Water is not heating

Here ya go

mcdevito75 here, Make sure everything is set to make coffee, New or clean filter, filter basket set in machine. Your coffee maker might need cleaning also.------------ Fill resovoir with white vinegar, let it run thru the machine 3 times, half way thru ther 3rd time stop machine and let stand for 30 minutes. resume brewing, then fill resovoir with water and let run thru machine 2--3 times to get rid of vinegar. If this don"t help you may need new coffee maker.

Am unable to locate a replacement switch I will trash this 1 1/2 year old coffee maker and buy a new one. IT WILL NOT BE A MR COFFEE one.

2 years old I would pitch and buy a new one.

Cleaning generally won't help a machine that does not work.
Heating element has probably burned out.
(I am not talking about the heating pad for the carafe!)

For future reference for all the coffee drinkers out there:
Simple quick way to clean a drip coffee maker is use Vinegar.
Let it brew through the system as you would water.
Discard and run fresh water through the system to clear out the vinegar residue left behind. (Make SURE the system has cooled first before running the fresh water through!)

For those that have hard water and the coffee tastes funny.
Try a small pinch of salt in the filter basket ON top of the coffee grounds. This will soften the water and hopefully take the bitter taste away.

Guess it is possible large enough calcium deposits could block the hole in the holding tank to prevent the water from percolating to the filter basket. You may wish to check this before tossing. Last minute thought before pushing the post button.

Good luck!

I HAD A COFFEE MAKER DO THIS AND I TRYED TO GET PARTS FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY WANTED ME TO SEND IT BACK TO THE FOR REPAIRS THEY DON'T WANT THE LIABILITY OF SOME ONE GETTING HURT . BY THE TIME I SHIP THE THING AND PAY FOR PARTS AND LABOR I CAN BUY TWO NEW COFFEE MAKERS. YOU MAKE THE CALL

This is still under warranty, I would return for a new one. You could also call number in manual, they will probably replace it.

run 2 cups of vinegar through the coffee pot brew it do it twice. this will clean the calcium out. then rince out out and brew one batch of water to clean.

if machine work fine led screen is going it a maner of time before you see nothing cheers

It is probily the thermal switch between hot wire and element. Check to see if you are getting power through this switch.

I despise the TFTX85!!! It will overflow, it will stop working! It will never tell you the correct time! It is evil in a coffeemaker. Check out our problems with this piece of junk at pisymphony.com ( opinions)
