    My 13 year old son and I fixed our 2.0 with two washers and some adhesive. Its a simple fix that you can easily do (even if you dont want to unscrew anything, but taking the cover off makes it easier. I really hope this video helps someone out there!! - Tim

SOURCE: My Keurig just started only filling my mug 1/2

Have you tried following the descaling procedure given in your owner's manual? The mineral build-up from hard water can cause low flow, and since the machine pumps for a fixed time this means less water in the cup. Descaling usually brings back normal operation.

SOURCE: How to disassemble a Keurig B60?

As tgmusicgirl says you don't need to take the top off and you don't need to take the top silver part off to work on the insides. First take the bottom metal plate off as tgmusicgirl said then take the black outer sleeve off. The black outer sleeve is held to the top silver part with 3 plastic j-hooks which are part of the top silver part to hook into plastic brackets on the black outer sleeves. The j-hooks are located at the back about 1 inch from the left side, then about 5.25 inches from the left edge around the curve part of the sleeve and the 3rd hook point is in the front about 1 inch from the right front corner of the sleeve. There were no screws holding the sleeve as tgmusicgirl indicated on my B50 unit. Releasing the j-hooks without breaking them are very difficult since it's plastic and you can't see them to release them properly. Once the j-hooks are released the black sleeve slides toward the bottom to remove it. One way to imagine the j-hooks is to think that the j-hooks are pointing down with the open end facing the sleeve. The sleeve has rectangular rings molded on the inside of the sleeve and you just push the sliver part down into the sleeve until the j-hooks snaps into place.

SOURCE: My keurig won't even turn

Hi,

The problem is often that the machine develops a leak in the hose that is rightover the transformer...the water drips onto the transformer and kills that...then you have no power to run the machine.

Here is a tip that I wrote about this problem...

Keurig handle wont raise or lower it is stuck in the halfway position

Check for obstructions behind the machine, in the area behind the handle and in the area behind the kcup holder. Ensure that the kcup holder is inserted correctly, aligning the arrows at the top. Be careful of the needles!

My brand new Keurig B70 empties the entire reservoir when turned on. When turned off and back on, the machine waits a few seconds and continues emptying the reservoir. It only stops when empty.

Hi, If its new, 1 in 10 will have a water flow meter that is stuck, or stuck injector needle. It may not be able to count the water flow. You have to open the machine up and pull the meter apart and clean it. Most of the flow meters are easly desassembled, just twist the top off. Just make sure the o'ring is in place. Flow meter is the size of a match box and white in colour. Other wise it could be a stuck injector. The injector can be reached through the service door behind the brew unit. See if the injector needle moves up and down. Use a tooth pick. Im not familar with these machines so I hope it helps. dazza

GMC Envoy 2004 XUV tailgate won't latch closed. Pressure switch makes latch click but when I go to close it, it does not latch.

Two things happen. One the latch is already latched and therefore it's closed before the gate shut, When you try to close it you might notice that the door don't close all the way. This doe'snt have to be thwe case. the other thing that happens if the lock mechanism is working, You here it click? The latch is stuck as the opener is stuck. You might get lucky and spray the latch with Blaster or other rust buster type penatrant. Theres angles though the opening of the latch . Spray on several angles and repleatly close the door trying to vibrate the Penatrant into the stuck area. Looking at the latch use a screw driver to move the latch and see if you can cycle it though it's positions to see if you can latch and unlatch it with the tool and reopen by pullung the handle ( you may need to try ther inside handle too and even the remote openner if you have one. Ussaaaly you need to push the button twice to open the rear hatch so it may take a few trys and spraying to get it to come loose.. Some vehicals stay closed a long time and stuck is the way to think.. But if the door is used often the linkage inside the door mayh have come off the the latch is closed and the linkage doesn't open the laTCH AND THE THING MANAGED TO GET CLOSED WITHT THE DOOR OPEN.

Keyless chuck is stuck open

That can happen if the jaws inside the chuck, usually 3 triangular pieces get jammed together. With chuck facing down tap chuck several times to loosen jaws. If that doesn't work spray a small amount of WD-40 into chuck and try again
