This is an used bunn coffee maker, but i purchased it from a yardsale, when i poured water into the resovior,it didnot do anything, the warming plate works all light switches work, is there anything i might be able to do to fix this,iam not even sure how to clean it.
It sounds like you have a pour over model and the problem is the tank
isn't full. Turn the machine off (or unplug it). Put a pot on the
warmer like you are going to brew coffee. Pour clean cold water into
the top until it starts coming out the sprayhead (above where the
coffee grounds go). Now plug it in and turn on. Let it heat up then you
can brew.
The way your machine works is that there is always
about 2-1/2 pots of water in the tank. The water you pour in to make
coffee is actually pushing the hot water in the tank out. So, if you
don't fill the tank before using it, you may be hurting the heating
element since it isn't totally submerged in water.
installed, so, the cleaner the water the better tasting the coffee.

My machine is used as well. I put a pot of water in it and
nothing happened. I will try filling it with 2 pots of water.
I hope it doesn't run over. I will try this and see what happens.
I tried the recommendation and all the excess water ran back
into the pot cold. I am thinking the heater coil is toast, or perhaps
there is a loose connection to it. If possible, does anyone know of
a Bunn repair center in Western N.C.? Thanks
