Top 20 Faberware FSU-236 Coffee Maker Questions & Answers

Hi. Go to reapirshack.com for the part. Good luck. Ron

How long was the machine on without water in it? The thermostat or heating element most likely burned out, so unfortunately you may be stuck with a total loss here :(

the copper "band" is your element. check out nelson small appliance for parts. you may need a new element. one side of your "line" goes to the element, the rest is a circuit in series with the other element lead - switch - thermostat etc.

if the pot is leaking at or thru power indicator light, there is no repair. The spigot is not available. You can look on eBay for used similar urns.

on button again the 2hr is a safety

the water pump may be having an issue.

It is no a cosmetic part and is there for a reason.

depends on how many cups of coffee you want. if you want 22 cups, suggest 1 1/2 cup of coffee.

Some manuals here Any clue? http://www.useandcaremanuals.com/SearchManuals.aspx?SiteID=18

Hi. Just use a half of a cup of bleach. let it siy for 10 minutes then shake it up. It should look like new.

Hi. You have to take the base off, then you will see all the parts you may want to replace. Good luck

There is a thermostat in the bottom of the percolator that is broken. It would normally cut off the percolator heating element after the water reaches a certain temperature but it is broken. It can be replaced but it takes a little skill. There is a video on eBay.

All depends on how you like your coffee, And the size of cups you are using.

The standard is: 64oz. of water and 2oz to 3oz of coffee for 12 cups, That is about 5 to 6oz.of coffee per cup.
If you want a strong cup of coffee use 1.5 gal. of water and 9oz of coffee for 36 cups. If NOT use more water and less coffee.

REMEMBER, Don't let the coffee sit in your coffee brewer for long time.

If you look at the well in the bottom of the percolator where the stem fits, you will probably find it gotten coated with minerals that have built up over long use. This can reduce the percolator's performance. Lime-Away is a cleaning solution available at big-box home improvement places and hardware stores that can help dissolve the buildup. Pour some into the bottom of the percolator and let it sit a while. Then, while wearing gloves, stuff the well with steel wool and work it back and forth to scrub away the buildup. (Use plain steel wool, not a Brillo pad or other brand with soap. The soapy ones are too stiff. I also don't know if the soap and the Lime-Away will play nice together.) Rinse out the percolator and give it a wash, and the well should be much cleaner. You should find it works better. If you can't find Lime-Away you can use white vinegar, but it's not as effective on the built-up scale.

Thanks for using Fixya! If you find this helpful, please take a moment to leave a thoughtful rating.

Hi. It is very importent, that the spring is in place. With out it the stem is like floating around the bottom of the pot, thus not forcing the water up the stem to the spreader. I hope this is the problem. Good luck. Ron

Hi 2 scoops of coffee to 3 cups. Then work it from there, to get it to your taste. It is done when it stops perking. When that happens the keepwarm element takes over until you unplug it. Good luck. Ron
