If your Keurig machine is making noise, it could be a part of normal brewer functioning, it could be that your unit is defective, or it has an issue that needs to be fixed. Clicking noises are usually accompanied by brewing issues like the machine brewing partially-full cups or even failing to brew anything at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A noisy Keurig coffee machine can make the brewing process quite frustrating. And even if the noise doesn\u2019t bother you, it could mean that there\u2019s a problem with your brewer that needs to be fixed. Keurig machines make various types of noises including hissing sounds, grinding sounds, and clicking sounds, with the latter being the most common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your Keurig is making clicking noises, it\u2019s highly likely that one or more of the machine\u2019s components isn\u2019t properly attached. Loose canisters and poorly-fitted movable parts tend to produce a clicking sound when the Keurig machine is in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It could also be that the parts are too old and need to be completely replaced. If you\u2019re still getting a clicking sound even with everything properly positioned, your Keurig machine is probably producing \u2018click-clack\u2019 sounds due to old, worn out parts that have served out their time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another reason your coffee machine may produce clicking + vibrating sounds is improper positioning. Placing your Keurig on hard surfaces such as concrete will most likely cause it to produce an annoying sound as you brew. Older Keurig models also use older technology and are more likely to produce clicking noises, unlike newer models which are designed to be quieter while brewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the exit needle\/ puncture needle at the bottom of your K-Cup pod is clogged by debris or coffee grounds, your Keurig may produce clicking sounds and fail to brew. Once the water is heated and the machine is ready to brew, but the exit needle is clogged and fails to properly puncture the exit hole, the machine may fail to brew and you\u2019re likely to hear clicking noises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, if your Keurig is making loud noises when heating, it\u2019s likely that the water line is clogged by coffee grounds and other type of debris. As such, the brewer is forced to use lots of power to draw water from the reservoir, resulting in the loud sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The loud noises from your Keurig machine when heating could also be due to a faulty water pump. This is the water pump that draws water from the water tank to the internal heating reservoir, not the one that injects hot water into the K-Cup pods. If this water pump is broken, your coffee maker won\u2019t function normally, with one sign of this issue being noises that are produced during the heating stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Owners of some Keurig models have also reported this loud, humming sound when heating more often, especially the Keurig B60 and B70\/B77 models. This may be a pointer towards a design defect in these models, with many pointing out that the type of pump they\u2019re using is not powerful enough to force the check valve open and allow for water flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s normal to hear noises coming out of your Keurig, especially if it\u2019s an older model, due to the amount of pressure it takes for the pump too push hot water through the coffee pods. However, you may find any noises that occur after brewing to be a little strange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the clicking sounds coming off your Keurig about two hours after you\u2019re done brewing your last coffee cup may simply imply that the unit is decompressing, not that it\u2019s defective. It automatically does this to get excess air out of its system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the clicking sound (or any other noise coming out your Keurig, for that matter) is not a part of normal machine functioning and is affecting your brewing process, there\u2019s definitely something you can do about that. You can fix your noisy Keurig by descaling it with vinegar to get rid of limescale, unclogging the exit needle using a paper clip, or requesting for a replacement Keurig unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To effectively descale your Keurig brewer, follow the procedure detailed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can use a paper clip to unclog the puncture needle. This allows for effective puncturing and the hot water can then exit the K-Cup pod after passing through the coffee grounds and be dispensed into your mug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you suspect that your Keurig model has a defective water pump, you can reach out to the brand\u2019s customer care team on their social media pages and they\u2019ll get you a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: You may also be able to stop the clicking noise that you hear when your Keurig fails to brew after heating the water by simultaneously pressing and holding down all three of the coffee cup buttons. Though there\u2019s no logical explanation for this fix from Keurig, it seems to have worked for several of the brand\u2019s customers, going by the comments on their social media pages.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If your Keurig machine is making noise, it could be a part of normal brewer functioning, it could be that your unit is defective, or it has an issue that needs to be fixed.
