Keurig Repair

Our Keurig is kinda old and it stopped working recently.  It would turn on okay, but right after you press the button to brew, it would turn off.  So I googled and found this:

Common Fixes
  • Clean the needles: Coffee grounds can clog the top or bottom piercing needles, creating dangerous back pressure that trips the machine's safety shut-off. Remove the K-cup holder, unclip the funnel, and use a straightened paperclip to clear out debris from both needle holes and the exit slot. 
  • The "smack" or invert trick: Many users on Reddit report that removing the water reservoir, flipping the machine upside down, and giving the bottom a few firm taps or smacks helps release trapped air, clear internal water bladders, or reset the switch.

I got a needle and poked around in the puka here.  Then I took off the water reservoir and turned the machine upside down and shook it.

And now it works!!!
