Water heats but stops perculating (by 2 users)

posted by fejjkcnar on Dec 26, 2007

This machine heats up the water real hot but only percs a few times before the red light comes on. We end up with clear hot water, no coffee.

What's it look like? What if I can't find it? Where can I get one?

This is my exact problem. However, I don't understand the solution. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. There is nothing loose on my perculating pump.

Check the spring under the grounds basket on the pump tube. This is supposed to hold the end of the tube down in the heater well. It should compress when the lid is pushed down on the basket and twisted to lock in under the handles. I have found a good source of parts for Faberware urns and percolators at goodmans.net. The thermostats and heating elements can be easily replaced and the urn returned to original condition. Rich of Colorado

check for a "dip tube" that may have come off its tubing between the reservoir and grounds basket.
