Can i get a new water reservoir and k-cup holder?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

If the brewer is not brewing the full amount selected, it may be caused by the following:

• The exit needle is clogged by coffee grounds or cocoa mix. Please refer to the K-Cup Holder cleaning instructions.
• The brewer needs to be descaled. Please refer to the descaling instructions.
• The removable water reservoir was removed during brewing. Place the water reservoir back onto the brewer and perform a cleansing brew without a K-Cup pack.

I used an air-compressor with a small soft rubber nozzle, and blew out the rubber over-fill port, the peircing needle and the reserviour inlet, and it started working like new. I have done this to two seperate machines - that were both having short-pour options, and it worked like a champ

Check the needle inside the k-cup reservoir/holder to ensure it is clean and free from obstructions. The needle can get clogged easily, preventing it from brewing properly. You can remove it by pushing up from the bottom where it dispenses into your coffee cup. Wash it out completely, then brew a "blank" cup of just water on the largest size setting with no k-cup in it. If that isn't the problem, check your water reservoir tank to make sure it is seated properly. Jiggle it a bit or remove it and replace it pressing it down to make sure it is secured in the base well. Hope that helps! Best of luck...

Doesn't sound like a descaler issue. I am having problems with mine and noticed that water is flowing back into the reservoir when it is pouring into the coffee cup. I think there is a valve that is not closing properly.

Make sure the k-cup holder is snapped completely back into place. If the arrows aren't aligned and you don't snap the arrow-side in first, it won't work. If that doesn't do it, check your water reservoir to ensure it is properly seated in it's base. Hope that helps...best of luck!

This morning my Keurig sounds like it begins to pull water then stops. I tried to cut it off then back on. Still didn't work.Removed water from reservoir and K-cup and added pure vinegar. Ran machine several times without filter or Kcup by pressing cup selector several times. You must open K-cup holder and close each time. I had to do this about a dozen times before the water began to draw again. Flushed system by filling water reservoir with fresh water, and brewed just plain water until vinegar was gone.Works like brand new.

To replace water filter: Pull water filter holder out of reservoir, snap open, insert new charcoal water filters (can be ordered from Cuisinart or purchased froma store like william-Sonoma)

To clean machine: Run 2 cups water and 2 cups distilled white vinegar through machine like you would normal coffee.

To get rid of annoying self-clean lite: unplug machine from wall outlet for 20 minutes or longer.
