Keurig “Keeps pumping water”

WATER COMES OUT DURING PREHEAT
Did you relocate your Keurig?

Occasionally, we like to re-arrange our furniture and/or appliances to a more suitable spot for accessibility. So we decided to move our Keurig to another spot and plug it in another outlet or maybe extension cord. Let’s turn it on and brew some coffee. Uh oh, what the heck, the water keeps coming out during preheat!

DRAIN WATER FROM YOUR APPLIANCES WHEN RELOCATING
What if there’s water inside?

In this case with Keurig non-commercial brewers, the most we can remove is the water reservoir as there may still be water inside the unit. Instead, we move the whole thing with the water reservoir with water in it.

After relocating the Keurig:

Plug in the unit and DO NOT turn it on. It will start Preheating mode and dispense water instead of boiling it. It won’t stop dispensing until there is no water left in the reservoir for it to feed, then turns off.
Let the unit idle for at least 30 minutes, the more the merrier. There is a device inside the unit that opens/closes a valve to allow water flow into the boiler called a Solenoid. The wire coil needs to get energized before it starts to operate. When the unit is unplugged, its energization has been disrupted.
Turn on the Keurig. It will begin to preheat. No water should dispense. But, we may hear a weird sound like its stomach is growling. This is the sound of the Solenoid energizing or starting up after it has been shutdown from service.

The Keurig is on standby mode when its plugged in an outlet rather than off mode. The Solenoid needs continuous uninterrupted power to operate normally. We recommend do not turn on and off the power of the unit to save energy during use as this troubleshooting will always happen, permanently damaging the Solenoid. When we experience an interruption of power such as a city blackout, repeat steps 1-2-3 to happy brewing again.

Keurig “Add more water please”

The common problem we have when unpacking the product and prepping it for first use is the “add more water please” problem. If this is not corrected, your unit will not proceed to the preheating step and may seem to be defective. How to fix the problem:

+ADD MORE WATER PLEASE . . .

Clean and rinse your water reservoir thoroughly with warm or hot water until there is no more new product or packaging odor before use. It’s not needed to use dish washing liquid. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with paper towels or a cloth as its residue may collect inside the pump and damage it over time and is unhealthy when consumed. We do not want that. Now follow these steps:

Plug in the unit and do not touch the display.
Put the water reservoir back in the unit without water.
Press down the water reservoir firmly to secure it in place.
Fill the reservoir with mineral free water to the max line.
Make sure the orange shipping disk is removed.
Turn on the unit via touch-display and follow the steps.
Unit will start to preheat for about 3 minutes.
Dispense hot water from the unit to clean it with a 6+ oz mug.
When the “add more water please” display you are ready to brew.

We recommend using distilled water for all water heating appliances as its mineral free and will not leave white residues that will harm the appliance.

It’s important that you refill the water reservoir after it’s placed in the unit. If there is a good amount of water in the reservoir while you place it in the unit, the valve in the reservoir and the valve in the unit will not properly connect due to water pressure inside the reservoir pushing down on the valve instead of opening it. This is the problem for the “add more water please” display from the unit when the reservoir is max filled with water. Using a carafe or equivalent to hold the dispensed hot water from the unit is more convenient in the cleaning cycle.
