I just fixed my maker. Tried the clean with vinegar thing but that did not work. Took it apart. Meaning I took the base off ( well partway - enough to pull the cover back to get to the guts. ) Discovered a small piece of paper towel stuck in the intake hose right where the small valve is located. I remembered when my sister was visiting she could not find my coffee basket filter and used a paper towel instead. I removed that, put it back together and works great now. It was fun. Try it.
