Why Is My Keurig Slim Not Pumping Water?

Clogged Filter And Water Line

Lime scale is one of the causes that can lead to the clogging of an hour filter or water line and the reason for this is some mineral buildup that is inside your coffee makers will create a hard and chalky substance that will lead to the limescale. 

The like scale can happen when the water line and filter have been used for a very long time without descaling and it can create debris that will prevent your Keurig Slim from pumping water. Let’s look at how to fix it.

• Remove the filter, and use a long magnetic screwdriver to undo the three screws that are holding the filter. 
• When you are done opening it, you should remove the screen filter and soak it for about 45 minutes in soapy water or vinegar to wash it later. 
• Once the 45 minutes are up and you notice that the debris is remaining in the filter, then clean it manually with a toothbrush. You can also make use of irrigation or water to clean it too.
• When you are done, use clean water to rinse it to unclog any debris from it.
• Place the filter back and screw up the three screws back in position.

If you just recently cleaned your Keurig Slim machine and you start noticing this, then there is a quick solution for you.
