The element can be replaced. I have rebuilt several thousand brewers of all types. My favorite brewer is Bunn. If it were me, depending on how old it was, I might just get a new one and chuck the old one because if you send it in to be fixed it will cost as much as a new one. If you do it yourself and you get the element, you should get the tank lid gaskets, and remove all the lime and by the time you get it done (especially if you live in some state like Indiana) and replace the heater element, getting wiring and parts together with no leaks from the fill basin or connecting parts, then removing the sprayhead every morning before brewing to be sure that small bits of lime scale aren't clogging the sprayhead. But that depends on the water used. You may find it will have not been worth your time. Here is the tip of tips...RO filtered water only. That's the ticket. You will get many years of service from your brewer. By the way, you can order the entire tank assembly and just drop it in...at least you could a few years ago. Have fun. Rick in Indiana

Can you soak heating element on a butterball electric turkey fryer?

Most heating elements are indeed submerged in oil and for that reason I would not think it would affect your unit, however I do not normally work on home model products. I am a commercial restaurant equipment dealer, working on commercial products only. Trying it out would tell with within a few minutes whether it's going to work or not? Any other questions, I would find the 800 number or website for that company and ask them directly. Sorry I couldn't be more help to you, but I just don't know that much about home model stuff.

Bunn nhb coffeemaker warming plate switch doesn't work. Can I replace this myself?

You will need any multimeter to test this but it may not be a bad switch but rather a failed heater element. You can buy these on line very cheap or at Radio Shack and auto parts stores. Don't spend over $20 (I have several bought for <$5). The added features or claimed accuracy won't do a layman any good.

My friend gave me a Bunn thermal home coffee maker and I don't know how to make it work and can't seem to find directions on line?

Depending on which maker and how old it is it may have a switch for the heating element. The BUNN brewers have a reservoir inside that needs to be topped off BEFORE energizing the heating element/plugging it in. This usually will require about 3 pots being poured through until water starts to flow from the filter basket. (Have a pot in place to catch the water) Then it is safe to plug in your machine. After it heats up (about 20 minutes) you can load your grounds and pour through a pot of COLD water and voila... coffee.
Also, due to the reservoir you will want to not shut off or unplug your brewer... then it will be ready to brew next time.

Adjusting the temperature

Our Bunn VPR was delivering luke warm coffee. The problem was lime scale buildup on the heating element. I recommend using a cleaner such as Brew Rite or a vinegar solution. If it still does not heat properly, unplug and remove the heating element for cleaning. This corrected our problem.

Bunn ST15

Bunn's official position is that this brewer must be hooked up to a water line. The problem with using these as a pourover is the evaporation of the water. it doesn't take much of a loss of water to burn out the element in those models.

HEATING ELEMENT IS RURNED OUT

You can order a new heating element from the manufacture. But, the crimp connectors and the thermo-fuse may also have to be replaced. You will need the crimp tool for the crimp connectors. You will also need a meter to verify the connections.

If you take the unit to an appliance center they can service it for you. But, you may find the cost of the parts alone to not be feasible.
