20 Most Recent Bunn (VPRBUNN) 12-Cup Coffee Maker Questions & Answers

if scale is the problem you can take out tank and clean it with muratic acid or if it isnt to bad you could mix up citric acid and run a few pots through.

I would try it once while watching it after it has dried for a few days it should be fine

You can also get a product that is safe and works good at local restaurant supply made for espresso machines

Your sprayhead and steel tube which connects to the sprayhead from the tank may have a lime build up. Simply remove the sprayhead and clean it with a wire brush and make sure the holes are clear of any lime or debris. In order to clean the tube which is what the sprayhead screws onto you will need a deliming spring. www.midstatebeverage.com

The best way to clean a machine like this out is to actually run a full empty brew of a half water half vinegar solution. This will completely clean out the lines inside the machine and freshen everything up quite a bit. After you run the full empty brew of the solution make sure you run at least 2, maybe 3 full brews of just water on the unit. This will ensure that all vinegar is flushed out of the system, and will help clean it as well. Of course the vinegar won't hurt you if it isn't flushed all the way out, just makes it taste quite funky. But 2 flushes with plain water is almost always enough to completely clean it.

Of course when I say an empty brew, don't put any grounds or coffee filter in the machine, just run the water and vinegar through the machine as if you are brewing a full put of coffee.

Water coming out of sprayhead should be hot, either the main switch in back is off for the element, or the hi-limit switch is damaged or if there is an in-line fuse on the element it might be damaged.

Hello this coffee maker has a one and a half gallon internal tank, could be one of a few problems, first thing to check is the spray head, unscrew this you may need some channel locks to get it off and check it..use a tooth pick to clear the 6 holes with any lime that may have formed...also if you use a commercial coffee company for your coffee they should have supplied you with a spring to clean the spray head tube. After checking these 2 items the next thing to check is there enough water in the tank..when the vpr is left on and not used for a few days the water in the tank evaporates..it takes approx two and a half pots of water to fill up the internal tank...try pouring another pot of water in...also turn machine off and take the 2 screws out of the top and see if there is lime blocking the drain hole in the fill pan. Hope this helps...please feel free to comment again if you have any other questions...Good Luck!!! Mike

Somewhere inside you should find a small rotary thermostat. Also make sure the heating element is completely clean by using a quality descaler like CLR. A lot of people use white vinegar but it is not that effective on coffee makers. Make sure the heating element under the carafe is working, because that is heating up as the coffee is brewing. ..

Question edited for clarity and toss in a load of CAPS. It is dated with a non intuitive, none readable code. You can see examples here. Where is my Date Code? BACK OF BREWER Sticker on the lower back of brewer BOTTOM OF BREWER Sticker attached to the bottom baseplate of your brewer. Note: Allow water in tank to cool. Drain water before turning over.

Where is my Date Code? - BUNN

More here https://www.google.com/search?q=Bunn-o-Matic+HB+coffee+maker+read+the+date+code ..

unplug machine and turn upside down and pour out coffee and water mix (if water was in reservoir) If necessary turn over and fill will water and repeat.

Replace and run a pot of clean water thru it.

To locate the date code on your BUNN BT Velocity brewer, you can try the following:

1. Check the bottom or back of the brewer: Look for a label or sticker on the bottom or back of the machine. The date code is typically printed on this label.
2. Inspect the sides or inside the brewer: In some cases, the date code may be located on the sides or inside the brewer. You may need to remove any panels or covers to access the label or sticker.
3. Consult the user manual: If you have the user manual for your BUNN BT Velocity brewer, it may provide information on where to find the date code. Refer to the manual for specific instructions or contact BUNN customer support for assistance.

If you are still unable to locate the date code on your brewer, I recommend reaching out to BUNN customer support directly. They will be able to provide you with accurate information and guide you in finding the date code on your specific model of the BT Velocity brewer.

Normally that would be an easy fix if the water just continued to flow. You just replace the water inlet valve and they can stick open or partially open. But you say if you power off, the flow stops. That sounds like the control board is supplying residual power to it. Control boards are expensive so I would call for service. Or you can try some of the fixes here. https://www.google.com/search?q=bunn+coffee+maker+cwtf15+replacement+water+inlet+valve More here https://www.google.com/search?q=bunn+coffee+maker+cwtf15+water+not+shutting+off ..

Not sure your model name is correct and we always need numerical model names here. Bunn are such a well known name in coffee machines, I find it disappointing that they say ANY machine is not repairable.
