Does it leak all of the time or just when you pour it in. There are a couple of solutions. There is a tank inside and a pan that leads the water to the tank. There is a gasket between the basin pan and the tank. It could be leaking from there but that is pretty rare. Generally what happens is that the basin may get chips or scale that builds up around the basin to tank access nut. The nut secures the basin to the tank with a flat,round silicone gasket between them to keep water from leaking. If scale impeads the free flow of water from the basin to the tank the water backs up and will give the impression of a brewer leak. I haven't worked on one in awhile but there are two screws that hold the pour over top to the brewer. The top can carefully be removed and a visual inspection is done (remember to unplug the brewer) to see if the access nut is clear. The lime could be in the nut or just below and inside the 3/8' hole that leads the water to the tank. Bunn makes a delimer spring that is used to clean out the sprayhead that I use to clean that nut. Speaking of sprayhead, if the leak happens during brewing and seems to come from the front take the brewbasket away and run about a half a pot of water through the brewer and see if it comes through the sprayhead's 5 holes. If it dribbles and doesn't fan out into the pot, or tracks along the roof of the brewer and drops down the side or back clean the sprayhead and try again. Also if it is the A10 or B8 I would run your delimer spring through it. If you don't have the spring you can get one at your local Bunnomatic representative's office. Or call Bunnomatic in Springfield, Illinois and they can send you one and instructions of how to use it. The picture of the bunn I am sending you is of a restaurant model but uses a pan just like the smaller bunns. This one is stainless but the principle is the same. The nut right by the 1/4" spicot is the water access nut, just like on yours. They will clog and leak, but I would check your sprayhead and the free flow of water from it before I do anything else. If it isn't either one of the solutions I have spoke about it could be a tank gasket or worse. Rick in Indy
Grounds splash from basket into carafe
My brother has a Bunn that does the same. I think the coffee filters he is using are too short. If you think this might be the problem too, try an internet search for Bunn coffee filters. Hope this helps!

It is becomming clogged. Start with the sprayhead. Check all of the holes, be sure water is running from all 5 holes. If the sprayhead is clear, check the water tube. Use your delimer spring. Don't shove it in. Twist in through as if it were a drill bit. If it starts to become resistant don't keep twisting, you may not be able to get it out because of a lime scale blockage. Not knowing where you live or the grain of the water you use, I can't say for sure. But if the spring goes in and you are left with about two inches of spring comming out of the sprayhead you may have cleaned what was blocking the water out of the way. Now run a pot of water without the sprayhead or brewbasket. Just put your pot underneath and pour water in with the Bunn pitcher. Is the water comming out in a good stream now. If so put the sprayhead back on. If the problem presist check to be sure that the nut that holds the spraytube in place. It is the nut right in front of the sprayhead. If it is there then you may want to get a new sprayhead. Rick in Indy

In the tray remove the brass reducer and gasket. lift out the tray. disconnect the two spade terminals going down to the warmer heater. disconnect the electrical leads to the main element. remove the sprayhead and the nut that is below it. remove the screws that hold the tank in place. pull the whole tank out. it holds three potfulls of water. remove the plastic bushing and gasket pieces for the thermostat. remove the thermostat capillary [ be careful with it] remove the screws holding the element and cover. pull out the element. remove the water and clean the inside. pass the cleaning spring through the main tube.
I cant see my BUNN BT Velocity date code on my brewer I was told it is 6 digits... it starts with what number??
To locate the date code on your BUNN BT Velocity brewer, you can try the following:
- Check the bottom or back of the brewer: Look for a label or sticker on the bottom or back of the machine. The date code is typically printed on this label.
- Inspect the sides or inside the brewer: In some cases, the date code may be located on the sides or inside the brewer. You may need to remove any panels or covers to access the label or sticker.
- Consult the user manual: If you have the user manual for your BUNN BT Velocity brewer, it may provide information on where to find the date code. Refer to the manual for specific instructions or contact BUNN customer support for assistance.
If you are still unable to locate the date code on your brewer, I recommend reaching out to BUNN customer support directly. They will be able to provide you with accurate information and guide you in finding the date code on your specific model of the BT Velocity brewer.
