My old coffee pot just isn't working right anymore! I think I need some simple advice on fixing it before I buy a new one.
Man and I've been there with my that model acting up, and it turned out the filter basket was all gummed up with old grounds... Give that a good clean, maybe soak it in some hot soapy water for a bit. Works great.
If that's not it,, check if the water reservoir has any blockages or if you're using the right amount of that model. Too much can clog things too. Anyway, simple stuff like that saved mine from the trash heap.
I had one slow to a crawl and it turned out to be a simple seal issue. lid gasket and the groove it sits in had a film on them and so steam and water were escaping instead of going through the grounds. A good scrub of the lid & the gasket, and the basket rim with warm soapy water brought the flow back and the brew tasted normal again.
Also make sure the carafe is pushing the switch under the basket. If the pot is slightly off center, the valve stays closed and you get drips or nothing at all. Keep the fill below the max line, use a paper filter that fits without folding, and avoid very fine grinds that can choke the basket.
If it starts a cycle then quits, refill the tank and give the side a few firm taps to dislodge an air bubble in the intake tube, then run a water only cycle. If the warming plate stays cold and there is no sound from the boiler, that points to a failed heater or thermal fuse, which is usually not worth chasing on an older unit.
Oh and that model woes, I feel you. My pot started dripping instead of brewing a while back, and I figured out it was because the lid wasn't sealing right. needed to adjust it or clean the seal.
Another thing, if it's not heating up, could be the thermostat gone bad, but that's more advanced. For now, unplug it, let it cool, and inspect for any visible crud or damage. I tried that and it fixed everything but then... yeah, turned out to be a loose wire I could nudge back. Saved me bucks on a new one.
