My bunn coffeemaker NHS-B trip the GFI. Where do I find the code date on my brewer?

The NHS-B has a semi-sealed tank that keeps +1 pot of water heated and ready to brew. Pouring in a full pot of cold water will fill the top tray and allow a slow trickle of cold water into the top which forces hot water to over flow into the brew basket. This continues until all the cold water drains into the heater tank. So the brew is matched volume per volume. UNLESS the thank was empty or not filled prior to brewing. Follow the brewing instructions from Bunn (on line for *FREE* download at Bunn.com)
* If it leaks (from the bottom) only when you pour in water. Then your pouring it too fast and over flowing the fill tray. slowdown, watch the level in the tray. do not fill past the lid.
* If it leaks just sitting (not brewing) then there is a hole in the tank. Call for service.
* If it leaks after filling the tray half way. then the top of the tank has a leak, loose, cracked, or missing gasket. There is quite a few gaskets on the lid. Call for service.
* Final; Leaks are always bad around electrical equip. Best to unplug and call for service to be safe.

P.S. If you did splash too much water then wipe up as much as you can. Leave it out on a towel or paper towels to allow the excess moisture to evaporate. If you dump all the water out of the brewer (and tank) then you will need to pre-fill it with a pot of water PRIOR to plugging in the brewer. Follow the set up instructions in the manual. Let it heat up and try again. If it's still leaking then there is a hole in the tank. Call for service.

Our bunn NHS Velocity was unplugged accidently. Now when we make coffee it is really luke warm and the light doesn't appear on

This is really a home style VPR brewer (but looks nicer)
if you listen to their video (link below) they mention it has a pre-heated tank of water already in the brewer. This means the brewer needs to be pre-filled with a full pot of water and pre-heated prior to using the brewer. Unplugging this unit won't be a problem UNLESS it was emptied of tank water and not refilled when powered up.
* The unit will try and heat up the tank of water but if empty then just air which overheats the unit then blows the thermal fuse. Call for service.
* The warmer is still working but it's not hot enough to brew frequently as the warmer may take up to an hour to get the tank hot enough to brew or it may not get hot at all if it's own thermal fuse blew too.
* Final; call for service to be safe.

Brand new! Cleaned it out with vinegar initially, poured in and turned it on. Still waiting, nothing is coming out at all. What's the problem?

Bunn coffee pot leaking bottom

The leak is most likely between the water reservoir and the tank. Bunn uses a soft silicone seal for that connection that gets compressed over time and starts to leak water whenever you make a pot of coffee.

It's planned obsolescence. Bunn won't sell you a new seal. So you have to improvise. But it's simple enough to do.

Remove the top cover and the plastic water reservoir right below it. Don't tamper with the little valve that opens when you close the lid.

Look for the seal. It could be stuck to the bottom of the reservoir, or sitting loosely on top of the metal tank. Make sure to preserve its top-to-bottom orientation (don't put it back in upside down).

Apply a narrow bead of clear silicone into the grooved side of the seal. Press the seal gently onto the reservoir, then apply a thin layer to the smooth side.

Re-install the reservoir and reassemble the unit.

Leaks water from the top resevoire

Either your fill tank is clogged, or your washer seal is cracked. You will need to remove the top of your Bunn to access this area. In the resevoir you will see a large nut with a drain hole. First try clearing the hole with a tooth pick and pour water in the basin. If it flows you have good drainage. Now, with the top still removed, pour water in the basin while checking for leaks. If a leak is present you should remove your drain nut and inspect the clear white looking washer on the underside. If it is cracked you can replace it with a gasket from Bunn. If you are tight on time and cash, a non rubber heat proof water hose gasket will suffice until yours arrives from Bunn. Replace and re-tighten the basin and drain nut (do not over tighten) .

Ours was leaking as well.

Unplug the machine first. The entire top just snaps off in one piece. When you have this off, gently snap out the pivoting arm you are looking at that has a clear silicone cover over the drain to the tank. This needs to be cleaned along with the top resevour. Remove the brew basket (where you place the filter). Tip the unit upside down and drain the water. Unscrew the spray nozzle. There are two Phillips screws that need to come out. Remove them and then gently pry off the bottom section as well. It pivots from the back.The on/off switch will probably come out of it\'s mounting when you do this so take a good look at how it\'s placed so you can snap it back in when you go to reassemble the unit. The stainless steel band around the top of the unit will probably come off at some point during dis-assembly. This is just for looks so if you don\'t want to bother with the hassle of getting it back in place, don\'t worry about it.

There is a silicone tube that attaches the bottom to the top. Pull this off for cleaning.

Clean everything you see with white vinegar. Do a good job, soaking the tube, flapper, spray nozzle etc. If you saved the package that came with it when you bought the unit, there is a long, thin brush for cleaning the drain tube. If you don\'t have that anymore, pipe cleaners will work but be careful you don\'t poke a hole in the silicone tube.

Leave the pivoting arm off the top of the fill tank and fill everything with white vinegar and let it soak. Dump it out and be amazed at all the crap that comes out. Do this a couple of times until nothing more comes out. Reassemble the entire unit making sure you get the silicone tube securely in place. This is a pain but take your time and do it right or it will leak. Fill everything with water and run it for a few cycles until it is flushed out. About once a month or so, dump out all the water and fill the tank with white vinegar, let it soak and then run a brew cycle with vinegar instead of water. Flush as above.

The siphon, drain tube and spray nozzle get clogged with calcium and this is what causes the leaks.
