Literally had a replacement Keurig in my Amazon cart before I decided to at least attempt to fix it. Tried a few different videos / howto's before coming across this one. THANK YOU MR FRED! I still don't know what that "massage" technique actually did, but damn if it's not running like new again. This is the reason UA-cam exists.
Most water has lime scale in it, (hard water), it builds up on parts and sometimes causes restrictions, or in this case kind of glues the valve shut. "The Massage" broke up this brittle lime scale and allowed the check valve to open like it is supposed to. I suggest using a descaler like Keurig's or others, it really does help, and other places in the Keurig are susceptible to build up that are a lot harder to get to or clean, so it makes sense to spend a little time and coin to help prevent it in the future.
This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.
You’re a GENIUS!! I was ready to order a new Keurig and found your video. You can’t open the housing anymore (2020) without taking off the handle, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE TO!! I just reached my finger into the tiny opening, gave the valve a little nudge, and voila, it worked. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I am really glad my video has been helpful to so many people. You can tell by the professional video quality and narration that I spent hundreds of hours and thousands on video equipment producing the video :)
This was the one my wife had a k140 at work that stopped Brewing one day and she told her boss that I could fix it she said no I'm going to buy a new one so my wife brought it home I watched a bunch of UA-cam videos none of them seem to work until I watch yours and now I have a new Keurig thank you Mr Fred
Just spent basically an hour looking at other UA-cam videos and failing to fix mine. I figured since the water wasn't even getting close to this valve it wouldn't be the issue. Thank you so much for sharing.
Your video post just saved me a $80 fix it bill or a replacement cost of $175 on a new one. The screws were a severe pain in the ass! It took me about 1-2 minutes to get the valve flowing again but it took me almost an hour and 15 minutes to put thing back together. In the meantime I cracked the water reservoir, so that needs replacement now. Thx a million for the fix it vid!
It worked. Five minutes. Equally important, the steps and the video were perfectly communicated. Lots of videos will have an answer, but the devil is always in the details. Thanks
You just saved me over $100.00! The hardest part was getting the two screws back in, and if I had bigger hands it would have been next to impossible! I scrunched up a small piece of paper towels on both sides of the screws to keep them from falling back in the unit, as it took me several attempts. I have had this one at least 4 years and its going strong again. I actually had 2 issues. 1) The Valve was stuck with calcium deposits as yours was. 2) Coffee grounds were impacted inside the top portion of the needles and plastic tube and I could not have accessed that part without disassembling the top as per your instructions. Even though it is working perfect now, I am letting the Vinegar stay in the valve section (through the descaling method) all day, to help dissolve the dislodged mineral deposits. Thank you again, great video!
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!! LOL Can't live without my coffee... and couldn't get a new maker, tonight. You're DIY saved my Keurig, my pocketbook and.. my sanity 😉 THANK YOU!!! 🥰
I followed these instructions and could see my problem... not the check valve but the part of the tube that goes down to nozzle. I squished it while holding the backwash opening shut and running a cycle. A couple times got all the crud out. Thank you! I think a million of these have been trashed for such an easy repair.
Thank you so much, I can't believe this worked so easily! I think you can see from all the comments that you have saved literally hundreds of people (including me) over a hundred bucks. Nothing like the massive appreciation from complete strangers to hopefully bring some happiness to your day!
I am SOOO glad I found this! I had to syphon the first tube closest to the needle and got a mouthful of grounds but it cleared the trouble. Happened to break down while I was visiting my mom and figured I would give it a go... So glad I gave it a try! Saved my mom 100 bucks for a new one!! Thanks Fred!
I so wish it was working on mine I have tried all the troubleshooting I found online prior to this one I called the customer service and special teams customer service but no one could assist with my Keurig that was doing the same thing, pumping a little bit of water and then forcing it back through the back flow. My requests almost constant descaling but I have not found any areas or scale buildup IS prohibiting water movement. 😭
5 years and this is the fix, my Keurig is also 5 years old, looks just like this one. Thank you, watched 6 fix videos and tried them all before I found this and it worked great
THANK YOU!!!! Mr. Fred! I was going to toss our hardly-used Keurig in the dump, but I thought I'd at least look around the internet to see if someone had our problem. First, I talked to Keurig support for about 40 minutes with no results, then I found your UA-cam video with our exact problem. You were very easy to understand and your video was easy to follow. The most problem that I had was trying to get those darn screws back in the correct way. Thanks, again, for saving our Keurig!
This video honestly helped sooo much I didn't want my Keurig to stop working and having to throw it away-- I tried it the first time and worked thanks so much!!
I am another satisfied customer! Thanks so much for this tip! I thought my 4 year old Keurig had bit the dust, time to buy a new one. Tried this and it did the trick! Saved me over $100 (at least for now).
After trying several different UA-cam fixes and having my Keurig be still out of order my hopes for this working were very low. But amazingly this super easy fix solved my problem! The hardest part was getting the screws back in.
Like others, I was about to ditch the Keurig except I was not going to buy a new one. I was going to go back to a regular coffee machine. Your video worked for me. Stuck check valve. Thanks!
Simply fantastic! Thanks for sharing this. Nailed my issue and got us back up and running. We were already shopping for a new one so you just saved me the cost.
Thanks! This video really saved us. We bought a used Keurig and we were told it worked fine. We went through so many videos troubleshooting. It did end up being the check valve.
Bonanza! I tried a bunch of other fixes I found, nothing worked, including a lengthy call with Keurig customer support. This unit had only been used maybe 6 times, very sporadically. Keurig's solution after a couple of obvious suggestions was to offer me 20% off on a replacement unit! We were about to give up when I found Fred's fix. No other fix I watched made any mention of the check valve. I followed his instructions (putting the screws back in is tricky, FYI), bingo, works perfectly. Thanks Fred!
I actually went and bought a new one because mines wouldn't pump water and I tried all the other videos. But YOU my friend, have the only.. to the point video that actually worked. Now I have 2 of them. So now my daughter has her own Keurig to make her coco with. Thanks a ton!
I am so glad the video has been able to help so many people. I am truly amazed by all the positive comments. As you can probable tell by the video quality it was just a quick one and done.
I lucked out on a deal and bought a $9 Keurig at a close-out store, where what you get is what you get. It was clean and like new in the box, complete with a cord that was still tied up and all the packaging, but no manual. It lit up, but it didn't pump any water. I thought, ah well, you win some, you lose some. But then I found this video. Problem solved in no time! Thanks for making my bargain a true bargain, instead of a waste.
Thank you so much for this video Fred!!! It works like a charm now!!! And it was so easy to fix....bought this one brand new at Goodwill for $3, obviously donated because they couldn't get it to work...now I have a new Keurig for our Air BNB...
You’re a life saver. I hadn’t used my keurig in 2 years and it would say that it was heating the water and wouldn’t pump out any water. I took that top off and couldn’t get the hose out but I squeezed the valve a couple times and instantly worked. Thank you so much!
You're a god send!! My keurig has been out for over a year and a half, I almost gave up all hope when I decided to give it another go and I finally came across this video. Thank you!!!
I just did this and it worked- WOO HOO!! I had to take out the tube that contains the valve, a bit more so that I could "squish" it better, then when I put it back together it worked! Thank you!
Thank you so much.I watched 2 other videos before yours and your video solved my problem. We had to squeeze and run it about 5 times for it to work on it’s own. Glad we didn’t give up. I appreciate your taking the time to post this. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! My dad and I looked all over the internet for how to fix our Keurig and nothing worked until we saw your video! This completely saved us!
I am so glad it work for you as well as it did for me. So many videos all say the same thing. I never thought it would get as many views as it has. I am totally new to UA-cam so really have no idea how to get the video so show up more often:)
I never leave comments or even likes on many videos but omg had this Keurig for about a year and didn't know hat was wrong with it now it's working just fine!
My wife just bought me the Kuerig K Elite last night to replace my classic. I have had that bad boy for 7 year's and it just started making all sorts of loud noises figured pump was bad. Im gonna open her up in a bit and it makes sense for it to be the valve. Maybe I'll get another 7 out of her. Perhaps my parents since we've already got the Elite coming but no sense in tossing a good machine!! Here's to another 7 year's. Thanks for the vid!
Awesome. .I took the unit apart the day before, thinking it was the pump..I was about to buy another before I looked up your video..I followed your steps and it worked and even better than it had been..thanks for revealing one of the universe secrets.!!!! PS..Took only 5 minutes to repair!
Almost bought a coffee ninja but thought I'd try YT first, this was going to be the last video I was going to watch before heading to best buy for the ninja. THANK YOU WHAT a great fix
My Keurig stops working nearly every time I descale it. I tried all my regular methods to get it to start brewing again and none worked. I found your video and it works again :). I swear that just taking the cover off told my machine that I meant business! The hardest part was putting the cover back properly so it closes and getting those tiny screws in place. Thanks!
Your the best after trying everything else I found in troubleshooting kuerig online and nothing worked! I found your video and fixed it myself! So happy! 😁😋😍🤗🍵
Thank you so much! I was shopping online for a new keurig for my husband since ours died this morning...turns out it wasn’t dead after all!! Appreciate you making this video and saving me over $100 for a new one!
Well GOSH DANG if this just fixed the problem. YAHOOO!!!! Sad thing is I threw one away that I had for 9 years 🥺 before picking one up from a garage sale for $5 which was an upgrade from the one I had for $5. It too wasn't spouting anything out and like David (in the comment section) I literally had Amazon Shopping open ready to buy a new one. THANK YOU SIR!! 💛💛💛 Grateful for my hubby who lead me to your video.
awesome! this fixed mine too. i started taking mine apart from the bottom before I googled and found your video. appreciate you making this my friend! THANK YOU!!!!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I was beginning to think I had what the old Murphy's Law meant when it said, "The repairman will never have seen a model quite like yours.", but then I found your video with the same K40 model and now after a couple of squeezes of the check valve our $4 garage sale Keurig is making coffee. The wife is so pleased. Great video!
Fred, you are my HERO!!! I was going to have to waste time and money driving into town for a new brewer. Your video was clear and easy to follow. My husband thinks I'm a genius! I said, "Well yes, I am a genius but that's beside the point haha! The real genius here is Mr. Fred Flint!" Thank you from the bottom of my coffee cup!
I am so glad that it worked for you and it was easy to follow. I made the video on a whim after figuring out how to fix my Mother in Law's and not finding any other videos like my solution. It was my first real how to video.
Thank you for posting!!! It worked and I did it all myself. I'm in a wheelchair and always have to ask for help but your video saved me from having to ask or buy a new one!!!
Wow! Thank you! Even though I was not able to remove the plastic cover, I put an end of a spoon on either side and pushed together. It worked!! Thank you.
I watched several others fix their keurig and I tried what they did and it still didn't work, but after watching you and I tried again now mine s working thank you so much!!!
WOW. Today my 2004 Keurig B31machine decided not to discharge coffee. Found this video. Though different model than in this video, principal is the same. B31 has accessible short distance tube, no easy access to the check valve. I squeezed this tube until it started to discharge water. Had to repeat filling the water and discharge few times before full discharge was established. Thank you for your tip!
I am still amazed at how many people this video has helped and the comments that have been left. over 450K actual views and 79% of people come form external sites so someone is linking to my video vs browsing or searching youtube I assume. I am not an expert at posting videos as you may have guessed and do not make any revenue from the video. thanks again for posting a comment.
Had some trouble getting the lid off.but unscrewed the handle and set it down and it slipped right out! Thank you so much, this totally worked and was super easy!
THANK YOU!!!!!! Unfortunately I bought a new one yesterday...but I wanted a 2.0 anyways and this was an excuse to buy one! BUT I have been tirelessly working on this one with all of the other tips I used in the past and nothing. Now that this one is alive again, I can use it at work or donate it! You rock!
Fred, thank you, thank you, thank you. All the other you tube videos telling how to fix my Keurig didn't work, but your's did! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you thank you thank you! spent way too long on the keurig website to find an answer. Of course I had no luck until I found this video. Thank you again for the tip!
I did show you just how to do it. Once I figured it out I redid everything other than clogging it back up. Literally all you have to do is massage the silicone check valve.
Thanks so much for this video! I have an older Keurig (model K70) and once I took out the two screws, I realized the top of the housing did not come off because of the way the lever overlaps it, and the lever is riveted on so it couldn't be removed. Anyhow, when I pulled the housing away as far as I could, I was able to squeeze the check valve using my pinky fingers inserted through the openings where the lever slides along the sides. I also used the handle of a toothbrush to press down on the top of the check valve. It took a few tries because it wasn't easy to get in there but it finally fixed the problem!
Thank you so much! My mom was freaking out about her coffee maker not working so I had to fix it. I massaged it the first time and it didn’t work but I tried again for longer and it worked wonders!! This was super helpful
Worked like a charm!! Thank you so much🙌🏽 Hardest part was getting those tiny screws back in. I ended up using a pair of tweezers to position the screw so I could use screwdriver to put them back in place. Thanks again!
I've spent all night trying to fix this Keurig, until I found your video. This was the fix thank you so much! Now time to enjoy my coffee, even though it's now 11pm. Lol
Fred You are awesome. I had tried the paper clip in the spout, the turkey baster at the reservour and nothing worked. THIS worked flawlessly and in under 10 seconds after I got the cover open i had restored water flow to the nozzle. I also suggest after this is done, run a descaler through it (keurig and others sell it) to break down the stuff you may have still hiding in that valve. So happy I found your posting. ya Get a thumbs up and a subscribe from me! Wife thinks i am a genius! Thanks Again. Matt
You're awesome Fred! Thanks so much guy; I watched a few videos that didn't help but after watching your video got mine to work immediately! Thanks again Fred👌👍😃
hey thanks much for this fix my Keurig is brand new. It's been used maybe 10 times this fix was easy. i did exactly as you showed and it did the trick i haven't screwed the top back on yet. i think i'll do a few more brews to make sure all is good
Thank you!! Thank you!! An ex-employee left this behind. I couldn’t get it to work. It’s probably why he left it behind. I found this video and got it work! Free!!
Literally had a replacement Keurig in my Amazon cart before I decided to at least attempt to fix it. Tried a few different videos / howto's before coming across this one. THANK YOU MR FRED! I still don't know what that "massage" technique actually did, but damn if it's not running like new again. This is the reason UA-cam exists.
David Davidson Parroting this exact message!!!! That you so much for this tutorial!
I am so glad it worked for you, the check valve gets stuck and the massage just loosens it so it can open.
Most water has lime scale in it, (hard water), it builds up on parts and sometimes causes restrictions, or in this case kind of glues the valve shut.

Idk how this "massage" technique works, but my Keurig is back up and running!

Thank you Fred. Mine K40 sat in the pantry for a year. The second I touched the valve it started dispensing. You are the reason we make these videos.

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!! LOL
Can't live without my coffee... and couldn't get a new maker, tonight. You're DIY saved my Keurig, my pocketbook and.. my sanity 😉 THANK YOU!!! 🥰
Thank you Fred !!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are reading this today -Have a Happy New Year and all the best to you and your family.
Works like a charm .
Thank you for the comment, I am truly surprised and happy by how many people have commented and have been helped by the video, almost 204K hits!
I followed these instructions and could see my problem... not the check valve but the part of the tube that goes down to nozzle.

This totally worked for me! My Keurig wasn’t making pump sounds at all, but after freeing this valve, everything works great!
I am SOOO glad I found this! I had to syphon the first tube closest to the needle and got a mouthful of grounds but it cleared the trouble. Happened to break down while I was visiting my mom and figured I would give it a go... So glad I gave it a try! Saved my mom 100 bucks for a new one!! Thanks Fred!
CONFIRMED: THIS STILL WORKS FEB 2021!! Fred, you are a lifesaver! This fix solved my problem! Turns out it was my check valve, too! Thank you so much!

5 years and this is the fix, my Keurig is also 5 years old, looks just like this one. Thank you, watched 6 fix videos and tried them all before I found this and it worked great
This worked today! My 18 year old daughter did it all by herself. Thank you!

Stopped using my Keurig for a few months, when started up it gave me the same issues. This worked like a charm, Thank You!
I am another satisfied customer! Thanks so much for this tip! I thought my 4 year old Keurig had bit the dust, time to buy a new one. Tried this and it did the trick! Saved me over $100 (at least for now).

This video absolutely helped fix my Keurig. Thank you for saving me from buying a new K-machine!
Christmas Miracle!!! Not only did you save the Keurig at my mom's house, you saved Christmas.
Keith Terry glad it worked for you :)
Like others, I was about to ditch the Keurig except I was not going to buy a new one. I was going to go back to a regular coffee machine. Your video worked for me. Stuck check valve. Thanks!

Keurig told me my pump was shot but your video fixed my machine! Thanks for extending the life of my Keurig!!
Thank you so much for this video Fred!!! It works like a charm now!!! And it was so easy to fix....bought this one brand new at Goodwill for $3, obviously donated because they couldn't get it to work...now I have a new Keurig for our Air BNB...

Just did this and it worked. You saved me from a mental breakdown this morning in 2020, kind sir. Thank you.
Fred you are the best!! Tried all the other 'solutions'. This is the only one that did the job. Cheers and thanks.
Thank you so much.I watched 2 other videos before yours and your video solved my problem. We had to squeeze and run it about 5 times for it to work on it’s own. Glad we didn’t give up. I appreciate your taking the time to post this. Thanks again.

My wife just bought me the Kuerig K Elite last night to replace my classic. I have had that bad boy for 7 year's and it just started making all sorts of loud noises figured pump was bad. Im gonna open her up in a bit and it makes sense for it to be the valve. Maybe I'll get another 7 out of her. Perhaps my parents since we've already got the Elite coming but no sense in tossing a good machine!! Here's to another 7 year's. Thanks for the vid!
Saved me from buying another one. Thanks for putting this tutorial up.
Worked like a dream. Why those 2 screws aren’t magnetic is beyond me. Thank you for this video.
This is awesome. Worked like a charm. Thanks Fred! UA-cam saves the day... almost everyday actually! 👍
Fiance was going to chuck out the kurig and I said wait I'll fix it, saw your video and it was running in 5 min....Thanks
I feel like I just learned one of the secrets of the universe ! It worked and had it fixed in a few minutes! Thanks!
The struggle is over.Thank you, it 'Worked'. I will be buying a set of magnetic screwdrivers.
worked first time after doing this. Tried all the other fixes, none worked, found this one last [of course] and was spot on!!
I had the same problem, did the same check valve massage and now my Keurig is pumping to beat hell! Thanks so much for your video.
Awesome. .I took the unit apart the day before, thinking it was the pump..I was about to buy another before I looked up your video..I followed your steps and it worked and even better than it had been..thanks for revealing one of the universe secrets.!!!! PS..Took only 5 minutes to repair!
Almost bought a coffee ninja but thought I'd try YT first, this was going to be the last video I was going to watch before heading to best buy for the ninja. THANK YOU WHAT a great fix
My Keurig stops working nearly every time I descale it. I tried all my regular methods to get it to start brewing again and none worked. I found your video and it works again :). I swear that just taking the cover off told my machine that I meant business! The hardest part was putting the cover back properly so it closes and getting those tiny screws in place. Thanks!
Thank you this video. I was about to order a new Keurig unit, but I saw your video and followed your instructions. My Keurig unit is working again.
Your the best after trying everything else I found in troubleshooting kuerig online and nothing worked! I found your video and fixed it myself! So happy! 😁😋😍🤗🍵
Thank you so much! I was shopping online for a new keurig for my husband since ours died this morning...turns out it wasn’t dead after all!! Appreciate you making this video and saving me over $100 for a new one!
Well GOSH DANG if this just fixed the problem. YAHOOO!!!! Sad thing is I threw one away that I had for 9 years 🥺 before picking one up from a garage sale for $5 which was an upgrade from the one I had for $5. It too wasn't spouting anything out and like David (in the comment section) I literally had Amazon Shopping open ready to buy a new one. THANK YOU SIR!! 💛💛💛 Grateful for my hubby who lead me to your video.
Thanks man. I picked up a free clogged keireg and fixed It in a minute thanks to you
awesome! this fixed mine too. i started taking mine apart from the bottom before I googled and found your video. appreciate you making this my friend! THANK YOU!!!!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I was beginning to think I had what the old Murphy's Law meant when it said, "The repairman will never have seen a model quite like yours.", but then I found your video with the same K40 model and now after a couple of squeezes of the check valve our $4 garage sale Keurig is making coffee. The wife is so pleased. Great video!
Fred, you are my HERO!!! I was going to have to waste time and money driving into town for a new brewer. Your video was clear and easy to follow. My husband thinks I'm a genius! I said, "Well yes, I am a genius but that's beside the point haha! The real genius here is Mr. Fred Flint!" Thank you from the bottom of my coffee cup!
I am so glad that it worked for you and it was easy to follow. I made the video on a whim after figuring out how to fix my Mother in Law's and not finding any other videos like my solution. It was my first real how to video.
Thank you for posting!!! It worked and I did it all myself. I'm in a wheelchair and always have to ask for help but your video saved me from having to ask or buy a new one!!!
Wow! Thank you! Even though I was not able to remove the plastic cover, I put an end of a spoon on either side and pushed together. It worked!! Thank you.
Gonna try that. Cuz cat get it off.
I watched several others fix their keurig and I tried what they did and it still didn't work, but after watching you and I tried again now mine s working thank you so much!!!
Thank u dude, saved me. All the other tutorials were nothing like this and didn't work
WOW. Today my 2004 Keurig B31machine decided not to discharge coffee. Found this video. Though different model than in this video, principal is the same. B31 has accessible short distance tube, no easy access to the check valve. I squeezed this tube until it started to discharge water. Had to repeat filling the water and discharge few times before full discharge was established.
Thank you for your tip!
I am still amazed at how many people this video has helped and the comments that have been left. over 450K actual views and 79% of people come form external sites so someone is linking to my video vs browsing or searching youtube I assume. I am not an expert at posting videos as you may have guessed and do not make any revenue from the video.
thanks again for posting a comment.
This guy deserves lsome sort of saver of the year award
I am incredibly happy and surprised by all the positive feedback. I made the video on a whim since I did not find this fix anywhere. over 340K views.
Had some trouble getting the lid off.but unscrewed the handle and set it down and it slipped right out! Thank you so much, this totally worked and was super easy!
Thanks Fred! Your easy fix worked first try on my brewer. My morning’s are saved.
THANK YOU!!!!!! Unfortunately I bought a new one yesterday...but I wanted a 2.0 anyways and this was an excuse to buy one! BUT I have been tirelessly working on this one with all of the other tips I used in the past and nothing. Now that this one is alive again, I can use it at work or donate it! You rock!
Fred, thank you, thank you, thank you. All the other you tube videos telling how to fix my Keurig didn't work, but your's did! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you thank you thank you! spent way too long on the keurig website to find an answer. Of course I had no luck until I found this video. Thank you again for the tip!
Thanks for the tip, it was real easy to do and you saved me over $100 as I was about to toss it and buy a new one.
I did show you just how to do it. Once I figured it out I redid everything other than clogging it back up. Literally all you have to do is massage the silicone check valve.
This worked like a charm...It was the check valve. Thanks so much!
Thank You So Much Sir. You tip is saving thousands of dollars. God Bless you and thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks so much for this video! I have an older Keurig (model K70) and once I took out the two screws, I realized the top of the housing did not come off because of the way the lever overlaps it, and the lever is riveted on so it couldn't be removed. Anyhow, when I pulled the housing away as far as I could, I was able to squeeze the check valve using my pinky fingers inserted through the openings where the lever slides along the sides. I also used the handle of a toothbrush to press down on the top of the check valve. It took a few tries because it wasn't easy to get in there but it finally fixed the problem!
I am so glad it worked out for you it seems to be an issue across the whole line.
Thank you so much! My mom was freaking out about her coffee maker not working so I had to fix it. I massaged it the first time and it didn’t work but I tried again for longer and it worked wonders!! This was super helpful
Worked like a charm!! Thank you so much🙌🏽 Hardest part was getting those tiny screws back in. I ended up using a pair of tweezers to position the screw so I could use screwdriver to put them back in place. Thanks again!
Worked for me. Saved me buying a new Keurig. Thanks
Omg thank you so much for posting this!! After spending HOURS hitting, dropping, blowing into my keurig nothing was working and this fixed it!!
May I just say I LOVE YOU! and leave it at that? Big smiles on my victory today!
Perfect fix. Thanks for sharing!! I can now enjoy my morning coffeee.
This video has helped me fix my keurig twice! Thank you for uploading
Worked like a charm!! My husband was going to throw it out and I fixed it...thanks to you! :)
I've spent all night trying to fix this Keurig, until I found your video. This was the fix thank you so much! Now time to enjoy my coffee, even though it's now 11pm. Lol
Fred You are awesome. I had tried the paper clip in the spout, the turkey baster at the reservour and nothing worked. THIS worked flawlessly and in under 10 seconds after I got the cover open i had restored water flow to the nozzle. I also suggest after this is done, run a descaler through it (keurig and others sell it) to break down the stuff you may have still hiding in that valve. So happy I found your posting. ya Get a thumbs up and a subscribe from me! Wife thinks i am a genius! Thanks Again. Matt
You're awesome Fred! Thanks so much guy; I watched a few videos that didn't help but after watching your video got mine to work immediately! Thanks again Fred👌👍😃
You the man thanks for the video my wife is so happy to get he morning coffee back
Video very informative and helped me from buying an entirely new keurig thank you
I thought I was going to have to buy a new one! Thank you! Worked like a charm and now my Keurig does too!
About to throw out my Keurig.. tried this.. and it worked! Thank you sooo much for posting!
hey thanks much for this fix my Keurig is brand new. It's been used maybe 10 times this fix was easy. i did exactly as you showed and it did the trick i haven't screwed the top back on yet. i think i'll do a few more brews to make sure all is good
Thank you!! Thank you!! An ex-employee left this behind. I couldn’t get it to work. It’s probably why he left it behind. I found this video and got it work! Free!!
This was a great video and I had the exact problem. After words I ran white vinegar through it to descale it as well. WELL DONE !
