Check to be sure that the brewer is plugged in securely.
Plug the brewer into a different outlet.
Reset your home’s circuit breaker if necessary.
Press and hold the Power Button and ensure the Touch Display is illuminated.

BREWER WILL NOT BREW

After placing a pod in the Pod Holder, make sure the Handle is lowered completely and the Touch Display displays the appropriate brew screen. Follow the brewing instructions in SECTION 1 (refer to pages 12 – 13).
If the Touch Display indicates “More Water Please” add water to the Water Reservoir or make sure the Water Reservoir is seated properly in its Base.
If the Touch Display indicates “More Water Please” even after refilling, remove the Water Reservoir and empty the water. Then thoroughly clean (refer to page 27). Fill the Water Reservoir to the MAX FILL line, return it to the brewer and ensure it is seated properly in its Base.
The Pod Holder may need to be cleaned (refer to pages 28 – 29) or the brewer may need to be descaled (refer to pages 36 – 38).
If you have completed the above procedure two times and this situation persists, contact Customer Service at 1.866.901.BREW (2739).

BREWER BREWS ONLY A PARTIAL CUP

The Water Reservoir may have been removed during brewing. Replace the Water Reservoir and perform a cleansing brew (refer to page 11) without a pod.
Descale the brewer (refer to pages 36– 38).
If you have repeated the descale procedure on your brewer two times and it is still only brewing a partial cup, contact Customer Service at 1.866.901.BREW (2739

How do I descale my Keurig without a screen?

With the brewer plugged in and powered off, press and hold the 8oz and 12oz buttons for 3 seconds to enter Descale Mode. When flashing, press the BREW button to start descaling.

How can I find out which Keurig model I have?

Check the side of the brewer behind the water reservoir. Lift the water reservoir away to reveal the serial number, which identifies the model.

What are the brew size options on a Keurig?

Brew sizes include 6, 8, 10, and 12 ounces. Smaller sizes produce stronger coffee, while larger sizes create a milder brew.

How do I delete a favorite on my Keurig?

On the brewer, select the favorite, press and hold the Favorites button, and confirm deletion. You can also delete favorites via the Keurig® app.

Why does my Keurig turn on by itself?

This is likely due to an automated feature being activated. Disabling this setting will stop the automatic brewing. The feature is useful for scheduled brewing at a specific time.

The moon icon indicates the brewer is in Auto Off mode, which can be set for 15 minutes to 2 hours. To disable, use the arrows to turn Auto Off “off,” and the moon icon will disappear.
