DTC-975 overflowing pot caused LCD readout to malfunction

Because the pot overflowed (why, I don't know) water/coffee got into the LCD readout and now we can't set the time or program the brew time. The clock and the brew ON/OFF seem to work, however. My question is: Is it possible to get a replacement LCD module? I've taken it apart and cleaned/dried it, but no joy in Whoville! Maybe I can find a used unit somewhere from which to scavenge parts.

Why does my mr. Coffee decanter leak?

First I'm not a Mr. Coffee tech but I have worked on similar machines.
* Most decanters are made of tempered glass and unless cracked it should not leak.
* Most overflowing pots are caused by over filling brewing tank. This can be caused by re-pouring additional water into the brew tank. (automatic brewers may have a leaking water valve - call your vendor for service)
* Partial brewing (taking coffee from a brewing pot) and then putting in more water.
* Removing the pot BEFORE it stops dripping. It leaves a puddle of coffee on the warmer plate
*Over filling the water tank. Most times the extra water will spill out the back. But some may overflow into the basket area then the warmer plate.
* Follow the MFR brewing instructions for filling.
* All brewers should stop water drips after brewing. If you get a constant drip AFTER brewing then have the brewer checked or replaced. Call your vendor.

Bunn cw coffee maker overflows board and fill valve have been replaced

* call vendor for service. Brew timer or water level float needs adjustment.
* Make sure your using the correct brew pot for this machine. It's 64 oz decanter if I remember right. Some of the older glass pots are smaller. Especially if it's the roundy one that looks more like a ball. It should hold at least 1 quart of water easily. Ask your vendor for the correct pots (they don''t like you using 'other' brands of coffee if it's printed on the pot.
* Long shot but possible the valve was put in backwards. Either way the vendor should replace it.

Bloomfield coffee maker overflows, even with plain filter

The outlet of the cone filter holder is clogged. Normally its just a hole you can clean out but some units have a valve that is pushed up/open by your coffee pot. That valve may be clogged or if you changed the coffee pot it may not be opening due to the different pot. Clean valve or just remove it so the coffee will run into coffee pot.

My coffee pot is black inside & using vinegar does not clean it

Use a coffee pot cleaner such as Dip-IT. Walmart sells a product in the coffee maker area that is for cleaning the coffee maker. It cleans the coffee pots too.

While the coffee is brewing without using the grinder feature, coffee overflows onto the counter. About 1/2 of the coffee goes into the pot while the rest spills over. I have cleaned residue from the lid...

overflow problem possible causes: 1) water is over the "10" marker, 2) no filter in basket 3) too much (or too fine) of coffee in the basket -- does not drain. Also make sure the "spring" on the bottom of the basket is not stuck (the one that lets you remove coffee carafe without dripping coffee.
