Bunn F15 not brewing - Bunn CWTF 15-3 Coffee Maker

Not sure your model name is correct and we always need numerical model names here. Bunn are such a well known name in coffee machines, I find it disappointing that they say ANY machine is not repairable. I found some Training Manuals and I found a 'Thermostat Limit Kit'.

Hello, Trent -

I checked the User Manual for the Bunn Speed Brew
< http://www.bunn.com/sites/default/files/care-and-cleaning/49740.0001.pdf >
and didn't find the problem you describe in the troubleshooting (Let's Solve) section.

Therefore, I recommend you telephone Bunn Customer Service and talk with a someone there. See this web page to find the right number to call and the days and hours of availability:

The company may need to send you a replacement machine.

VPR has a semi-sealed tank that keeps +1 pot of water heated and ready to brew. Pouring in a full pot of cold water will fill the top tray and allow a slow trickle of cold water into the top which forces hot water to over flow into the brew basket. This continues until all the cold water drains into the heater tank. So the brew is matched volume per volume. UNLESS the tank was empty or not filled prior to brewing. Follow the brewing instructions from Bunn (on line for *FREE* download at Bunn.com)
* If it leaks (from the bottom) only when you pour in water. Then your pouring it too fast and over flowing the fill tray. slowdown, watch the level in the tray. do not fill past the lid.
* If it leaks just sitting (not brewing) then there is a hole in the tank. Call for service.
* If it leaks after filling the tray half way. then the top of the tank has a leak, loose, cracked, or missing gasket. There is quite a few gaskets on the lid. Call for service.
* Final; Leaks are always bad around electrical equip. Best to unplug and call for service to be safe.

I would suggest you visit Bunn Customer Support for help.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

be sure there is no water in it. put two pots of water in it. It should fill up the pot then. next time just ad one pot of water. and it should work right.It keeps some reserve water in the heated part.

Inside of the front cover is a brew timer dial turn this counter-clockwise a little bit, then try brewing another pot. re-adjust as needed. Just watch where you put your hands in there.
