SOURCE: I turn the power on

Hi, well what happens usually is the little thermistor goes open circuit, and this then stops the heating element. It's part of the thermostat controller.
Sometimes it is the thermal fuse, again inside, this is a device that if overheated it goes open circuit and cut off power to the element.
If one is repair inclined then replacement of these things are not too difficult, however, one needs to be able to order spare parts, and to do this one needs the all important parts numbers, usually only available from a service manual, or a repairer.
so unfortunately like with a few things that i see in my shop these days it is most likely an uneconomic repair?
The cheapest and best way to sort this out, is to get the unit looked at by a professional, however before just giving the go-ahead to repair it, please ask for a "Quote", this way at least you will know what's what.

SOURCE: Water runs continuously and doesn't

Hi,

According to you the water is not heating of your coffee maker. There is some problem with the heater system of coffee maker. May be the fuse is dead or the connection or the wiring cut out. check ant repair it. May the brewer need cleaning. Periodic descaling of the machine is recommended for your brewer. More frequent descaling may be necessary depending on the hardness of the water. See the manual or contact with nearest service center.

That whole system is run with air pressure. You need to check all the valves for deposits and proper operation.

How to reset keurig b40

1. There is some confusion over models. I've seen "B40" models and instructions with only one size cup button, both labeled B40. I own one stamped "B40" on the bottom, and it has two buttons -- small and large. FWIW, small = 8 oz, large = 10 oz.

2. These reset instructions from another site seemed to do something
What to Do If Your Keurig Won Brew Cup Barista

So.. this is what I did that worked for mine: 1) Hold down Auto-Off and LARGE cup at same time. (all lights should hold steady ON) 2) press SMALL cup while still holding Auto-Off and LARGE cup 3) Release all three, press LARGE cup again.. all lights should go off. 4) Unplug for about 5 - 10 second, plug back in. SHOULD WORK!

3. On *_my_* B40, remove the K-cup, close the door, fill the reservoir. Unplug and replug the B40. All lights should be off.

Pressing "Auto Off" and "Large Cup" together will turn on 3 lights (Heating, Add Water, Power) for about 3 seconds. Doesn't matter how long the buttons are pressed or what order they are released.

I tried lots of add-on combinations: e.g. press button x, press x multiple times, press x while lights are still on, press x after lights are off, press buttons x and y together, press x then y, press x and/or y while still holding Auto and Large, release Auto but not Large and press x, etc.

Nothing gave any confirmation that a reset was accepted. All lights always turned off after 3 seconds. Maybe Reset is only 1 step, i.e. Auto+Large together?

After brewing a cup, lights are flashing and it needs to be unplugged to reset to brew

It's time to descale your brewer. Run a full reservoir of pure white vinegar through, and then a full reservoir of water, "brewing" and dumping one cup at a time. You might have to do two reservoirs of vinegar if you've never rescaled it before.

Small cup, add water, heating lights keep flashing after brew

I had this problem too.
I just pressed the small brew button; it pulled some water from the reservoir and heated it but nothing came out. Then I opened and closed the top cop thing and both the cup sizes were flashing and it worked like normal again.
