We cannot get our system to prime with our Keurig brewer? Any ideas how to fix this.

Before connecting it to your Keurig did you try turning it on while connected to a water bottle and see if any water was being pumped? If you cannot get water coming out before it is connected to a brewer, then the unit is defective. Frankly I do not recommend this unit, they seem to have a very high defect/DOA rate. Try the FloJet BW4000 Bottled Water Dispensing System PLUS instead. It is a bit more expensive but it will work and last a long time.

Use the MODE then SEL button to select brew strength (1-3 beans) and time (little clock) you want it to brew. Make sure the current time is correct. Press Auto button until you hear a small beep. It should be ready to go off in the morning. The instructions were not clear on this feature and I just found it by trial and error. Hope it works for you - nothing worse than coming out for a nice cup of coffee and it didn't go off!

I had the same problem with mine. You need to descale it. Follow the instructions here:http://www.keurig.com/customer-service/brewer-registration-and-support/~/media/827CFD40CFB64DC39AE3A45B2C3A5472.ashxI did exactly this and it fixed the problem.

I've been looking at that this morning. It looks like the Keurig models that don't allow you to use the refillable pods are the new machines that are listed as a 2.0 version. 'read that on the Consumer Reports site.

My Jura E8 had the same problem a couple of years ago. Took the machine apart, removed the brew group, and mailed to an eBay seller juracapressodoctor. He rebuilt the unit and sent it back. I installed and no more Error 8. The cost was $75. So far I have consumed 17,450 servings from the E8.

That's weird! Its almost like the machine is permamently in "Cafe" mode. What are you setting the "cup size" to?

My vue500 stopped working suddenly as it would just not power on. I was told by Keurig that if I used 3rd party accessories it would void the warranty, so beware of providing that information. I see in the comments that the needle can get clogged with coffee grounds, but I don't understand how this would prevent the machine from powering on. Anyway, they did send me a new coffee maker, and before I send the old one back I will look to see if the needle is clogged. I hope they can come up with a better adaptor- the k-cups are cheaper! But I do love the metal filter for using my own coffee - works wonderfully well that way! My vue500 stopped working suddenly as it would just not power on.

I've never had this problem. I think you must have a defective brew station.

Try cleaning with vinager, trying running it thru the brewing cycle. If that doesn't work, send it back. I didn't have that problem with mines.

Have the same issue. Gears are stuck and the brewing unit won't go in all the way. I sent mine to Phillips last week for replacement

You need to fully seat the K cup into the adapter before putting the adapter into the machine. but first you will need to clean the brewer to get the grounds out of it or you will keep getting grounds!

Yes,as you know by now,the instructions for this filter are very bad.Some things you need to check for if you cant get your filter to prime.1.make sure your water level is filled just above the top tray2.make sure there are no loops,or kinks in your hoses3.not sure if this makes a diffrence,but I always do it,have your out take water bar (probably not what its called), hope you know what part im talking about,but....i have it submerged in my tank,so when I prime it pulls in water4.once you see water running through the hoses,turn your filter on,the pump it take care of the rest Yes,as you know by now,the instructions for this filter are very bad.Some things you need to check for if you cant get your filter to prime.1.make sure your water level is filled just above the top tray2.make sure there are no loops,or kinks in your hoses3.not sure if this makes a diffrence,but I always do it,have your out take water bar (probably not what its called), hope you know what part im talking about,but....i have it submerged in my tank,so when I prime it pulls in water4.once you see water running through the hoses,turn your filter on,the pump it take... » Read More Yes,as you know by now,the instructions for this filter are very bad.Some things you need to check for if you cant get your filter to prime.1.make sure your water level is filled just above the top tray2.make sure there are no loops,or kinks in your hoses3.not sure if this makes a diffrence,but I always do it,have your out take water bar (probably not what its called), hope you know what part im talking about,but....i have it submerged in my tank,so when I prime it pulls in water4.once you see water running through the hoses,turn your filter on,the pump it take care of the rest « Show Less

Not sure what the problem is! Are you hooked up to a fuel supply that is gravity fed? If not it may need to be primed but not sure.

My Keurig brewer had the same issue with beverage weakness and errant grounds when I used the single cup K-adapter to brew my own coffee. I think it's an inherent issue with these brewers due to the lack of forced air pressure (which you get with store bought K-cups) and not unique to this particular coffee maker. I think it has something to do with the coffee grind and the water-to-coffee ratios. I suggest to stick to using K-cups, pods or the permanent wire basket for smaller servings. Only my 2-cents, which isn't even worth that.

I found a solution! Take a can of compressed air, the kind you use to clean your keyboard, and shoot a few short bursts into the water drain after removing the water reservoir. Do this when the machine is off and the water has cooler. OR, use a small needle to poke around in the top piercing needle for a few seconds then run a cycle without a k-cup. You should get a full cup of hot water with lots of coffee grounds floating around. It's a quirk but this resolution really works!

It probably lost prime. It has been awhile since I used mine It explains prime in directions

I had the same problem. I was told that I needed to descale the keurig which I did. It did improve it slightly but i happened to have purchased my keurig from Costco and they just exchanged it for a new one no questions asked.
