How do I remove then casing from Keurig K10 manufactured in 2014 water leaks from the bottom

Hey Rudy,

I'm not sure which particular model Keuirg you have, but i was able to find details on the Keurig models that have been recalled. The units that were recalled were the Mini Plus Brewing Systems, with model number K10. The brewers have an identification number starting with "31" printed on the bottom. They were sold online and in stores in the U.S. and Canada between 2009 and 2014.

I have attached a link to the site. I hope this helps.

Contact Keurig via phone or website to confirm but the website says only the K10 right now.

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.

It has an overfill tray to catch water when you put in more than 10 oz. When that tray becomes full it seems like the machine is leaking but the tray is just overflowing. Empty the overfill tray and try not to overfill. Learned this the hard way.

Check to make sure the rubber gasket is still on the water output in the brew head. It goes around the water output needle in the top of the brew head. Without that gasket, there is no seal on the top of the k-cup and water can leak. Run it with no K-cup in it and see of water does not leak this way. If it doesn't leak then it points to a missing seal. Hope this works for you.

It is normal for a Keurig mini to shut itself off after 90 seconds of inactivity. Reference page 17 of the manual.

My Keurig B60 had the same issue. 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.
