Actually, vinegar is used as a descaling solution to remove the buildup of mineral deposits inside the brewing apparatus. If you have not regularly descaled your machine (once every 6 months or so), it may have built up enough so that when the descaling solution loosened it up, it clogged the tubes leading from the boiler to the filter. I am sorry to say you may need to disassemble the machine and soak the components. Or get a new machine.
You should consider a descaler/cleaner that is specifically designed for the job. Try CleanCaf.

If you do not know how to disassemble your coffee maker in order to clean the buildup out of it, then you are pretty much screwed. What kind of machine is it? I have parts for a lot of different models, including the heating elements. Feel free to pm me.
