Anyone have trouble with this new machine tripping the AFCI breakers? I have a new home, no problems with any other appliances. Googled the issue and its very common problem with Keurig coffee makers. But I didn’t find how to correct the problem. null

We had the same issue, GFCI would trip the breaker especially when brewing a 12oz cup. Solved it by plugging in a surge protector into the GFCI outlet and then plugging the Keurig into the surge protector. No more breakers tripping, at least for us, hope that helps.

Answer

Keurig Elite was tripping the breaker so we exchanged it for a new one. All was good for 3 days then the new one started tripping the breaker. Our circuit breaker panel is in the garage and hard to get to with 2 cars parked there. So I bought a device to plug into the outlet that I thought would trip before the breaker tripped. You know, just so I could reset it without going into the garage. Well after installing it, the breaker hasn’t tripped since. I bought it off of Amazon.

We are having the same issue with K3500 Keurig maker.  It was on an Arc fault breaker so I changed it to a gfi breaker and it still tripped. Try it on another outlet now to see if it still trips.

I have not had this problem at all and we have a slightly older home that occassionally has a breaker trip (mostly in the garage)
