Cuisinart grind and brew--water does not come down

Some products, when refurbished, are almost BETTER than new. Coffeemakers and TV's, unfortunately, do not belong to that group. From what I have seen, refurbished Cusinarts are too expensive - there is usually at least one store that has a new Cuisinart for only $10 more than a refurbished one (although this may take some searching).



Based on your symptoms, I have a couple more ideas:

1) Let about 2 cups of distilled white vinegar sit in the water reservoir for about 20 minutes. Then press the on button - wait about 1 minute, and turn it off. Let the vinegar sit for another 20 minutes. Add 2 cups water. Then try brewing one more time.



2) If that fails, you could actually have a busted hose inside. Since the unit is out of warranty, you could actually open it, see if there is a loose or damaged hose inside (most likely it won't be the original hose, since the unit was refurbished). You could go to a small appliance repair shop (or even Lowe's or Ace Hardware) and find a hose or other materials you need to replace the hose and/or get the loose hose to stay in place. You won't find this specific model #, but there are actually videos on YouTube that show you how to replace a hose.



Good luck!
