Keurig K70: Keurig shuts off right after I press brew, and the menu option is dead

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 09:11:07 -0700

OK OK I bought it at a thrift store BUT it is really clean, someone took care of it. I would feel great if I can resurrect this baby before surrrendering it to electronic waste.

Keurig K70: Why will my coffee maker only brew about 2 ounces of coffee?

Thu, 11 Apr 2024 14:06:51 -0700

About 4-6 months after buying the K70 Keurig, the coffee maker will only brew about 2 ounces of coffee, even using the largest cup option. The coffee maker has been cleaned several times & nothing seems to help. I just quit using it for a long time, but I got it out again recently & tried it. No luck! What are my options. It was kind of expensive to just throw it away after using if for such a short time.

Keurig K70: Why is my Keurig leaking ALL the water out of the reservoir?

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 10:18:11 -0700

Recently, my keurig is only brewing drips of water then stops. I tried everything: descaling, cleaning out the needles with a paperclip, slapping it on the bottom, etc., but it still only brews drips of water. I only have been using it for hot water for tea. I slapped it a few times and it started working again, for a while. Now I have a new problem. I put the water in the reservoir, turned it on and selected the cup size and it brewed fine. I left it on, with the handle up where is says "not ready", when back about 10 minutes later and ALL the water was out of the reservoir and all over the counter and floor. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

K70 - When plugged in unit shows, “Auto set & Breew set”. The blue light back drop never comes on. Can not operate menu or other buttons/controls. What needs to be repaired? Unit is responding to electricity, displaying, (Auto Set & Brew Set).

Keurig K70: How do I correct the slow/low water pressure in the device?

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 05:48:41 -0700

I had a problem that started with my Keurig K70 about a week ago. It was working just fine, made coffee as usual, and whenever the drip started slowing down, we would just clean the cup liner, and things would be back to normal. Now, even with the extra cleaning, the water pressure almost slows to a drip when making coffee. Without a K-Cup inside, the water runs okay, but it also sometimes starts slowing to a drip. What do I need to get to inside the machine to clean or replace so that it goes back to normal?

Keurig K70: Why does my Keurig stop at the "heating please wait" message? Mo K155

Mon, 28 Oct 2024 07:29:12 -0700

I actually have a Keurig K155 but it is not listed and the Keurig K70 seems the closest looking model. My screen says “Heating please wait…” and never goes beyond that. When I turn on the unit the pump can be heard pumping water from the main reservoir confirmed by visually seeing the water drop. Then up pops the “heating please wait” message and it does nothing else. If I turn it off and back on (now that the initial water has pumped into the system) there is a click sound heard from with in as the “Heating please wait…” message comes back on the screen. Its like the water is never heating up in the first place as I hear no boiling sound and the side of the unit bears no warmth.

Thank you for your comment. I did previously clean it but the issue is: following its pumping water from the reservoir which does so for about 40 seconds (reservoir water level visibly drops) after I had completely drained the system with hoses in the back it goes into “heating please wait” mode and never tries to pump the hot water out. Its like the water is never heating up in the first place as I hear no boiling sound and the side of the unit bears no warmth. Any other ideas?

Keurig K70: water keeps running after brewing

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 20:02:41 -0700

Over the past few days the brewer has started flowing water as soon as it's turned on. If I turn it off and on again it sounds like its brewing, I insert a K-cup, hit the cup size, and it starts brewing and doesn't stop until the reservoir is empty ???

I'm trying to find out if I'm missing a water tube on my Keurig K70. It will not take any water from the reservoir & I'm not sure if there may have been a hose attached at one point. It's makes a brewing sound but no water is moving at all.

Keurig K70: it only brews short cups

Wed, 05 Apr 2017 04:32:50 -0700

My kuerig is only brewing partial cups, not even half. It was given to me by a friend whom got a new one.... I have descaled it, I have cleaned the needles, I have checked the reservoir and all seems to be good.

But when it brews there is drips of water coming out of the over flow and it stops brewing, but when I cover the white soft plastic it will begin to fill the cup again.

I am stumped
