Hi, I, assuming you are saying the breaker at the wall. Try another plug in the same area. My email is [email protected] Remember the pot pulls 1000 wts. If the other wall socket works you might want to transfer it over to the one the keeps popping, Good luck. Ron

Hi. you need a thermostst. You perking is turning off to soon, 1 it perks, so the main heating is working, It perked, 2 the keep warm element works because it is keeping the water hot and is making the water hotter. You can get the thermostat from repairshop.com.
It is a very, very easy fit and cheap part. Good luck Ron

Hi, Go to [email protected]

Hi, if you have a China pot toss it. If you have a USA pot, Get ahold of a 1 3/8" socket. Take the base off and you will see a square nut on the bottom of the main heating element, put that in a bench vice and thighen the nut up inside the pot. You will only have to turn it a tiny bit. While you have it apart check if it still leaks, if so thghten a bit more. You will get nowhere without the vice and the socket. .Try to stay away from the keepwarm element ( little white rope looking thing ) Good luck. Ron

You can get a cord fron [email protected] or ron622c on eBay. <To find member>

Your main heating element, fuseable link, or thermostat has failed.

You will need to test each to find out which is problematic. (however your tests will be in vain) - see bottom of this answer)

The design of a percolator uses superheated coffee to rise up the tube and shower the coffee on top.
The 1150Watt element is directly under the tube and looks like this...


If the coffee is not heated - the tube does not fill with coffee - and you will never get the percolating.

If the thermostat is out - the element will not turn on properly to heat the water.

If the fuseable link were bad - the coffee wouldnt heat at all (so this is probably not the failed component)



Unfortunately - There are NO replaceable parts available from the manufacturer for this unit.

Quoted from another website -

I will not purchase another Farberware product.

I have the FSU 236 urn, which has been used only at family gatherings. When last used, it switched to the warming mode prematurely so all we had was an urn full of tepid dark water. Things break, no big deal.

Well, it is a big deal because a replacement thermostat is not available for this unit. I could not get a hit when I googled the part number stamped on the thermostat and Farberware/Applica/Salton indicated it is not a "consumer replaceable item." Odd, since you can get a thermostat, heating element, warming element, and fuse link for older Farberware urns.

Fine customer no service, at least direct me to a repair shop that would have the part and can fix the urn. Nope.

Then please look in your UL file and tell me the approved thermostats. Nope, that information is "not available and cannot be supplied."

I could understand if this model was discontinued, but it is currently being sold new. No more Farberware for me!

On the bright side, at least I have a lovely pot to ... never mind.


Someone has alread done the legwork for you.
All I can suggest is calling the manufacturer yourself to try your luck.

Thanks for using FixYa!!

They make a thousand models. It sounds like the heating element has failed. Generic help and videos in the link but these machines need dealer service at regular intervals depending on the complexity of the particular model. https://www.google.com/search?q=Dolce+Gusto+coffee+Machine+no+hot+water ..

These machines need dealer servicing every 6 to 12 months. They don't tell you that when you buy them. There are some ideas here https://www.google.com/search?q=De+Longhi+Magnifica+warning+triangle ..

Question edited for clarity. These machine need dealer servicing every 6 to 9 months depending on usage. They don't tell you this when you buy them, but I have been fighting these types of machines for the 9 years before I retired. One place had 2 machines and another has 6. Once machine did 1,200 cups a days and was serviced every month. Airport Business Class Lounges. ..

You can replace them but unlikely to repair them. The casing will come apart, with some difficulty. Remove the old switch, source an identical new switch and fit it.
