My Bunn Coffee maker just stopped. No power. No warmer, light or water heater. Not the electrical socket... just not getting electricity. Cord is OK..it just died. I have another one...muich older...still works, but leaks badly from the bottom. Thought it was a gasket...replaced it and it sitll leaks a lot.

Most likely there is electricity short fall somewhere, check socket, if not then open machine and check if all cables are in place. Check for current.

If that doesn't do then it must be electronics.

More than likely a thermal fuse opened ( or both of them opened).

the water maybe wetted some electrical parts or ur tank heater faulty

First, check all of the outlets on the circuit breaker that is being tripped to see what's plugged in. Look at the nameplate information for each piece of equipment, including the coffee maker and right down the Amps rating. Add up the amps. If it exceeds the breaker current rating, you will either have to unplug or turn off something else in order to run the coffee maker, or plug the coffee maker into an outlet on a different breaker.
If that is not the problem, you probably have a short circuit inside the coffee maker.or bad insulation on the power cord. Unplug and unload the coffee maker. Carefully inspect the power cord. If there are cracks or breaks (pay special attention to the plug and the point where the cord goes into the coffee maker), then replace the power cord. It's tempting to just tape over broken insulation, but if the insulation is deteriorating, it's not worth the risk.
If the cord appears to be OK, then remove the bottom cover plate and inspect the wiring for both heaters. If there are signs of arcing between connections or wires, clean it up and repair the wiring as needed (Note: carbon tracks burned into plastic are short-circuit paths. These have to be dug out like a dentist cleans out a cavity in a tooth. Epoxy is usually a good filler.). If there is contamination from a spill, clean it up thoroughly using a damp rag if necessary (do not immerse in water). Wipe everything dry, then wait a while to be sure it is dry. Reassemble and test. If there is a water tank leak into the electrical compartment, you will have to evaluate whether patching or replacing the part is feasible.

Is it still under warranty? Bunn should take care of it for you if it is. Usually if the coffee is only warm it may mean that a thermal limit has tripped. The water stays warm because the tank has a heater blanket that is wrapped around it but you aren't getting any power to the heater that is in the tank.

VPS/VPR are pour over brewers. Like the 12 cup brewers you find at home, they need to be filled with 12 cups of water (a full pot), heated and then peculated over the coffee grounds and collected in a decanter.
BUT there is one main difference! The VPR and similar COMMERCIAL coffee machines are quick brewers. They usually have a pre-heated pot of water stored inside the machine.
* VPR's and similar machines REQUIRE a pre-fill and heating period prior to brewing. This means it's sitting on a level table and filled with water until water sprays from the brew head. At this point the unit is plugged in and the heater is turned on (CWTF's have a toggle switch behind the machine). Brewer will pre-heat the water (there may be some water discharge from brew head as the water expands). Ready light will come on in about 15 mins.
* To Brew; Place coffee grounds in filter, place in funnel and brew head, clean empty decanter under funnel, slowly pour one full decanter of water (cold or hot) into brew tray. Do not overflow tray. Allow water level to sink before adding more water. Only fill with one pot as an equal amount will come out the brew head and funnel.
* FYI Coffee grounds are usually in pre-measured packets for office use. A simple guide is one tablespoon per cup. (level or heaping spoon is up to you)
* Final; Getting back to unplugging when not in use. Yes there is a heater in the machine that keeps the tank warm. You can save power by turning off the warmer plates when not in use. Some units have up to 6 plates. The warmer "Blanket" is designed to keep the tank warm enough to brew and not waste heat or electricity. Yes unplug the unit at night if there is no night crew drinking coffee (or tea) But follow the Pre-heat instructions mentioned above prior to plugging the brewer back in. If the tank has been emptied at night or dried up after an idle week. Then there is a chance you may over heat and blow the thermal fuse. Or at best have a half pot short brew as the water dried up.
* Note leaving the brewer plugged in without brewing daily is not a good idea. The water evaporates and eventually drys out the pot. Takes about 1-2 weeks but it does blow the fuse(s) and the unit will need service.
* Final; Follow the Bunn set up and care instructions (manuals from Bunn.com for down loading. (*FREE*)

The switches are for the "warmers" only. The brewer has a reservoir the keeps water hot and ready for brewing. When it is not re-heating water (after brewing) it has a "keep warm" heater that is low voltage and keeps it ready to go.

look on the left hand side down by the bottom there is a switch try that.

Most likely it is your tank heater, but look on the top of the tank heater, because sometimes the wire will burn off the top of the element

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.
