    I need to replace the on/off switch on our coffee maker, but I have tried phillips screwdriver, allen wrench, flat blade screw driver and none of them work to remove screws to remove the base. I can see no other way to get to the interior of the unit to get to the switch. Any ideas on what type of screwdriver to use or to get to the area where the switches are located?

Just had the same problem. You need to use a Torx T-9 Tamper resistant screwdriver. It is a star bit with a small hole in the center.
I purchased mine at Appliance Parts company in Las Vegas.702-382-6532.
Good luck

    I called cuisinart customer service and was told that they could not tell me what tool is needed to open the bottom of the coffee maker.

    I asked if there was a local authorized repair center and was told that there is no repair program for their coffee maker. It is considered a throw away item.

    I found the right tool by calling several differrent people knowledgeble in small appliance repair. I repaired this $100 throw away item for the cost of the tool and a 25 cent piece of tubing.

    IN YOUR FACE, CUISINART!

Hi,
^ Take out the water tank and then insert it again. If still no or little water is dispensed the steam valve is clogged. ^ Open the appliance door. ^ Press the steam lever down and pull off the rubber sleeve. ^ Using the small end of the provided tool unscrew the top of the steam valve counterclockwise. ^ Clean the tip and screw it on again

Will not brew, water runs back into reservior
Your pump is seized, call keurig for a replacement at 866-901-BREW.

If you're out of warranty, the repair instructions are as follows:

1) Unscrew the screws securing the k-cup arm top piece to the frame (look at the top needle, the screws are right by that)
2) Pull out the body piece, unscrew the 2 screws that secure the top cover to the unit. Pry up at the area near those screws to pop the top piece up more.
3) Remove the top cover from the brewer by removing the 4 securing clips (shine a flashlight into the gap, use a long screwdriver to disengage the clips). There is 1 on the left, 1 on the back side left, 1 on the back side right, and 1 on the right. Start on the left.
4) Remove the 2 screws above the LCD and the 1 screw on the opposite side. These secure the back cover to the unit.
5) Remove the bottom metal cover (you do not need to unscrew the rubber feet).
6) Remove the screws that secure the plastic frame to the bottom of the unit, the screws are located around the perimeter of the unit, there are 1 or 2 located in the center of the unit Remove the bottom pump for the water tank. Pry the frame out, be careful of the pump you just unscrewed.
7) Slide the back cover downward, and push it outward. Remove the back cover from the unit, or at least get it out of the way.
8) There is a small pump located on the lower right corner of the unit (underneath the transformer) Remove that, and disassemble it by removing the 3 screws on the bottom, and then the 2 screws located underneath the plastic layers.
9) Wash the pump with isopropyl alcohol, you may need to shake it or manually turn the pin to make it work. Test it using a 12V power supply.
10) Reassemble!

I just have the regular Black & Decker coffee maker and I have the water in it and the filter with coffee, everything you are supposed to do. It used to work just fine and then one day it stopped...
Sounds like you might have coffee oil build up. I would suggest soaking the Brew Head Screen, unscrew from the brew head where the coffee oils come into contact with machine, and filter holder in a coffee oil remover or dezcal.
Remove the screw if your filter basket has one and do not screw too tight when putting back together or it will happen again

Cannot remover the coffee grinder from machine.
Remove Coffee Maker's top cover. Slide coffee bean container off (after emptying it of coffee beans). Remove fixing screws (normally philips) securing the bean container platform. Remove grinder's bean intake rubber seal. Unscrew the grinder's fine/course selector, paying close attention to where it was originally fixed, from factory. 4 rubber bushing are anchoring the grinder in place, which can be seen from the front of the Coffee Maker (w/ door opened). Wiggle each rubber bushing through, as you pull grinder from the top. Grinder should come loose, after unplugging wires. - Good Luck
