[ 5 ]
POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Thermostat turned off.
Burned out Heating Element.
Check the thermostat to make sure stem is turned all the way to the
right.
If thermostat is on (closed) you should read 110/120 volts at the
element terminals. Voltage present at these points but no heat,
indicates the element is burned out. Replace it.
PROBLEM: water in tank does not get hot...
POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
PROBLEM: Water does not spray over coffee...
Remove the spray head from the brewer and inspect for
obstructions. Clean and reinstall.
Remove tank lid. Determine if there is water in the tank. Follow
instructions on page 3, Problem: Water does not flow into Heating
Tank.
Check the brew switch for continuity between terminals 1 (white
wire) and 2 (blue wire). While pressing the switch. If there is no
continuity or if you have to push the switch three or four times to
read any continuity. Replace the brew switch.
When the timer is activated by the Brew Switch you should read 110
to 120 volts across terminals 6 and A of the timer. The RED wire on
terminal 6 supplies power to open the Dump Valve. If you can't read
any voltage across the two terminals, replace the timer.
Check the dump valve coil using a volt meter on the dump valve
terminals. If it is showing 110 to 120 volts but valve does not actuate,
valve is defective; replace the valve.
