Switch turned on but no perculation. - Coffee Makers & Espresso Machines

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.

I ordered from ABTECPARTS US . Lid and knob $4.99; Shipping $5.99 for my West Bend Perculator,

A rumbling more than a vibration? If one in the same, the heating elements may have calcium build up which causes perculation like the perculator coffee pot which causes the heater to vibrate or rumble. If the elements can be removed they can be cleaned by soaking in lime away or a descaling solution. All said and done it will work like new.

Try Ebay or post to their Want It Now.

Hi. 3 scoops of coffee to 3 cups, Them adjust from there, bobbyone

Built in timer. I have a coffe perculator which swiches itseft off after 2hrs regardless untill I switch it back on again.

Are u sure that the water is still not in the reservior? After the partial brew, CAREFULLY check / empty the reservior for the missing water. If it's still there, then u probably have a clogged perculator hole at the bottom of the reservior.

I just figured out how to correct a slow / partial brew problem for a 4 cup Mr. Coffee that left the water in the reservior...I have been using paper towels and napkins to dry the reservior and cover after use, and apparently bits 'n pieces of paper clogged the tiny little hole at the bottom of the reservior that the hot water perculates through

Multiple vinegar/CLK flushes may eventually desolve this paper clot, but I used my vacuum cleaner with slat attachment to **** the paper clot out.

Hi,

Try to replace the delivery (ascending) pipe in the middle.

Hope this can help you

Try these guys first for an original spare; http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/cgi-bin/main/co_disp/displ/pgname/replacements/strfnbr/20 If you get no luck from them then i would hunt around for a similar knob on an old pan lid or similar, or get any machine shop to make you one up - if you have any trouble actually fitting it, please ask again Hope this helps :)
