This was encouraging (and helpful), but mostly because I’d already worked my way up to Step 5 all on my own. It would have been nice to see a picture of the what I’m sure is the miniature impeller pump motor out of its fitting/housing - but I’m 100% certain I can figure that on my own. I’m about 95% sure that my pump motor has begun to experience intermittent failures - and that’s the source of my problem. Any hints on a confirmed source for a compatible replacement motor? Thanks!

Kuerig does not sell replacement water pumps. E-bay sells used ones they say have been tested to be good . Yes they have been tested and pump water but not tested to adequate pressure head to flow water thru the K-cup at rate require for each timer flow setting. Hence where can one purchase a new (K70 or B70) pump?

I disassembled mine because of a leak whenever the reservoir is inserted in the machine. I found that the suction tube to the pump had a very small knick in the plunger seal. My problem is finding the parts to complete the repair. I would like to just replace the suction tube but I’m not sure if that is available separately from the pump. Any leads on where to find those replacement parts?
