2 to 8 cup faberware. Doesn't pump. started to perk less and less. now doesn't perk at, will keep water hot if left pluged in.... every so often it will start perking again for 10 seconds or so. When that happens there's a click then it stoppes perking.

You need a keepwarm element. Go to repairshack.com. Good luck. Ron

Your pot needs a keep warm element. the main element works ( perks and perks) The thermostat works ( it turns the main element on and off.) The pot goes on and off because the water is getting cold The problem is the keep warm element. The reason, your pot perk's and it gets hot near the thermo, the thermo turns off the main element. The keep warm element is not on so after a small amount of time the water cools and the thermo turns the main element back on again, thus making the water hot. The K W element is supposed to be on all the time the pot is plugged in, it is instrumental in perking the first brew making it really hot, the thermo turns off the main element and the K W element keeps the water hot. The K M element is very a easy fix, it is the small looking white rope that runs around the bottom of the pot. Thanks and please ask if you need more help. Go to repairshack.com for the part. Ron

Hi. Sorry to say your problem is one of two items, the keep warm element. KEEP WARM ELEMENT

The problem is the keep warm element. The reason, your pot perc's and it gets hot near the thermo, the thermo turns off the main element. The keep warm element is not on so after a small amount of time the water cools and the thermo turns the main element back on again, thus making the water hot. The K W element is supposed to be on all the time the pot is plugged in, it is instrumental in perking the first brew making it really hot, the thermo turns off the main element and the K W element keeps the water hot. The K W element is very a easy fix, it is the small looking white rope that runs around the bottom of the pot. You have 1-nut and 1- screw to remove. When removing the screw from the main element you must hold the (leg) that the K W element is screwed to so it does not bend and brake off. Take your time and be firm with the pressure you apply to the screw, while holding it with a pliers. You will know the KW is working,if left alone and pluged in the water gets hot and hotter
I sell all the pot on eBay under ron622c From the model # you have a China pot. Good luck. Ron

Hi. you need a thermostst. You perking is turning off to soon, 1 it perks, so the main heating is working, It perked, 2 the keep warm element works because it is keeping the water hot and is making the water hotter. You can get the thermostat from repairshop.com.
It is a very, very easy fit and cheap part. Good luck Ron

Hi. If it perks it is not the main element, it is the keep warm element, it is very instrumental in perking. Water should be about 170 to 190 they all differ a bit. Go to repairshack.com. Good luck. Ron

Hi Sharon. ALL Farberware coffee pots make racket. You have a pot that is made in China. When the water is hot the noise stops and it goes into keepwarm mode. As long as your water is hot 175 to 185 it is good. If you were trying to make coffee and you are not perking through the basket is another case.When you want to make coffee you MUST use the cone spring in the pump.That keeps the pump tight so the hot water goes up the pump. With out it the water just boils and does not go through the pump. Good luck. and if you want more info use [email protected] Ron

New tubes are available from Goodman's, 10914 NW 33rd Suite 107, Miami, FL 33172. Tele: 305 278 8822. If you broke just the ceramic outer tube, it will still work alright. The purpose of that cermaic tube was to prevent the hot water being perked up the stem from heating the other water that hasn't been perked yet.....

We use 'em every sunday at church - 1/2 cup grounds for every 10 cups water. Allowances: finer coffees will use less grounds, and the more you are making, the fewer grounds you need ( or vice versa- the less you are making, you may need to increase grounds a bit, as perk time will be shorter
