Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about how to register your Keurig Coffee Brewer, get manuals, and cleaning or troubleshooting guides.

what brand and model? No idea what you are talking about.

The Keurig has had an electrical failure inside, when it failed it tripped your power strip. Once the electrical fault in the Keurig has been fixed you will again be able to run both appliances from the power strip.

What to Do If Your Keurig Won Brew Cup Barista

Hi Carol - Sometimes, a product just reaches the end of its life. A product that sees daily (or more use) for 7 years is a pretty good run. Assuming you have cleaned and maintained it, there little more that the end user can do. These makers are more complex that the old "Mr. Coffee" or percolator that used to adorn everyone's countertop; and will often cost more to repair than it's worth. You will find it is easier and quicker to replace it with a new one and probably makes more sense than investing good money in a 7 year old coffee maker.

When was the last time the unit was descaled? A build up of scale will gradually restrict and then stop the water flow.

Run 8-16 oz of vinegar through it. That will help descale the machine. As a side note, make sure to run straight water through your maker at least five or six times (until the water doesn't smell like vinegar) once it's descaled.

After dismantling the B100 and trouble shooting the machine I determined that the hose leading to the air pump on the right side of the B100 allowed water to back flow into the motor. The small amount of moisture eventually caused the motor to fail.

I had to find a scrap machine, which most people that have bought this piece of equipment have just thrown it in the trash, and remove the motor from the opposite side which still functioned. Since it is designed to mount to a specific side I had to appoxy the motor into place. To keep the problem from occuring again I purchased a check valve from a local pet store and put it in-line with the motor.

This solved the problem at the source and has prevented moisture from getting into the motor. Now I am a proud owner of a Frankin Pot. It's alive!

Some of the Keurig machines were recalled for this issue They are Model number K10 (formerly identified as B31) produced prior to July 2014. c You can call toll-free at (844) 255-7886 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Time)I have attached a link to the site. I hope this helps.

Lift the reservoir, then reseat it. This will clear the prime message. If it repeatedly comes back then your machine is dead. If in the year warranty, call Keurig they will ship you a replacement. A common Keurig problem.

Some of the case is held with compression fittings, which you really have to be careful not to break. A long and very thin flat head screwdriver and some patience can probably get you there.

Try digging out the puncturing needle on the top of the cup mechanism with a safety pin. Often, the pin gets build up from sugars & starches from non-coffee cups. If that doesn't work, try running a tank of pure white vinegar through your machine. That will dissolve any build up from hard water or lime scale.

ADD WATER!!! Or is there some other problem that you don't describe, or something I am not understanding?

This is not a computer and you cannot Defrag?

Call factory for assistance, needs pro assistance.

See page 18 of the manual for instructions.

Timer section and valves open due to incorrect assignments. Replace or repair.

From where do you have the problem? In or Out from what to where?

PLugged ports. Needs cleaning.

Prime is the action whereby the water is sucked up from the reservoir (water supply) into the heating compartment.
