The problem might be common however, Keurig does not have any repair centers around the country, nor do they have schematic drawing available :(. In order to get your problem taken care of you have to call Keurig directly 1.866.901.BREW

Have to lift and reset the water tank each time to have water pulled into system. Any fixes?

No mine is doing the same thing. Keurig said they redesigned water pump recently. It acts like it is vapor locking at times so it does not draw in water. I am returning this model.

There is a design flaw with the new Keurig units. They don't always draw water after brewing a cup. Some people say the company is using a weaker pump so they are less noisey. Some success if you remove water tank and drop it securly back in place. This seems to unstick the vavle.

My keurig coffee maker keeps shutting itself off. This is the second one weve had with this problem.

The water reservoir tank probably isn't seated properly. Try wiggling the tank a bit and if that doesn't do the trick, completely remove the water reservoir and then replace it. Once it's seated properly, it should start drawing water and brew as designed. The constant reservoir adjusting may be necessary periodically and seems to be a design flaw with this model. Hope that helps! Best of luck...

1. Power off machine.

2. Using a metal paperclip, insert it into left side of top needle. It must insert at least 1" deep. Insert it into slot on right side and again from back of needle.

3. Remove KCup cradle. Separate bottom from top. In the top section, insert the paperclip up into bottom needle from the bottom upwards. It will not go all the way thru and this is normal.

4. Reassemble KCup cradle and reinsert it back into coffee maker.

5. Power on machine.

6. Brew a cup of water only. There may be coffee grounds in the water and these should eventually clear during the remaining steps. NOTE: A large cup brew cycle should output a full 8 ounces (235cc). Less means there is still a blockage

My Keurig SS700 quit pumping water completely. I tried the de-scaling. Didn't work. I cleaned the needle with a paper clip. Instant fix. Now descaling. Thanks much Diceman51.
