Nespresso Pixie Wouldn’t Pump Water/Airlocked - different trick 

OMG. Thanks girl! I can’t tell you how happy I am now. I made my very first cup of coffee with my Nespresso Pixie at 2AM haha. I spent hours and hours trying every single fix, trick, etc. on RU-vid. Boiling water, tank in and off, air bag in tank, handle pump with a pod, water bag in tank, Saran Wrap and blowing in air with a straw through hole in Saran Wrap, running machine on its side, a few thumps. Sometimes combined hacks… nothing worked. I had literally mentally given up already, then decided to search one FINAL fix, if there was one. Found your video. It worked in less than a minute! I only had a plastic straw. Blew and sucked the water inlet with the tank off. Then put the tank on and using the straw again, positioned the straw over the water hole, and blew with the machine running. Immediately water came out the spout. Soooo happy.

This is my second Keurig Coffee Brewer. ru-vid.comUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first one lasted 6 years. It worked beautifully until the day it didn't. It was hard to go back to the drip coffee for a couple of days while I waited on my Keurig to get here. There is a huge difference in the taste. Keurig makes a really good cup of coffee. This new one is a little different from my old one. I find putting the water filter in was easier than on the old one. Attaching the water reservoir was also a little different but once I figured it out, it too was easier. This new one has the auto off feature but is not programmable like the old one. Only three cup sizes instead of four. The odd thing for me was how much lighter in weight this one is compared to my old one. More plastic and much less metal in the construction of this one. The price is so much less than the original Keurig that I bought and the coffee tastes the same so all in all I am satisfied.

OMG thank you, I have the same ploblem!

This just worked for my buzzing Nespresso👍🏻

Thank you! It really worked! ❤

Thank you!!!!

Finally!! I spent hours trying every other trick including some pretty exotic ones. Sucked and jetted water at the valve for 15 seconds and the water started flowing. Thanks for saving my 10 year old machine!

Thank you!

Thx a lot.

I tried this and it didn't work. I called support which ran me through some steps and when that didn't work they said to let it sit for an hour and call back. After an hour it wasn't fixed so I tried some other video of partially sitting the water canister on and that didn't work. One person in comments said he put water in the base where it gets sucked up and pushed it in with his hand, I used a baster bulb and that still didn't work. I tried the straw method one more time and I must have hit the sweet spot because it worked! Thank you. The water looked like it came through a charcoal filter so I descaled and then brewed an espresso. I'm so happy now.

HELP ME I DON’T UNDERSTAND 😭😭♥️

I used a plastic straw, diameter 8 mm. Worked on the first try. Thanks a lot 🙂

This worked for me!!! Thank you!!!

Thanks for this. Tried the bag, a tube on the base and another one. I used a poly tube as the straw and it worked first time. Great thinking!

Life saver! Thank you for helping everyone of us out!

thank you! I tried everything else, nothing else worked.

So helpful thank you

Hadn't used the Pixie in quite a while, surprised to notice it wouldn't pump out water. Initial reaction was to chuck it;; but after a few weeks decided to see if I could find a solution on RU-vid. URIKA! It works again. The plastic bag trick worked to break airlock but like the metal straw trick as well. Thanks guys.

Tried everything else on RU-vid and nothing worked. Used on of those reusable rubber straws and it worked like a champ. Thank you so much!

🤦 you guys taking the tank off just makes more air bubbles

THANK YOU!!!!! This worked for me after trying 10000 different things.

Hi thank you for your video .I've been trying to fix mine and tried all the other on RU-vid and they never worked .then I saw yours and it worked first time .thanks . enjoying my coffee after five hours trying .😂😂

Oh thank you!!! This is the only thing that worked for me!!! Life saver !

Thanks

thanks a lot 🤩🤩🤩 i also tried all tricks and you let me have a peace of mind haha

😳 omg……🤩😱😱😱😱😱😱it worked it worked right away……..lot of bubbles came out and then water came..thank you so much for helping 🙏❤️

Si Funciono !!!

Thanks, that worked for me too 😁

So I tried this right, except I used whatever I had which was a glass straw more or less which had a slight bend where I’d soon put my mouth on to blow. I set the straw down the reservoir tank with about a bit less than a half a tank of water in it and I started to blow with a regular breath’s work of pressure. Nothing. Then, I removed the tank and sucked up some water from the hole. I then put the reservoir back on and tried again. Nothing. I repeated the initial step and sucked some more water out (which really wasn’t too much on both occasions) and put the reservoir back on and tried blowing again and THEN the machine started to make a STRANGE NOISE when I set it to pour ! 😫 -I tried the blow method again, because at this point if its broke its broke, and it did the same STRANGE noise when I set it to pour! I thought to myself (and please take no offense) as it was still making the strange sound, that this DANG GIRL made it worse, and now the machine is completely shot! As I turned my head and looked away, it stayed on and actually BEGAN TO POUR as I heard the bubbles like gulp up‼️🤯🥳 Oh no, I had spoken too soon! THANK YOU SO SOOOOO MUCH! I should have never have doubted! For those interested, I have a Nespresso Lattisisma that I just inherited and oh boy was this thing either not in use for a while or severely backed up or something. The machine appeared brand new and wouldn’t believe that it was a dud! I’m going to start a descale next, already ordered about 10 coffee pods to try! This is coming from a Breville user so I am used to actually grinding my coffee myself and actually manually making the espresso but I’ve always fancied the speed and convenience of one of these and secretly always wanted one lol I almost gave it away due to space but I made some room for it on my counter 💪😉 If anyone has some tips on how to descale this thing let me know. I used citric acid for my Breville reservoir and it worked like a charm. Thanks again!!

It did work perfectly 👍👍👍👍👍😂 thanks you've saved my life

thank you ! this worked effortlessly with a plastic straw filled with water and blew. I tried the ziplock bag method, plastic bag, and laying the machine on its back overnight. The straw did the trick it may have been airlocked !

wow, that worked! thanks!

It worked! I went through the same path. Tried the zip lock bag, then the other straw video and neither worked. I used a metal straw from my daughter's lunch kit. Thank you!

La máquina volvió a funcionar

AMAZING! I worked on this for hours with different methods and made a big mess - bag with air, bag with water, syringe, lift a ton of times with hot water and THEN I saw your video. Used a thick plastic straw with very hot water. Blew hard, saw the big bubbles and BOOM, it worked. Thank you so much! I was about to give up!

did it work for anyone who started the machine w empty water tank?

Thank you! This worked! I tried the other methods of taking the tank in and out, or putting it back in very slowly but didn’t work. This worked with a metal straw. You basically keep a lot of water in your mouth and the straw, and blow it into the opening. You basically force the water in to get the pump going again. Thanks again

thank you...its ok

it worked from the first try thank you so much 😊

Thank you !

That worked!!! Put a big metal straw in it, blew through it and bubbles and some junk came out of it. Thanks a bunch!!!

The reason it worked is because you kept running it like Nespresso advises in the manual on their website…

It worked thaaaaank u

Boom! It worked! Nice job!

It worked :) thank you!

I don't have a straw :(

This trick doesn't works. To solve it, only what you need is, put the machine upside down, if is necessary, with the water of the sink, when the machine is upside down, wash the output pipe machine. your welcome.

It worked thanks!!! happy coffee now! All others failed.

Next time, pour water into this hole, then put the jar. It should work. No air, no air lock KHABY LAME is on the way
