These machines needs regular dealer service, but of course they don't tell you that when you buy them.

there is a small rubber flap valve in the tank. if you carefully clean that on a regular basis your problem should end.

Sure Thing :)

1) Open the lid
2) Take out the filter basket.
3) Take out the Coffee Tank and fill it with water to the appropriate mark at the back of it. (Should be a stepped type marker)
4) Pour the water from the Coffee Tank into the Water Reservoir in the coffee maker it's self. (This should be on the left side of the metal warming plate.
5) Place the Coffee Tank back on the brew station.
6) Place the Filter Basket back in the coffee maker
7) Add a coffee Filter and 5 Tablespoons of coffee
8) Close the lid
9) Press the Brew/Start button (The top left one)

You can run a cup of vinegar through the machine. Run it just as you would making coffee, except without the coffee. Run water through the cycle at least twice to remove sediment and the vinegar. Works like a charm.

The spring goes at the top of the stem, under the filter basket. This keeps tension on the basket, so it will pop up when you remove the cover.

Try to see your manual.

I had the same problem with mine when it was brand new. I called Hamilton Beach and told them what the problem was and they sent me out the new parts to fix it. It was actually the rubber gasket that was causing mine to leak. Hope this helps.

My brewStation 47214 stopped pumping water today, even though the warming element continued to get hot. A half dozen screws later I discovered a second heating element inside the coffee maker. The internal element is what heats the water and forces it into the basket. This element was burned out, religating my brewstation to the garbage. Probably last 3+ years.
