Keurig shuts off right after I press brew, and the menu option is dead

I was able to brew a cup while the reservoir was completely empty; refilled the reservoir during the brew process. Kuerig would turn off when pressing the brew button to brew my second cup; problem persisted. Read somewhere that air can get into the pump and other parts of the system when the reservoir is allow to become empty. Solution was to remove the reservoir take kuerig to the sink and shake vigorously upside down. That solved my problem.

You have to make sure the kcup pierces through the needle at the bottom of the machine. Some cups i had to prepare a hole then line up with needle when I placed the kcup in the machine.

I read somewhere else if you remove the water container, clean it and then replace it and refill it that it will reconnect a magnetic in the bottom that loosens with the vibrations of the machine. Tried it and it worked so I would try this first

I had that problem with my Select model and found that cleaning the needles with a paper clip solved the problem. I think that the backed up pressure from the clog turns the machine off.

"I cleaned both needles -unplugged and plugged it back in. Reset and cleaned the water intake. Tried with no pod inside

Still kept shutting off right after I selected my choice.

I pushed the handle down more firmly and it “fixed” the issue. Ran it without a pod then brewed 2 cups successfully"
