    • Open the top lid of the Keurig.

    • Pull directly outwards on one of the arms that holds the top lid in place. It will take some force to get the arm off the peg. Once one side is off, repeat the process on the second arm.

    • Push in on one of the arms attached to the K-cup holder plastic housing to remove it from its rails. The arms are identical for both sides so once one side is free repeat the process for the second side.

    • The plastic is flexible and will not snap with the force applied.

    • Once the arms are removed, the configuration should look like the picture. The K-cup holder housing should be separated from the arms.

    • Lift up the top arm assembly to get it out of the way. Once it is out of the way, clear out any obstructions in the drain.

    • Use your finger or a slender object to clean the drain. Avoid pushing material further down the drain as that may cause obstructions deeper in the system.

    This tutorial was wonderful. However, it did not address what turned out to be my problem. After ascertaining that there was no obstruction in the drain, decided to suck and blow on the tube. Voila! There was some kind of obstruction there. After putting it back together, it works like a charm.

I wish i would have checked the needle first because that is where mine was clogged...then i wouldn't have had to do all those steps...but the instructions here were very good..thank you...

For me too the problem was that the needle that punctures the pod was clogged. Maybe add to check that first and avoid taking everything apart. Great instructions though.

This helped a lot. I used a large syringe. We used to raise birds & had a variety of sizes. Put the syringe on the tube & pulled several times.Seemed to free any clog at the very bottom. Put back together & it's working now.but I notice sprinkles of water as is heats up now. Just need to figure what could be causing this.

So my keurig was not clogged. BUT. After taking it apart and putting it back together, it works now! #sweetcaffeinatedvictory

How do I get to the bottom of the reservoir. I think something is in there at the bottom blocking the tube.

I followed all the instructions and realized it was my needle that was clogged. Thank you! You saved me…had gotten it as a gift and didnt want to tell I had “broken" it. Again THANK YOU!

I want to know what that rubber circular thing under the top arm assembly and where you would get another one. Mine stopped pumping water through and after taking it apart, I realized that it was because that part wasn’t creating a good enough seal to make it able to form a vacuum. I wiped at it with my finger on both the main hole and the rubbery part and it works again. But who knows for how long. I tried asking Keurig about it and they just want to keep giving me the run around. First they said there were no user serviceable parts. Challenge accepted. Now they won’t give me a straight answer about how to replace this one simple part. They want to talk to me on the phone about it. I don’t get why it is so hard!!!

I was able to open everything and put back in place. Not sure what was clogged, I know I cleaned many things and now it’s working and saved a few $ :) Thanks.
