Make sure your sprayhead is the proper one (5 hole) and in good shape. Also make sure that the hole on your filter basket has not been partially closed. This can happen if you set it on the hot warmer. As a last resort, you can slightly enlarge the hole in your filter basket.

Most common cause is a bad heater element. Best bet is replace the unit.

Plug something else into the same outlet and see if you are getting electricity in that outlet. If it is on a ground fault circuit, push the little red button in in the middle of the outlet. or check the breaker box to see if the breaker has kicked. It is unusual for everything to quit working at the same time if it is getting power.

yes they will i have actually had one replaced after i had it one year

The Bunn coffee maker does not operate as most coffee makes do. You cannot leave the Bunn in the off position and then just flip the switch to on and pour the water in. You will always get cold coffee if you do this. It takes time for it to heat the water. The On/Off switch should be left in the On position all the time. This keeps the water hot in the tank, thus providing hot water when you need to make coffee. You then just pour the cold water in the top, shut the lid, and have a pot of coffee in 3 minutes. The On/Off switch is a vacation switch, and you use it only when you are not going to use the coffee maker for a couple of days. Older Bunn coffee makers did not even have an On/Off button. You simply unplugged them when going on vacation. So turn the switch to the On position and leave it there. The unit will then work as designed. Forget how other coffee makers work, this is a Bunn and it is the fastest coffee maker you can buy and must be left on all the time. that way the water stays hot and the unit will keep it that way.

check the highlimit thermostat and i think this machine has an inline thermister where it connects to the element. if ne of the connectionjs is loose or you have a defective part it can heat intermittently

probably the silicone seal between the pastic pan and the tank top, or there is a scale plug between the pan and the tank.

Please call customer service at 800-352-2866 with the model and date code. We will be able to either replace or repair your unit.

Did you check to make sure the switch on the side of the machine is in the correct position-the "I" pushed down and the "O" up in the air and you see orange around the switch? If this is correct, then please give customer service a call at 800-352-2866 with the model and code date.

Do you have the code date? If the machine 3 years old or less, it will be replaced free of charge for you. Please call 800-352-2866 with the model and code date and customer service will be happy to assist you.

I do apologize but these diagrams are not available. What is the problem with the machine? If you will get the model and code date from the bottom of the brewer and contact customer service, we can help resolve your issue. The machine carries a 3 year warranty and if it is 3 years old or less, it will be replaced at no cost. If it is older than 3 years old, then it will be replaced at a reduced price.

It sounds like you might be missing your sprayhead. If you remove the filter basket and look up above it, there should be a dome piece with 5 holes in it. If not, please call customer service with the model and date code and we can provide you with a new sprayhead.

It sounds like the thermostat might be allowing the water to boil and cause the grounds to be scorched and making your coffee bitter. It also could be caused by the machine needing to be cleaned and delimed. I would recommend you do this first-and if you don't have the use and care manual, you may call Customer Service to have one sent out or access one at www.bunn.com @ home, then products.
