Use a pair of pliers to remove sprayhead, it should not be in there too tight.

Most the time the plug goes bad.This is a cheap molded plug.You can pick up a new plug at the hardware store.Pick up a 120 volt standard 15 amp plug.

None.The coffee machine is limed up.The best thing to do depending on the type of lime is open up the tank lid and remove the lime from the tank.

Try using a bunn deliming spring.Remove sprayhead and run thru the brew tube all the way into the tank.If the water is hot the brew tube is partially blocked going into tank.

Fill water tank until water comes out from sprayhead, THEN plug it in it should be OK.

IF the machine keeps blowing steam/keeps boiling the water, The thermostat is defective and must be replaced.

NOTE: If you don't use the machine for a couple days, UNPLUG IT. The water will evaporate if you don't unplug it.

Check if sprayhead is in place above brew basket.

Could be lime on thermostat probe.When unplugged remove probe and crack off lime deposits.To access ,remove top lid and loosen fill tube nut for fill basin.Take out basin and thermostat is underneath. Also check heating element or hi-limit.Ohm to check with a meter.

There is NOT an adjustment for the pour over coffee brewers.
I think you have calcium build up. Remove the spray head and use the spring to clear the water tube (from tank to spray head) if you are handy, remove the top cover and use the spring to clear the hole were the water goes down to the tank from the reservoir.

If there is a lot of calcium build up you need to descale the brewer with vinegar.
Pour 64oz. of water only, When brewing coffee.

Spring is provided from BUNN when you bought the brewer, if not you can order one.

NOTE: Make sure you unplug the brewer before removing the top cover.

Remove sprayhead and run a deliming spring into the brew tube.Push spring into tank to remove line deposit.Try brewing it now.

try soaking the tubes or lines in vinegar over night, make sure they are submerged. then just rinse with soap and water. good luck!

Depending how old the brewer is ; it sounds like your thermostat is bad.You should get straight continuity accross the hi-limit,element and thermostat.

Sounds like the grind is too fine and it is not flowing through fast enough, try adjusting the grind on the coffee or remove the sprayhead and clean the small holes using a paperclip.

Go to the Bunn website under manuals index.Go to type Model and look under service and repair section to view wiring diagram.

Warmer element may have dropped.Remove 3 screws and check.There are two nuts that fasten warmer to plate.

This brewer has a dial type thermostat inside the top lid. I believe a small counter-clockwise turn (about 1/16 turn) should lower the maximum heating of the brewer. If the brewer is old you may need to replace the thermostat AND the High Limit thermostat... the small "button type" device on the top of the tank with wire to and from the heating element.

Run white vinegar through the coffee maker, it may take a few times and some soaking to get it to work. The unit is probably clogged with hard water deposits.

Best wishes, and thanks for using FixYa.

Older fill basin were made of plastic.It can be replaced with a stainless steel basin.The tank also can be replaced.

You have to pull the top portion of the tank with the element still attached, look for the ring of bolts on the outer edge, careful not to damage the tank lid gasket when you lift it out.
