Any of y'all had this problem? I love this machine, and my wife and I both had the same problem. We each hadn't used ours in a while and when we plugged them back in, neither of them will dispense coffee. The power is on and seems to be fine electrically, just everything but the actual coffee coming out. Anyone had a similar issue and what did you do to fix it?

I had this problem and called the Keurig support number. They helped me fix it. Your tool bag for this project is a paper clip.

First, take out the plastic holder that holds the K-cups. You should be able to turn it a little and it just lifts out.

Once out, take that piece apart. It easily snaps together and apart.

Once it's in two pieces, you see the bottom of the small metal tube that pokes the hole into the bottom of the K-cup. Take the paper clip and insert it into the tube and see if you can dislodge any tiny bits of coffe, tea, or whatever you've been drinking. You can run water over the tube while you do this.

Second, lift up the handle in front all the way up. If you look under the top, you see the second set of tubes that inject the water into the K-cup. There should be three of the tubes. Use the paper clip and clean them out as well.

Put it all back together and get a glass measuring cup. Run three batches of water through the machine without using a K-cup. Each time, note the amount of debris in the water, and note how much water is being put into the cup. You want the water to be almost clear and the amount to be consistent.

If this doesn't work, keep calling Keurig support. You have a 1 year warranty and if it won't work, they will eventually agree and send you a new machine. (Assuming you have your dated receipt.) My brother got them to send him a new machine because his stopped brewing too. They didn't want it back so he decided to take it apart to see what the problem was. He said he had a split water line, so in that case, no amount of pipe cleaning was going to help.

Put some vinegar in the reservoir
Let it soak
Brew some vinegar through the system
Rinse out the reservoir
Rinse the system several times by brewing with the kcup holder empty until the vinegar smell is gone

Brew a cup with a kcup in place


The small pump intake gets scaled up with calcium carbonate scale and the vinegar will dissolve it.

He'll yes it's working now....I've just been attempting to run hot water for the last 20 minutes and I guess it eventually ate through the caked on shite. Now I'm just running hot water repeatedly to clean it out

When you have CACO3 scale in the water system and it dries out the scale crystallizes and blocks the pump

I do this about once a quarter and it fixes the problem every time. The paper clip cleaning the small spear only fixes the problem part of the time. Rinsing the unit with vinegar fixes mine every time

Yeah I haven't used mine in nearly a year. The first few batches of water that came out we're brownish color. I've run about 8 now and it's clearing up
