    • Push in on one of the arms attached to the K-cup holder plastic housing to remove it from its rails. The arms are identical for both sides so once one side is free repeat the process for the second side.

    • The plastic is flexible and will not snap with the force applied.

    • Once the arms are removed, the configuration should look like the picture. The K-cup holder housing should be separated from the arms.

    • Lift up the top arm assembly to get it out of the way. Once it is out of the way, clear out any obstructions in the drain.

    • Use your finger or a slender object to clean the drain. Avoid pushing material further down the drain as that may cause obstructions deeper in the system.

I wish i would have checked the needle first because that is where mine was clogged...then i wouldn't have had to do all those steps...but the instructions here were very good..thank you...

For me too the problem was that the needle that punctures the pod was clogged. Maybe add to check that first and avoid taking everything apart. Great instructions though.

This helped a lot. I used a large syringe. We used to raise birds & had a variety of sizes. Put the syringe on the tube & pulled several times.Seemed to free any clog at the very bottom. Put back together & it's working now.but I notice sprinkles of water as is heats up now. Just need to figure what could be causing this.

So my keurig was not clogged. BUT. After taking it apart and putting it back together, it works now! #sweetcaffeinatedvictory
