Keurig coffee-maker reset switch

[gfweb]

So today, with guests coming, both of the guest Keurig pod things had no power.

 

Turns out this is a thing.  There's a thermal switch inside that shuts off current at some temp.  Why in both of two unused units...who knows?

 

Anyway you take the cowling off...not easy or designed to be done...I avoided snapping stuff off...and put a paper clip in a little hole and turned it back on.

 

Questions arise.  If a switch is there to be reset...why is it so hard to get-at. Why not mount it externally and call it a reset button? Not very German if you ask me.

Every Keurig I ever had got issues and had to be returned. They finally said it had happened so many times with us that they would not accept another return. I got a Ninja. No problems, but now that it is just me and I only drink about 1 1/2 cups a day, I'm going back to my Melitta pour over and/or French press.

Update

The two units were dead again this morning. They had made coffee last night.

Keurig is dead to me.

This is timely.....my Kuerig (pre 2018) is slowly giving up the ghost. There's a Ninja on sale at Costco and a Keurig.

@Maison Rustique did your Ninja use Kcups? Did you like it?  (I don't function well enough in the morning for anything difficult.  So while I LOVE pour over, I know damned well it won't be happening at 530am.  I had an ex that would make pourover for me in the morning,  was his best quality!)

No, I purposely got one that does not take K-cups. But you can make a single cup or a pot, so it is flexible. K-cups got too expensive for me and are not recyclable, so I didn't want them anymore.
