20 Most Recent Bunn Pour-Omatic Coffeemaker, 10 Cup White - Page 2 Questions & Answers

you should be able to go online and locate a bunn service centre in your area, contact them and purchase a 5 hole sprayhead. It will be metal instead of plastic but will work fine.

if it is not adjustable you will need a new thermostat. Any bunn service centre should be able to help you out or if the coffeemaker is older it might be worth your while to buy a new one.

Either the solenoid (water inlet valve) is bad or the switch.

when you hit brew button chek for voltage across the solenoid .If voltage is present then replace the solenoid

Most likely you have a clog in the filter container. Use a toothpick to clean the small spout at the bottom. Then hot soapy water. Hopes this helps.

Make a 1/2 pot 50/50 mixture of cold water and white vinegar then run it through the machine in normal brewing fashion. Place a clean filter in the brewing cup to catch the white deposits that are removed. Allow the mixture to cool, then repeat the process several times while using the same filter. Finally, run several pots of fresh water through to work out the taste of the vinegar. Repeat whenever the brewing time seems to be excessive.

The first suggestion is de-calcify as the heating element is probably coated. The following should explain what I mean.

Most likely you have calcium flake deposits clogging the orifice/jet/valve, that restricts the flow of water until heated properly. As the water starts to flow the flakes collect and block the water flow. Periodic cleaning will cure this and prevent damage to the, orifices, jets,valves and heating elements of your machine ( as calcium builds up it tends to insulate the heating element thus requiring more energy/heat to complete the task). Eventually the heating element will over heat and burn out. Periodic cleaning extends the life of the machine plus the added bonus of a better tasting " Cup of JOE".
Most any cleaning preparation designated for a "Mr. Coffee " type machine will do the job. If you want a home remedy 3-4 tablespoons of white distilled vinegar per cup of water ( calculate for the size of your water reservoir ). But please do it outside on the patio, as the vinegar tends to be in competition with the air freshener, and will win.

The VPR has both a thermostat and a "Limit Thermostat". The limit thermostat is located on the top of the tank and has 4 wires connected to it. It is a small round (usually whitish) disc. After time the get old and don't stay connected (fall apart or fail). It could be the problem and is less expensive than swapping the thermostat first. (You would want to replace it anyway if it is "older")
Hope this helps.
