Does the Keurig stop heating if the reservoir runs dry?

The Keurig K75 stops heating when the water reservoir runs low. A blinking blue light will flash when it's time to add more water. Once more water is added the heating process will restart.

No - I was concerned that I might burn it out but what I do is get the pump flowing and then unplug it and just let it act as a siphon. THat way you dopn't have to worr about letting it run dry. It takes longer but it's better than standing around waiting for it to finish.

Yes it shuts off when the water in the reservoir is gone.I believe 8 oz is the largest you can brew...You can brew up to that size and smaller depends upon how much water you add.

I really do not know.Call Keurig. I am sure that they will be able to tell you.

It shuts off when the reservoir is full, but not when the desired temp is reached. However, it is very quiet, so you don't notice that it runs constantly.

I've found a water under my Keurig only if haven't filled reservoir carefully. As I have dexterity issues that make it difficult to remount the reservoir, I fill it up with a large cup rather than bringing reservoir to sink. If/when water splashes over, it puddles under the machine.

You are not supposed to let the bucket run dry. Not sure what happens if you do. I went out once and there was only an inch or two of water in it but it was cold out. Steam was coming off the water. It's still working fine.

Power head pumps cannot run dry without risking damange to the internal parts of the pump. Without water flow the pump will overheat and eventaully stop working. Water also lubricates and reduces the frition through the pump when in operation. Most pumps will eventually fail if run dry.

I've heated it with very little water on it. It recommends having it full but I have had no issues heating a smaller portion of water. I often don't fill it until it's all out. So many cups later

I have owned one for 6 months and I am having a problem with the water being pumped to the top and dispensing. No matter what cup size dispensing does not occur, yet I can hear the motor continuing to run. I have an e mail in to Keurig since my machine is still under warranty. If they can't resolve my issue one way or the other, I will not purchase a Keurig again.I have descaled twice in the past 6 months, most recently two months ago and that does not solve the problem.

No, only for the burners that the carafes sit on. Once you initialize it, it always has water which it keeps warm 24/7. This allows the unit to make coffee very quickly. If you unplug it, allow about 10 minutes after you plug it back in before making coffee. Pouring water in the top essentially activates the maker.

I find that it stops brewing... Then I would remove the grounds...and maybe occasionally it will kind of sound like it's trying to rebrew but actually is just reheating... I personally think you wouldn't want to leave it plug in all day or it would taste old and burnt... Hope this helps!

Don't buy this one! I've been using mine for about 6 months. Every 6 to 8 weeks or so it stops working and the water doesn't cycle through. I run 3 or more cycles of vinegar and water to try to get rid of hard water deposits because it's the only thing to try. I use filtered water every time from my Bria pitcher that I bought specifically for the Keurig. I use it at home, and there are only 3 of us making coffee.

Some of the tank storage water will evaporate during the week. So the first pot brewed will not be a full one. The following ones will be full. I'd run the first without coffee.

I'm sorry. Mine does that also. It only brews a couple of cups and shuts off completely. I kept turning it back on until it got to be a nuisance. So now I make the coffee in the glass carafe and transfer the fresh coffee into the stainless carafe when it is done. The stainless carafe has a magnetic bottom so the machine "knows" when you are using it. The warming plate doesn't turn on when using the stainless carafe. Seems to be a defect in the design. Maybe someday the manufacturer will figure it out.

The kettle shuts off when it's dry AND when it reaches the boiling point. Hope this helps.

No, mine stays on for the entire brew timt.. you might reset your stay warm feature for at least an hour stay warm time
