My Mr. Coffee FT series will not brew. I got it 1 yr ago, used it 2-3 times and then put it away on a shelf bc I was using a different coffee maker. Now I have tried to brew coffee and I've tried the self cleaning feature - it makes noise, but no water comes through. Any advice?

Hi Guest,
Thanks for the solution, I already threw it out and bought a cheap coffee maker. Mine was over a year old-no warranty. :(

It is probily the thermal switch between hot wire and element. Check to see if you are getting power through this switch.

I am not an electronics expert, but mine stopped and it was out of warranty by about 3 months so I decided to take it apart....I am usually pretty good at fixing things. I found the problem. One of the small capacitors on the power cicuit board had went out and leaked across the circuit.
I called to see if I could get a new board and was told no. My choice was to exchange it for a new one if it was still under warranty or throw it away if it wasn't!!!!

SOURCE: clean light won't go out, can't use delay brew feature.
Try unplugging it for several minuets & see if it clears it..

Could be as simple as a hose that popped loose, or as serious as a cracked tank...the only way to know for sure is to pull the bottom plate and have a look.
Most retailers have a generous return policy, and you never really know what you can't have until you ask...but if this is not an option, a 30 minute project could save you the replacement cost.
Remove the base plate screws* and lift easy to reveal the heater element and hoses to the water tank.
*Torx screws (a star pattern) require a special driver that can be found cheap at any auto parts store.
Check the hoses one at a time for leaks (cracks, dry spots, tight fit, etc) and look at the bottom of the tank for a split or crack.
Place the bottom back on (no screws yet) and add a little water...If it stays, then you got it.
If it leaks, lift the machine to eye level, drop the bottom out of the way, and add a little more water so you can watch for the source of the leak.
A broken tank means a new machine...but a bad hose can be replaced.
