If it's plugged into a GFCI outlet, press the RESET button. Do not press the "test" button.

If still no joy, plug something else into that outlet and see if it works. If it doesn't, check that the breaker on your main panel for that circuit isn't tripped. If it is, push it all the way to the off position, then back to the on position. You should hear it click like a light switch.

SOURCE: Bunn VPS Series Commercial coffee maker won't brew

Hello. I would like to suggest that you pour in water, with a container under the funnel, until water does come out, it sounds like the water has just evaporated too far, and it requires more than a pot to bring it to the top. In the future, if you do not use it for a day or more, you need to unplug it, or just pour a pot of water in to keep it at level, as this unit heats all the time it is plugged in, and can actually evaporate all the water away, blow the element, damage the thermostat, or worse permanently damage the unit.

here you can find the user manual:
http://bunnomatic.com/pages/techdocs/manuals/pourbrew_warm.html

Hope that helps, and thank you.

SOURCE: My bunn stopped working completely.

Plug something else into the same outlet and see if you are getting electricity in that outlet. If it is on a ground fault circuit, push the little red button in in the middle of the outlet. or check the breaker box to see if the breaker has kicked. It is unusual for everything to quit working at the same time if it is getting power.

Bunn GRX-B won't heat and yes it is plugged in and vacation switch is on

You said "...turned vacation switch back on". In fact, it should be turned off for normal use.

If that's not the problem, and it's plugged into a GFCI outlet, press the RESET button (do not press the "test" button).

If still no joy, plug something else into that outlet to see if it works. If it doesn't, check the circuit breaker for that outllet.

Why is my bunn coffee maker water not heating up?

Make sure it's getting power, and that the "vacation" switch isn't on.

If on a GFCI outlet, press the RESET button - Do Not press the "test" button. If GFCI is located on the breaker or another outlet (not uncommon), try resetting the breaker or that other outlet.

If still no joy, check that the outlet is hot by plugging something else into it. If that item doesn't work either check the circuit breaker for that outlet by moving the lever all the way to the Off position, then back to the On position. You should hear a click like a light switch.

No power getting to Bunn coffee maker

Okay, When going away most people empty the tank completely. When returning you must start it as if brand new out of the box. Follow the MFR's instructions for an initial fill and heating.
Some don't empty but just unplug just as you did. Places like Arizona with very low humidity can dry out or lower the tank water where the heating element is not in water. This element will overheat and trip out the thermal fuse.
**Another scenario is the empty unit was plugged in and heating while someone was going to get the water. Over heat then blows fuse.
** The "Vacation" switch is very visible so you probably have tried it already and you have already checked the outlet and breakers. Still looks like a thermal fuse problem.
** Switches do go bad as they are turned on and off daily. Possible yours was bad before but never noticed as it was never turned off till on vacation.
** There are other possible scenarios but all point to a thermal fuse, thermal limit, blown fuse, switch, Heater element, or cut wire (Mice). All are electrical problems and require a MFR tech. Contact your vendor or MFR for service.

Vacation Switch

The vacation switch should be in the "I" position and the "O" should be in the up position and you will see orange around the switch. If this does not correct the issue, then please call 800-352-2866 for further assistance.

I haveBX-B . I had the pot set up for me to push the on button for Monday Morning, but the water ran throug and it was not on.So now I have cold coffee in the Decanter.

The Bunn coffee maker does not operate as most coffee makes do. You cannot leave the Bunn in the off position and then just flip the switch to on and pour the water in. You will always get cold coffee if you do this. It takes time for it to heat the water. The On/Off switch should be left in the On position all the time. This keeps the water hot in the tank, thus providing hot water when you need to make coffee. You then just pour the cold water in the top, shut the lid, and have a pot of coffee in 3 minutes. The On/Off switch is a vacation switch, and you use it only when you are not going to use the coffee maker for a couple of days. Older Bunn coffee makers did not even have an On/Off button. You simply unplugged them when going on vacation. So turn the switch to the On position and leave it there. The unit will then work as designed. Forget how other coffee makers work, this is a Bunn and it is the fastest coffee maker you can buy and must be left on all the time. that way the water stays hot and the unit will keep it that way.

Am I supposed to keep the button on the lower left side of my Bunn coffee maker in the ''on'' position all the time? If I don't, the coffee is weak and barely warm.

Yes that is the vacation switch and should be left on to allow the tank heater to keep the water at the right temperature for brewing coffee. It only needs to be turned off when you will be gone away for 4 or more days. If you do turn it off, it takes 15 min to heat the water back up to the correct temperature.

I did the initialization as per the directions and the water was hot. When I make the coffee, the warmer button will not come on and the coffee is cold. I turned on the vacation button for 15 minutes...

Sounds like something is miswired from the factory. Note that the tank heater switch on most home brewer models also acts as the "master" power switch. If the tank heater switch is not on, the warmer switch will not work, either - this is normal. Under normal conditions, the tank heater (or vacation switch) should always remain on, except if you are leaving on vacation.
