Need a P13-1355 stem and spring for 55 cup urn know where i can find one?? i have checked all parts sites i can find on line all say out of stock

Try the Coffee Urn store on-line.The Phone # 1-866-930-1414.

Normal rule is 2 ounces of ground coffee per 64 ounces of water.Somewhere about 2 pounds of coffee.

Hi. The spring slips onto the stem just under the coffee basket, it holds the stem with pressure so the perked coffee go up the stem onto the spreader, check repairshack.com Ron

Hi. Check the spring and make sure it is just under the coffee basket. Next thing check the keep warm element, it should be on at all times the poy is in use. 1 of the 2, one is a fix.

Hi 2 scoops of coffee to 3 cups not mugs. Then take it from there, adjust to your liking. Ron

As far as I know it does not have a spring. (At least the one we have where I work doesn't have a spring and it seems to work fine without one. But the urn was there before I started, so maybe at one time it had one.) Replacement parts are available here, and they list a stem but don't mention any spring.

Hope this helps. Thanks for using Fixya!

New tubes are available from Goodman's, 10914 NW 33rd Suite 107, Miami, FL 33172. Tele: 305 278 8822. If you broke just the ceramic outer tube, it will still work alright. The purpose of that cermaic tube was to prevent the hot water being perked up the stem from heating the other water that hasn't been perked yet.....

I have the older style 55 cup coffeemaker. It is critical that the coffee grounds basket compress that spring on the stem. Pull the spring upward alittle until the basket rises slightly above it's seated position until you put the lid on and it will put the necessary pressure on the stem down in the heater element hole. Also there is what appears to be a loose washer on the bottom of that stem (where it fits into the heater unit) This washer must be free to move around and it acts like a check valve to prevent water that has "perked" up the stem from falling back down the stem.

I need one, too!

I was able to buy a spigot for my Farberware Coffee Urn FSU236 from Mxim/Toastmaster in Macon, MO PHONE: 1-800-233-9054
