I viewed this to replace the pump. But after the checkvalve was replaced through these instructions my K40 works like new. Thank you.
After 4 months of storage, my Keurig didn't operate correctly when I tried using it again. The "add water" blue light, the "heat" red light and the middle "coffee cup" blue light, all x3 lights, blinked together... and the unit was seized up it seamed when I would try using it. After pulling the bottom apart and checking all those tubes, I found this web page, and then put the bottom back together again, and removed the top part to get to the "water pump" [check valve actually], and blew into it; it was completely seized. I blew a short spurt really hard un-siezing it. That's all it took. It was stuck from being in storage, dried out and sealed as it dried out. I put everything back together and I had to run the unit a few times until everything worked as it should. I really enjoyed this thread and everyone's collaboration, as it solved the root of my problem, which I couldn't find resolution anywhere else. Thanks a bunch! Don't forget to click on and read the detailed comments people wrote for each step...
