Oops — Keurig K-Supreme Oops Message — generic brew fault

K-Supreme, K-Supreme Plus, and K-Elite touchscreen models display 'Oops! Tap here for help.' when any of several faults occur — typically a clog, air lock, or interrupted flow. Tapping shows generic troubleshooting; the underlying cause is usually scale or a needle clog.
