Display shows “WATER UNDER PRESSURE – REMOVE POD” or similar; brewer refuses to start a new brew.

Safety first: Unplug the brewer and allow it to cool before opening the handle.

• Remove K-Cup: Open the handle and remove any pod. Check for swelling or ruptured pods.
• Clean needles: Use a paper clip to clear the top and bottom needles. Rinse the K-Cup holder thoroughly.
• Check reusable pods: If using a reusable My K-Cup, reduce the amount of coffee and ensure the mesh is not clogged.
• Run water-only cycle: After cleaning, run a water-only brew to confirm normal flow and clear the error.
• Persistent error with good flow: The pressure sensor or control board may be misreading pressure and require professional service.
