Top 20 Keurig Platinum B70 Coffee Maker Questions & Answers

The most common cause is that the unit has become calcified. Follow your owner manual for descale the machine, lacking that, pour a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water (because your machine is clogged, you could consider using 100% vinegar) into the the machine, run so that some (get as much as possible) of the weak acid mixture has been pulled into the internal water path and then shut off and leave sit. because of the large degree of scale buildup, I would leave at least overnight, if not longer. It will take a considerable amount of time for the vinegar to dissolve the hardened calcium. After allowing the vinegar to work, restart the coffee maker and allow the remainder to pass through the machine. After cleaning, run a full pot of plain water through the machine, one full cycle, no coffee) to clean out the residue.

Try unplugging it for 30 sec. and plug back in. Give it time to reset. Hope this helps

In Uk i would take it back to shop as faulty and get either replacement or full refund as it is not fit for purpose. Depends where you live and what consumer rights you have.

look for any small appliance shop

there may be something blocking it at the hinge spring...

the word prime means that you have to fill the unit first so that all air is removed check for some sort of bleed valve /screw at the top fill the unit first then connect it all up all these sort of instructions will be in the user manual for you to follow

You are not supposed to remove it. You can only wash it while in place with sanitized water.

You don't, Keurig uses air pressure to move liquid.

We had a similar problem at work with priming after replacing the water jug. We used to loosen the water line in the back of the unit to purge the air. This was messy, water all over the place. Next we tried brewing a cup without the K-cup in it. this worked well. Sometimes it takes 2 cycles but at least it is not as messy.

Hello if you have tried everything and it is still not working the way it should check to see what the warranty is if you still have the instructions if not call Keurig support.at 1-800-361-5628 and give them your model number.. Hope this helps. Good luck ,All the best!

Keurig has a good warranty program. I would return it and get a new one.

Can you jam something plastic under the float so that it is up as high as it will go and try again. If that doesn't fix it then the problem is likely to be the sensor behind the housing in line with the float.

When everything else that you tried fails... like descaling with vinegar and leave it for 15-24 hrs 2-3x before brew rinsing), or the paper clip on both top and bottom punchers cleaning, or turning it upside down and giving it a shake, or cleaning the water reservoir entrance. then, for the last resort, before deciding on replacing the diaphragm pump... open the bottom metal part, inspect for any visible drip of water (accumulation of white hard water stains, or discoloration on the metal) visualize where it's coming from. Mine is on 2 spots, from the diaphragm pump (where there's 3 black screws) and where the connection of the main pump to the reservoir. This good news, it means nothing wrong with the pumps. it's been leaking water so the connection is the only problem (must be air tight). The common sense FIX: depress the metal clamp and pull the plastic tube out, clean the inside and the connection and re-attach it back making sure the little leak will stop. Replace the other one with a new tie wrap and make sure it's air tight.

probly needs serviced seals

if the unit is built for 110 bolts and it is plugged into 220 volts, either the unit or the outlet circuit breaker is the problem. Circuit breaker can be reset - not so much for the coffee maker. Check the circuit breaker and then see if another appliance will work. If not, the circuit needs troubleshooting. If the circuit works, then have the coffee maker serviced.

Cleaning & descaling your Keurig brewer is an important step to enjoying the best tasting coffee and keeping your brewer in good shape for years. 4 Comments 2

How often you need to do it depends heavily on how often you use your brewer and how "hard" your local water is ("hard" meaning how many minerals are in it). I try to do this 3-4 times a year. Comment Recommended For You 3

Open the top of your brewer and remove the K-cup holder. CAUTION: There's are two sharp needles in there. Be careful. Comment 4

The cup holder is dishwasher safe. You can toss it in the dishwasher if you want. Otherwise a good rinse under warm running water is usually good. There's a sharp needle in here, so be careful. Comment 5

Turn the cup holder over and ensure these holes at the bottom are free of any obstruction. Comment 6

The drip-tray is removable. Give it a good clean either by hand or in the dishwasher. Comment 7

The upper portion of the K-cup holder also has a needle. This needle has three holes in it. Insert a straightened paper clip into each hole to remove any buildup or obstructions. 1 Comment 8

Here's a close up: There's nothing you can break in here, so use some force and get that paperclip a good inch in and wiggle it around vigorously. Repeat this for the two other holes in the needle. 1 Comment 9

Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe away any coffee grinds or water stains in and around the cup holder area, and down the front of the brewer. Comment 10

Be careful of that needle inside when wiping it down. Comment 11

Put the K-cup holder back in the chamber. Make sure it's the right way around by aligning the arrows at the top of the holder. Comment 12

Empty the water in the brewer's external reservoir. 2 Comments 13

Refill the reservoir with undulated white vinegar and replace on your brewer. 1 Comment 14

Run four large cup brew cycles. DO NOT use a K-cup, just run it empty . Dispose of the hot vinegar after each. This pushes the vinegar through the inside heating tank as well as all the valves inside. 2 Comments 15

Leave your brewer to stand, powered on for four hours. This allows the vinegar time to break down any build up in the tubes and valves inside the brewer. 1 Comment 16

Discard any leftover vinegar then refill the reservoir with water only. Comment 17

Run large cup cycles until "Add Water" is displayed on your brewer's screen. This washes out all traces of vinegar from the insides of the system. Comment 18

If you notice a vinegar-like smell or taste to the water coming out of your brewer, refill the reservoir with water a second time and run hot water cycles until empty. 3 Comments 19

Congratulations!! Your Keurig brewer is now clean and your ready to enjoy full cups of delicious coffee for months to come! 3 Comments
