Keurig B60 Coffee Maker - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Here's what I discovered about my Keurig B60: The water reservoir has a valve in a nipple on the bottom that slides into a clear plastic fitting within the base of the unit. Water from the reservoir is supposed to pass through the fitting and into the pump, which is also in the base. Over time, hard water deposits can build up on the nipple or the mating fitting (or both) such that a good seal is not made when the reservoir is in place and water slowly leaks out the bottom. To fix this, I removed the five screws on the bottom of the Keurig and then removed the two screws which hold the fitting in place. I gently cleaned both the clear plastic fitting and the nipple in the bottom of the reservoir with white vinegar. After rinsing both with clean water and drying both, I applied a small amount of silicon faucet grease (available at any hardware store) to both parts. I haven't had any more leaks since, although I assume I will have to repeat this operation periodically.

A European Union decision on July 13, 2000, called for a statutory withdrawal from sale of lindane products by June 20, 2002. For "Atlas Steward," "Doff Ant, "Doff Weevil" and "Doff gamma BHC dust," the notices prohibited advertisement, sale, supply, storage and use by the manufacturers and their agents of existing stocks of the products. However, retailers would still be allowed to advertise and sell these products until the June 20, 2002 date.The Ban Lindane Group, a UK alliance of groups including Pesticide Action Network UK, Womens Environmental Network, Unison, Soil Association and Friends of the Earth, are calling on government officials to have all household products containing lindane withdrawn immediately, before the June 2002 statutory withdrawal. They also call for an awareness-raising campaign since it is likely that these products will remain in people's homes and sheds for months or years to come.

First, I'm not a Keurig technician. Since your machine seems to be calcified then the vibration pump is probably clogged or at least the vibration one way valve is stuck open. I DO NOT recommend De-scaling as it causes more problems if the wrong chemicals are used and gets stuck in the machine. Most warranties are voided unless recommended or performed by the MFR. (most just replace the machine, which hints to how hard it is to De-scale a machine.) - Water not getting to machine or not sensing that the water tank is already filled. * There usually some type of float near to middle of the water tank. It's usually white or colored plastic. This 'float' needs to move freely up-down to 'sense' the filled tank. clean the tank and shake it -note the movement of this float. It will need further cleaning if it's stuck (or you will have to replace tank if it's crudded up). * Re-install tank and fill with filtered water. Turn machine off, count to 15 then turn on again. This usually turns on pump to add water to inner tank. If this does not happen then there is a CPU problem. If it does hums for 5-10 seconds then goes off but no heating then the pump may have an air bubble in line. Try the turn off and on method several times (up to 5) to get the water flowing. If it's still not working then there is a clog in the pump and will need service and/or replacement. * Did you change water source? Since this is a table top machine in which you fill the water tank. Try to use filtered (bottled ok) water. Do Not use Distilled or 100% pure water as this type of water will eat out the metals from your machine! Some places use a water softener as it tends to be better for the machine long term (years). * Still got problems? Check with vendor or MFR for service or replacement. Most machines of this type do not have serviceable parts or adjustments. * Final, Okay, sounds like you opened (voided warranty) the machine already. I don't recommend any repairs on these table models as it's preferred to exchange them during the warranty period. ****************************************************************** *** But if you must tear this particular unit apart then do so very carefully *** At your own Risk! *** The following is just information: ****************************************************************** The pump is usually a round cylinder about 1-2 inches round. There is a white nylon tube at one end and another tube out the back which may or may not have a 90 degree elbow fitting. Your looking at the longer end. Set a dry tower and remove the longer white end. There may be clips or screws that holds it together. Be aware of how the pieces come apart and what order. (there may be videos of this on youtube but I haven't checked. Maybe I will do one later.) Expect a small pen size spring (same as an old ball point pen but shorter) and a very tiny metal or nylon ball or bullet shaped piece. Make sure these are cleaned of calcium and sand. Puff out any bits of crud or use a pipe cleaner. Make sure everything is clean. The plunger can be removed and checked but make sure you put it back the same way. This is very TEDIOUS and a lot of labor. This is why it's better to just replace the whole unit. You have already spent an hour just to get to this point. Clean and re-assemble everything. Put back together and refill tank with water. Power up and test. * Still not working? Junk it. (Keep the pot and cups) Look for a more heavy duty unit as it seams your a heavy coffee drinker and could use a semi pro machine. "Hey, Look at my cool Espresso Machine! Cappuccino anyone?"

looking for fuses will not solve the problem triggering the reset button is an indication of over load current and that is a short take it to an appliance repair shop for repair or junk it

Check the hoses and clamps going to and from the heating element.

Try plugging it into another outlet, preferably one on a different circuit breaker. If this works call an electrician. I have seen electronic devices do all sorts of strange things when the power is bad.

"Prime" usually indicates the pump is sucking air. Sometimes the valve in the bottom of the water reservoir gets stiff or gunked up; if you turn off the B60, remove the water container and drip some water into the water intake until it's full, turn the unit back on, replace the water reservoir and that little amount of extra water should be enough to allow the pump to work properly.

According to the manufacturer, you cannot empty the water inside. You can only empty the external reservoir. Sorry.

If you mean the reservoir, the only cleaning that Keurig recommends is wipe it out with a clean soft cloth.

We had the same problem with the Keurig 2.0. We ran many cups of vinegar followed by water and it didn't fix the problem at all. The only fix was calling Keurig and they replaced the unit. We had a real nice 460. They replaced the unit with an inferior 350. Smaller reservoir, B&W screen and some missing menu options and different color trim. However, it works.

It might be time to clean your keurig. Fill the water tank with vinegar and run through about 5-6 glasses leaving time in between to let the vinegar clean. After running all of the vinegar through it should be brewing regularly again.

Contact the maker for info before working on it.

try pressing all 3 size buttons down and then with them down press menu, wait then unplug and wait 10 seconds or so then plug in and it should have re booted.

Zen: Maybe you can repair it yourself. Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEkgbqO6aX0 or try this site: https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Keurig_Coffee_Maker and this one is for someone else to repair it: http://savealatte.com/keurig-repair-center/ I hope this helps! :)

Turn off the Keurig coffee maker, and unplug the power cord. Allow the unit to cool for 30 minutes before emptying the water. This gives the water inside the hot water tank an opportunity to cool, helping to prevent accidental scalding when emptying.

Pull the lid off the top of the water reservoir. Lift the water reservoir straight up and to the right of the coffee maker. Pour out any remaining water in the reservoir into the sink.

Turn the small thumb screw on the back of the Keurig coffee maker counterclockwise with your fingers, and pull off the rear access panel. If the screw is too tight to turn with your fingers, use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the screw. Once you remove the access panel, a tube with a plug on the end is visible. Pull the tube out of the plastic clip holder.

Place a large pitcher behind the coffee maker. Hold the end of the tube over the pitcher, and pull the plug out of the tube. Allow the water to drain into the pitcher. If necessary, maneuver the coffee maker to the edge of the counter, and hold the pitcher alongside the counter with the top at counter level.

Push the plug back into the end of the tube once no more water drains from the hot water tank. Empty the pitcher of water into the sink, and push the tube back into the plastic clip holder. Position the back access panel onto the coffee maker and secure with the thumb screw knob.
