They are one of the most popular coffee makers today, and people who own Keurig Coffee Makers love them. With sleek looks, single-cup, and coffee on-demand trademarks, there is a reason they find a place in so many beautiful homes. That popularity and love, however, doesn’t mean that Keurig owners won’t run into issues. These are still coffee makers and still machines, after all. That also means servicing, caring for, or even needing to fix Keurig coffee maker from time to time.

The Keurig B60 Not Ready display message means your Keurig must be fixed before it can operate again. Causes for this message can range from heavy use to power surges, but there are a couple of potential fixes. One of those is a basic repower slash reboot option, and the other is an advanced reset option.

The Keurig B60 display screen, like on all the modern Keurig models with display screens, is a great help to users. It informs users of when the maker is ready to brew when it is brewing when it is finished, and of course, when there is a problem.

When that Not Ready message doesn’t go away, that qualifies as a problem, regardless of the reason. In many cases, a basic reboot or an advanced reset process will resolve the issue. Here is a look at the two most common fixes for the Keurig B60 Not Ready message.

Basic Reboot Process to Fix Keurig B60 Not Ready Message

When a brew cycle is interrupted, the Keurig b60 will stop running. To restart the brew cycle simply opening and closing the K-cup holder works to fix the problem, and restarts and automatically continues the brew cycle. These are the types of problems we hope for, but when that message doesn’t flip from Not Ready to Ready, action is required.

These are the steps required to do a basic reboot on a Keurig B60 to clear that aggravating Not Ready display.

Repower – The Easiest Solution

Step 1: Turn Off The Coffee Maker

Turn the coffee maker off using the power button above the display panel. If the coffee maker won’t turn off then proceed to step two.

Step 2: Unplug The Coffee Maker

Remove the power cord of the B60 from the outlet.

Step 3: Allow Time To Reset

After unplugging the machine, allow the coffee maker to sit for at least five minutes to reset.

Step 4: Power Up And Run Brew Cycle

Now, plug the coffee maker back in and wait for display. If the display reads Ready, then attempt to run a brew cycle.

This is the most simple fix for the Keurig B60 Not Ready message, but if your trusted coffee maker still isn’t working, then a basic reset option should be tried next.

The Keurig B60 Basic Reset

These are the steps to walk you through the basic reset process for the Keurig B60 if the repower process didn’t resolve the Not Ready display message issue.

Here is how to apply the advanced reset techniques for the Keurig B60 and hopefully restore the display panel and Ready message.

Advanced Reset Techniques for the Keurig B60

When the first two fixes don’t work, this step is the last resort before your final options. This step is also used to reset the B60s internal computer system. If done correctly, this process should resolve any fixable issues.

While this is a considerably more complex set of instructions, taking your time and reading the steps thoroughly will help. Here are the steps for the advanced reset techniques for the B60.

Step 1: Ensure That Coffee Pot Is Plugged In And Turned On

Before beginning the reset process, make sure the coffee maker is plugged in and turned on. Verify that the display is illuminated, and you can read the Not Ready message. (If the display isn’t illuminated or working read further down about how to address that issue).

Step 2: Access Menu Options

Press the mug buttons designated as small and medium at the same time, then release simultaneously. Next, press the button designated as “menu” three times (be certain to do these steps in succession without any prolonged intervals between steps). The clock should now display, “6:09”.

Step 3: Finish Reset Programming

Press “menu” one more time. The display readout should now reflect the message “brew 0:00”. Proceed by pressing and holding the medium mug button while pressing the “menu” button again. Continue pressing the medium mug button then press the small mug button, now release both buttons simultaneously.

Step 4: Complete Reset Process

The last step of the reset process (that’s right, you made it!) is to unplug the coffee maker. Leave it unplugged for at least five minutes before replugging the machine back in.

What If These Fixes Don’t Work?

One remaining grasp at a straw might be to seek out help from someone who might be an appliance or electronics repair expert. No, we aren’t sure if this is something that exists per se for coffee makers or not, but there is only one option left after this.
