeding the dispensing needle. I had already removed the two screws but was hesitant applying force to snap the top piece free. After that I was able to push through a flexible wire/pipe cleaner to free up the clog. As good as new!

[@leeH3Love]

Lol ... I was looking for a quick repair and found your video Fortunately for me it was an easy fix but I definitely enjoyed watching your video while I was drinking a cup of fresh brewed coffee..... Thank you

[@mitekesa]

Not sure where it said “fix”. To me, the title is classified correctly. And, reading most of the responses, helped. Unfortunately, my K10 went down only recently, hence the late response to the video. Thank you, you saved me $100. Just need you show us how to take apart KZbin. To stop the irrelevant comments folks leave. Relevant, but negative got it. Irrelevant and negative, means you didn’t read the title.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thanks so much for this comment!

[@mechanickrick1891]

Thank You! Very Cool you could do that. Gave me cringes a few times. I hope to find the clog in mine and put it back together.

[@krystalmoore9615]

Now let's see you put it back together!

[@rodrick-hales]

Thank you

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thanks for watching!!

[@emaglott]

they are obviously designed to be put together easily. Taking apart is another story entirely. I will use this to get into mine that is not working at all.

[@greatestunknown]

I love this! This is typical of Keurig, all the way back to their first debut machine. They have always been impossible. I'm glad you posted this. It actually was very helpful. Mine seems to have a pump stuck. The needle isn't clogged. But now I know not to take it apart. This is one of the most entertaining videos I've ever seen, being that I repair stuff all the time. I'm actually going to try cutting a hole in the cabinet of mine with a Dremel. At least your video showed me where all the stuff is inside. Maybe I'll post mine, whether it's do or die.

[@Rosk03]

How did that go for you ? My pump isnt working but not sucking up water... Did you mange to dremel thru it?

[@williammastrangeli9915]

Moved into a new apartment with a bug problem and woke up to a nasty surprise in my cup of coffee. Unfortunately I don't think I'd be able to get it open enough to actually be confident in it being clean enough to move forward here. Guess I'll finally need to pony up and get a new coffee maker.

[@matthewsonzogni5846]

Dont wipe the grease off. That looks like a transister attached to a heat sink. The grease allows it to transfer the heat to the sink and be disapated.

Good Heavens! First of all, thank you for the video and I'm glad it helped others. I'm 81 and all I want to do is clean my K-10! I don't own a power screwdriver and don't have strength in my hands. How on earth can I just clean the thing? Thank you very much! 🤗💓

[@lickdacat2]

I HAVE A GREAT IDEA... TAKE A SLEDGE HAMMER TO THE KEURIG AND GO BUY A BUNN COFFEE MAKER.

[@warrenbrook7101]

My thoughts are you were paid by Keurig to produce this video. NO ONE in their right mind would attempt to fix one after watching your video. On the other hand, I printed out a tutorial from IFixit and am awaiting a new pump. The rest of the unit is sitting there with just two wires sticking out to solder on the new pump. $15 for a pump, $200 for a new coffee maker. Had to try.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

There is no way Keurig would pay me for this video haha. I did not fix anything. As the title says, I just disassembled it. This was many years ago when I was trying out new video ideas. I enjoy taking stuff apart and thought it might help someone to see how it is built. 😃😃

[@Momof2kats]

Just so you know, that K-cup holder thing pops right out if you push it up gently from the bottom, where the coffee comes out from. No need to squeeze & pull or use a screw driver.

[@77missconduct]

Oh wow...gotta love reverse engineering! I have a K10 and that baby is pretty strong....never given me a minute of trouble. I know some people have had a little trouble with that model and don't like it as much as I do.

[@Thomas-px6ni]

[@garykobayashi1255]

Bravo! It was like rooting for a sports team. Great persistence, patience and mechanical instincts you showed. Glad you would do this for fun, so now I don't have to endure the frustration I would have encountered trying to figure out how the inside of the coffee maker was structured. There is a buildup of black mold I assume in mine, and now I know there is no way I want to take it apart to try to clean it. I will have to fix the problem by running vinegar and maybe other cleaning or sterilizing chemicals through it from the outside. Thank you so much.

[@coondogtheman]

I have one of these, just like yours but in red. It leaks from the spout while brewing not sure why. That small motor with the hose on it is a mini air compressor.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Not sure what that could be... I made this video in hopes that people could use it to get a good idea of how these are built so they can fix them. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@coondogtheman]

@@TheFixerHomeRepair it's probably due to hard water. Will run vinegar through it.

[@bettybender8773]

There was a recall on the k10 for leaking at top during brewing.

[@coondogtheman]

@@bettybender8773 I'm going to see if I still have it and then I'll take it apart and see why it leaks when brewing.

[@JHsillypantsMcGee]

So basically if normal troubleshooting doesn't fix your keurig, just get a new one!

[@PlayfulGeek]

Thanks so much, dude. I was considering buying a replacement brewer of a non-desired color (as the only yellow was > $500!) and swapping out the casing. You're clearly experienced at how much to bend plastic. After watching your video, I will NOT try to replace a casing--hard enough to get it apart, and it's too much to try to get one back together.

Why does it take so long to break stuff? With practice you should be able to break every part in that impressive brewer in under 15 minutes. Just messing with you! I like to autopsy small appliances and automobile components myself.

I have the same model.. That sh* is built like a tank! I'll just buy new one.. Ain't worth all that to fix a leak! 🤣

[@jeremymason7920]

This guy clearly doesn't know what he is doing. It's one thing to take apart for curiosity, but anybody can use a power tool to take apart an object! A true craftsman uses fines and hand tools to disassemble in order to reassemble said device... This mad man is using a power tool on the highest setting to obliterate the threads and caveman-like qualities to bludgeon it to death. RIP coffee maker...

[@lickdacat2]

Mr Fixer.... Are you a smart feller or a fart smeller.... my guess would be the latter.....

[@william6526]

I thought you knew what you were doing but it was obvious you didn't have a clue about how to take this apart. But you did have tearing it apart down pat. Anyone can force or break something apart but knowing how to disassemble something without damaging it so you can fix what's wrong and then reassemble it takes someone who knows what they are doing and not some idiot that prys with a screw driver until it gives or breaks. This was a totally worthless waste of time.
