Why is my Keurig Classic constantly turning off while brewing?

Why is my Keurig Classic constantly turning off while brewing?

I put the Keurig brand K cup in, pull down the top, and press the brew button. It works for a split second then the machine turns off and I waste a K Cup. The K Cup just leaks into my cup and I have to remove it and try again because if I try and use the same K Cup it doesn’t taste right! It happens with numerous Keurig branded K Cups including Hot Chocolate, Cafe Caramel, and Cafe Vanilla. It’s been happening at least 3-4 times a week.

Hasn't even been a month & just started cutting off on its own. I noticed while it heats up the water some of it leaks out probably from the pressure. I think the water is leaking inside of the Keurig & tripping some sensor or something causing it to cut off. I unplugged it took it to the sink & turned upside down & shook out all the water. Immediately plugged back in & worked fine. Seems to be a flaw with the Keurig & will probably have to do this on a regular basis. Not sure what model I have but so far this fixed the problem. Will just have to wait for it to happen again & see if draining the water out works a second time. Hope this helps.

It seems to be a problem with the cups. My problem was with Angelinos. Perhaps too much pressure inside the cup.

I had the same issue and tried all the recommended fixes outlined here, but to no avail. Here’s how I resolved the problem and it’s now working perfectly. BTW, my machine is the K-Elite, which has a removable water reservoir.

Remove the water reservoir and insert it back into place. The magnet in the reservoir can become dislodged during brewing from the vibrations in the machine.

Hi Clinty76. I’ve been in field service for many years, and when you see weird problems that others are not typically having, many times it’s something to do with the power source, or static electricity. I’d suggest you verify that your outlet has a good ground; plug in a ground tester that’s inexpensive from a hardware electrical store. Also, try plugging the machine into a small UPS like you’d plug your computer into. If that takes care of the problems, it’s related to the power source. If your air is extremely dry, you can be getting a build up of static electricity, and when you put the machine going, the zap you don’t feel when you touch the machine START Brewing button , could be hitting the machine and shutting it off! MANY weird things happen due to static electricity. Grounding yourself by touching a metal fridge or stove or something else grounded, before you touch the coffee maker could be a trial for a week also. Again, it appears that you are having problems that most other people don’t, and 3rd machine… Time to try troubleshooting your environment! Wishing you well.
