clogged spigot after flushing with vinegar

Per instructions, after flushing the machine with vinegar, it said to let it sit for awhile then flush with water. I did. The machine took up the water from the reservoir but nothing comes out of the spigot after many tries. You can hear the machine doing something but nothing flows through. You can hear water gurgling inside the machine when moved but I can't get at it. I guess it is clogged from scale thatI loosened up with the vinegar. How do I unclog it?

Answer this question I have this problem too

I have tried to declog my Keurig with white vinegar (mixed w/ a little hot water) twice now and it clogs the lines every single time and I have to take the entire thing apart. You can even see the vinegar clogged up in it.. I don’t understand why everyone says to use vinegar to flush it/clean the lines it just breaks my machine.. I had to buy another brand/self cleaning.

If doing it causes your machine to clog every time you do it, I would recommend doing it more frequently. Reason is, the vinegar is eating away at calcification from your water. This then breaks loose and clogs your machine. Do it more frequently and there will be less to break up, and less chance of clogging the machine. The calcification that does come come loose should be small enough to just pass through, then. Cut the time between cleanings in half or even thirds, and this should prevent this from becoming a recurring problem. Maybe let it sit a little longer too, so that more is dissolved.
