B, after turning power on and then off, Did the machine try to reset brew unit to home position Yes or no?

SOURCE: Brew unit in Miele coffee system CVA615 block

It sounds like the connector or wiring that links the LCD display board on the door to the main PCB inside the coffe maker has become loose or damaged.
This would cause the text displayed to become scrambled.
Its a 26 way connector that is labelled JP16 (on the next model up) and is next to a large IC.

SOURCE: brew unit stuck

Hi molly girl.
You can try to clean your Brewunit. Most of the times when that message appears, it means the brewunit is dirty

You can have more info in the manual if you dont have it:

SOURCE: miele brew unit jammed and brewunit block is being displayed

There is a third solution. The brewunit drive motor has three contact switches that indicate home, preset (loading grounds, I assume) and make espresso. The problem is the three contact switches are all on one circuit, so the microprocessor knows a limit switch has been reached, but it doesn't know which one. The programming obviously assumes the limit switches are reached in the correct sequence. In my case, the microprocessor thought the brew unit was in home position when it was in the make espresso position. Miele technical support recognized this immediately, so it is a common problem. The solution is to remove the top panel of the unit, unplug the unit, unplug JP34 on the microprocessor board (four wires, red/yellow/brown/black, in the middle back edge of the microprocessor board). Plug in the unit, put it in maintenance mode, and press and hold the medium coffee button for several seconds. This will move the drive motor past the current limit switch. Plug JP34 back in, plug in the machine, and put it in maintenance mode. Press and hold the large coffee button for a second or two, maximum. Open the machine, and look at the brew unit drive male gear in the main machine as compared to the brew unit female gear. It will take several tries to get the male/female gears to match so you can plug in the brew unit. Once this is done, and the brew unit snaps in place correctly, place the machine in maintenance mode one more time and press and hold the Medium Coffee button to reset the microprocessor with the limit switches. You should be back in business!

The brew unit has lose parts on left-hand-side, wiggle them up and down. Put the waste unit back, switch off the machine and then turn it on (pull the cord). It worked for me!!!

Our Keurig B60 displays "NOT READY Auto off set" and does nothing. What can we do to bring it back to life?

Press the off/on switch and poof on the machine and then check. If that is not helping then try this procedure as follows:--- 1. Simultaneously press and release "small mug" and "medium mug". Immediately afterward press "menu" 3 times. (Menu is the black button under the display screen .) You should see a time 6:09 on your screen.

2. Press "menu" once. Your LCD screen should say Brew 0:00.

3. (I messed this step up like 10 times and had to unplug the machine, then replug it and start over at step one. You have to unplug if the LCD displays "auto ____". If it continues to flash "Not Ready" and "Brew" then you can just keep trying step 3). Press and hold "medium mug". While holding "medium mug" press and release "menu". Immediately after pressing "menu" (while still holding "medium mug") press "small mug". Release "small mug" and "medium mug" at the same time. This entire thing needs to be done very quickly. as soon as you release "menu" go to "small mug" and release both buttons quickly.

4. Unplug the machine (do not turn it off). Wait for 3 seconds or so. Plug it back in, turn it on and follow the instructions for priming.
--------- If this instructions also not helping then try this, instead of holding the medium cup while pushing and releasing menu .you simutaneously push and release medium cup and menu and then medium cup and small cup and then check out. Thanks. keep updated for any more query.you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

I press the large cup but it brews a small cup. What should I do to fix this?

I have have the same problem first thing in the morning. My first cup, I press large but with no K-cup; it comes out small or medium. I put the water aside (pour it back into the reservoir after it cools.) Then I brew a large cup using a K-cup, and it comes out the right size. I still want to know how to fix the problem, but at least this works for now.

1. After brewing a cup of coffee, when the grinds are emptying, a stream of coffee and grinds drains into the Drip Tray from the valve(?) in the rear right of the Drip Tray. We have gone into program mode...

HI
Excess water into the drip tray is an indication that you don't have enough coffee going into the brew unit. There is a lever on the top of the door that has a + on one side and a - to the front. Push the lever back to the full plus, then pull it forward 1 click. Try that.
Water into the drip tray is normal in small amounts. This is the release of pressure after brewing, like the 3 way valve on commercial machines

No ready que

I received my B60 from Ebay and when it came the "not ready" message was blinking. I called the company and honestly told them my problem and also mentioned that it was an Ebay purchase with no warranty. They fixed my problem for free anyway, and were very friendly. I will definitely consider purchasing more from them in the future based on this experience. We reset my machine by doing the following two steps:

1. Press the small and medium cup buttons at the same time then immediately press the menu button three times.

(the number listed there showed how many cups of coffee the machine had made--mine said 0:04 which was four cups)

2. Hold the medium cup button and hit menu button then the small cup button quickly while still holding the medium button then release the small and medium quickly.
