Gfi in kitchen blows when pluggung in coffee maker

What exactly is tripping out? Most kitchens now have GFI recepticals. There is a small red button that pops out if the circuit detects moisture inside the electrical parts of the coffee maker. If that is tripping you may be able to simply dry out the coffee maker by turning it upside down and then blowing the switch and electronic controls with a hair dryer for a few minutes. Try the coffee maker is a receptical in the bedroom. If it doesn't trip there it is probably moisture caused by spilling a little water on the machine when you were filling it. If it trips the bedroom breaker, it is most likely a dead short in the machine. Normally it is not worth the labor and parts to repair this machine.

Every time I plug in my bunn coffee maker, it trips the GFI. But when I plug it into another plug in my kitchen, it will work, but it seems like the water reserve is not right. It blows too much steam and the top starts lifting up from the pressure of the steam, then it starts leaking out the top left side. Then if I pour enough water to make 10 cups, it only makes 6 or 8. The coffee maker is only 3 years old, what should I do?

Hello Rightorl...

Everythig made by man is repairable... and to
MERCILESSLY drive the point home... even
AMAZON carries part for your "B70"... (eBay too).

Just the slightest amount of conductivity
is enough to trip a GROUND FAULT... So
you are not necessarily looking for NAIGRA Falls.

Chances are while you have a 20amp circuit in your kitchen the gfi you are plugging into is rated at 15amps. First make sure your outlet is connected to a 20amp circuit breaker and then change out the gfi for a 20amp one. This coffee pot is more for commercial than residential usage, I had the same problem until I changed out the gfi plug.

I'm not completely certain what the problem is because it's not displaying your whole subject (it get's cut off after electricity to...). However, if it is solving the problem by moving it out of the kitchen, it's likely that the problem that the circuit is overloaded. Coffee makers have a large current draw, as do many other kitchen appliances. If you plug too many of them into the same circiut and then turn them on, you will put too high a drain on the circuit and it will cause the the current to become unreliable and then, eventually, through the braker or blow the fuse to protect the wiring in the wall (to keep it from catching fire). If this is the case, you need an electrician to run another circuit or remove some appliances from your kitchen.

most Keurig cofee makers will trip 15amp GFI'S .
So you should unplug the machine take all the water out wait about 1/2 hour . Then plug it into an outlet that has at least 115volts and 20 amp breaker or fuse . You can purchase plu in testers at radio shack or electrical supply store.

let me know.

Usually this happens when there is an electrical problem with the brewer. If you will call 800-352-2866 with the model and code date from your brewer, we will be happy to assist you with this issue.

NEED TO REPLACE YOUR GFI WITH COMMERCIAL 20 AMP GFI MOST KITCHENS ONLY HAVE 15 AMP GFI'S BECAUSE THERE CHEAPER AND ELECTRICIANS SCIMP ON INSTALLS. BUT NEC STATES 2 DEDICATED GFI CERCIUTS TO EVERY KITCHEN COUNTERTOP.

The key here is to identify the problem as being either the coffee maker or the GFI receptacle... a simple test can be done as follows...
Try plugging the Coffee Maker into another GFI receptacle .. you may have one in the bathroom? If it trips that too, then you have an internal wiring problem with your coffee maker.. if it doesn;t ..then your GFI receptacle may be bad or on the verge of going bad .. either way..this should narrow the problem down to one or the other.. hope this helps..

Try plugging it into another GFI outlet. If it still trips, it's a problem with the coffee maker wiring and is cheaper to replace it than fit it.
