The Process to Reset the Keurig (Version 2.0)

- If you have a digital display in your Keurig, start checking the menu so that you can reset any setting that does not seems to be normal. For example, if you face that your brewer is turning off randomly or the Keurig keeps shutting off or the Keurig shuts off when I hit brew, it would be better if you check whether the energy-saving mode and the auto-off features are turned off.
- If you are facing issues with the button, clocks, or the display, you can resolve them by turning off the entire machine. Do not forget to check that the machine plug is unplugged while it is turned off. Then let it rest for a few minutes. If you allow the machine to have some rest, it may remove the glitch that it is facing.
- Sometimes, the Keurig machine may have an air bubble formed in its tubes that may lead to the Keurig not dispersing water or the Keurig frother not working. To fix this problem, turn off the power, unplug the machine, and detach the water reservoir (if it is feasible). Then hold the brewer upside down and hit it gently on the sides. This process would be enough in order to remove all the air bubbles and solve the issues of Keurig not pumping water.
- If Keurig’s descale light won’t turn off, then there might be something that is blocking the water flow. You must find it and fix it properly. But how? In that case, when Keurig slim descale light stays on first you need to turn it off. Then empty the water filter to put descale solution to remove any gunk. After that switch on your machine and put a cup underneath to pour the mixture. Now switch on the brewer and then rinse the water reservoir completely. This is the way how to turn off descale light on Keurig slim.
- If your problem is in the display, that is, if it is blank or it is malfunctioning, all you need to do is to take off the plug and then plug it back again. Once your brewer is turned on, open the menu and set the clock, and adjust the features according to your preferences. Then just raise and lower the brewer lever.
