NEWCO manufactured 1989 model RC-28F

We have a 1989 model NEWCO coffee maker model RC-28F serial no. 97729E which is not working properly. We pour water into the resouvour, it heats up, BUT the water does not travel from there to where the filter with coffee grounds it located. Perhaps we are missing a part? Do you have a diaghram of how the tubing at the tops should look like?

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.
