At 11:00 - Those aren't temperature sensors... Those are water level sensors so the machine knows when it's filled the tank to a specific number of ounces.
This was fun to watch because yesterday I did the same thing. I was trying to figure out why when I turned the machine on it started pumping water, about 16 ounces. It worked well for 2 years or more then lost it's mind. I wen through all the 'de-scaling and minor un-plugging' instructions' - This bad boy is really complicated. I was looking for a 'fried' resistor or whatever, to see about the malfunction. I completely disassembled the machine and found nothing. I have a great collection of screws, clips and washers. I would really like to see the German factory and watch the assembly process. It can't be done with robotics, it is hand assembled. It took me over an hour to get it apart. I just bought a Hamilton Beach machine that makes a pot or a 'K' cup - It is a lot less complicated - We shall see. I wonder if I can take apart a BMW or Mercedes next??
I kinda felt the same way. After disassembling mine to try to trouble shoot I realized why after all this time they are still not cheap. I think I'll go back to a regular coffee maker.
Our 1st model Keurig (2 cup sz settings) has lasted a long time. I only use filtered water. It has been economical because we use the "refillable" cups which we ordered from Amazon - (now our coffee cost 25 Cents per cup). I was curious about the K machine insides; but would not do this myself. Occasionally I clean the top front with twisted paper towels and wooden coffee stirs; I also run 2 cups of vinegar & water through from the water well. Then a couple wells of clear filtered water. If you don't have a water-filter you could use distilled water (better for you actually). The cfiltered water helps from getting inside the hoses and grommets gummed up with lime and/or mold.
Found you guys about 6 months ago, and since have been willing to have a go at fixing things Instead of rushing out to buy a replacement. What's the worst that could happen I break it more😆. I've got a cordless drill in pieces at the moment and just fixed the pressure switch on my document shredder. I would like to see more videos like this with more household items and electric tools, hint, hint.
Wow. I have one and it is worth every penny. I've had it for over 5 years now. My K cups average about 35 cent a cup. My Keurig is not going into any land fill anytime soon. Time for coffee.
Did anyone notice when he took the kcup holder out @ 1:25, the snapping sound.. they broke the plastic retaining clip, and you can also tell by his reaction when he stops... and then 1:30 he goes to feel/ inspect them as she mentions something about parts breaking.. they don't explicitly acknowledge it tho..@ 2:01 he then looks at the cup holder to see how it could have come off without breaking.... BTW the cup holder pin only needs to be removed so you don't break the plastic retaining clips as they failed to mention. The Handle that is removed @ 4:28 requires a T10, which they also failed to mention.
Hint: Use snack bags to put screws and parts from subassemblies to make the re assembly process easy and also prevent losing screws and pieces or getting them mixed up.
Agreed. I could do it much faster with a hammer and it would be about as meaningful. If these two are trying to teach people to get a tech degree they need to go to school themselves on how to REPAIR (not destroy) stuff
Well it's Keurig, they wish they could apply a EULA to Hardware alone. They just make it massively annoying for user to use or access in anyway outside of their intentions.
These people have no clue what their doing by cutting the wire on the bottom plate, a home user would never do this nor have all the tools!!! Who would pay these people for anything? So sad!!!
What would be nice is a series of photo's that show where each component goes and it's orientation after the lower casing is removed, but there's absolutely no useful photos, parts diagrams or an illustrated step by step written disassembly guide for a Keurig K40 (or for that matter any other model Keurig coffee maker) on your website.
I 100% agree. I always take a series of pics while I'm dismantling just about anything, especially when it's this or near this complicated. I would have started with the bottom cover and used a flashlight to look inside to see how the case is held together. The inside is jammed full of wires and tubing but if you saw at least one of the clips this could have been done in a manner where reassembly was possible. The rest would have just flowed from there. Don't get me wrong it's not easy, but it would have been easier and not destroyed. These things are made to be non-serviceable even though they can be repaired. It is an E-waste mess and shame on the manufacturer for designing it this way.
Help! Our Ninja CE200 coffeemaker needs its display board contacts and “zebra” (if it has one) simply cleaned because some crystals aren’t lighting up. I’ve gotten the bottom of the coffee maker off and such, but cannot figure how to get the module out that holds the circuit boards and display. The display escutcheon is holding the module tightly to the body of the appliance. Otherwise it looks like the module should slide out so I can get at the row (s) of contacts at the opposite end of the module and wipe them with DeOxit or alcohol. There are multiple videos of Keurig machine disassembly/fixes, but no complete tear downs of the popular Ninja CE200.
waste of material when disposed yes, but what is honestly probably worse is the plastic cup that is made, shipped, and tossed out with each cup of coffee brewed by these trash generating monstrosities. Never have understood the appeal of a overly complicated coffeemaker like this and I guess I never will(tastes the same if not worse than normal cheap coffeemaker brewed coffee), my mom loves hers though and I am currently in the process of figuring out why it has a problem and fixing it... If I wasn't doing it for her it would more than likely be in the dump despite being a hopefully easy fix...
Yes and Keurig has been criticized for this since they first started selling them. The guy that invented the K-cup agrees and fought to introduce a compostable K-cup since the beginning and Keurig still isn't there.
Was it just me, or was anybody else fast forwarding through this thinking what a couple bumbling fools, I know I’m not the only one?!?! I mean who the hell cannot take something apart, let’s see them put it back together
Yes it was, even as an instructive tool. I learned a few things but nothing I wouldn't have learned by simply doing it on my own. It is nice to know about the clips that hold the outer casing on so there's that. Now I know I can remove the casing without completely tearing it apart.
don't bother, just buy six coffee makers and throw each away after using for about two months. Two months is usually all i get out of a keurig, and they charge two hundred dollars to replace them after the sixty day warranty expires. They are garbage, but they are the only manufacturer. Since they have a monopoly they can produce garbage that won't work, even when brand new.
The Keurig is nothing more than an EXPENSIVE GIMMICK. Basically driving heated water over some coffee grounds in a little cup. And so you will just keep on buying expensive little cups to make one mug size coffee. SAVE YOU MONEY GET A CHEAP FILTERED MR. COFFEE MAKER. Or like me, I just buy a huge TASTERS CHOICE instant coffee and add with creamer flavors. In the end you will realize you waisted a whole lot of money on the ridiculously priced Kerurg
