TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Tank heater.
2. Hi-limit thermostat or main
thermostat.
1. Not siphoning properly.
2. Automatic Models: Solenoid valve
not seating properly.
3. Faucet Models: Faucet coil is
leaking.

4. Receiving pan nut.
5. Main thermostat set above 210
degrees.
1. Warmer - defective.
2. Warmer ON/OFF Switch.
3. Bad harness.
WHAT TO CHECK
1. Check the voltage at the tank
heater terminals. Proper voltage is
designated on the serial tag located
on the rear of the brewer.
2. Check the voltage between the
white wire on the tank and the
incoming terminal (blue wire) on
the hi-limit thermostat, then the
outgoing terminal (black wire) on
the hi-limit thermostat.
1. Water should flow freely from the
sprayhead.
2. Solenoid valve assembly.
3. Hot water coil.

4. Receiving pan nut loose.
5. Check thermostat calibration.
1. Voltage at warmer terminals
should be 120 volts AC.
2. If voltage is not present on warmer
terminals, check continuity of
switch.
3. Check connections between
harness and switch, and between
switch and warmer.

REMEDY
1. (A) If correct voltage is present at the
tank heater terminals and water in tank is
not being heated, replace the tank heater.
(B) If voltage is not present at the tank
heater terminals refer, to step 2.
(C) If incorrect voltage is present at the
tank heater terminals, check voltage at
outlet.
2. (A) If voltage is present on the incoming
terminal of the hi-limit thermostat, but
not on the outgoing terminal, replace the
hi-limit thermostat.
(B) Check voltage between black and
white wire on the receptacle. If voltage is
not present check outlet or circuit
breaker.
(C) If voltage is not present on the
incoming terminal of the hi-limit
thermostat, replace the main thermostat.
1. (A) Clean sprayhead holes.
(B) Check tightness of sprayhead tube.
(C) See "LIMING" , Page 6.
2. Be sure spring is in place and any
particles are cleaned from valve seat. If
valve seat is worn or mutilated, replace
solenoid valve.
3. Tighten fittings or replace coil.
1. (A) Adjust thermostat.
(B) Thermostat should be calibrated or
replaced.
2. See "INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS", Page 2..
1. Insert correct filter.
2. Refer to "DRIPPING", Step 1.
3. Filter should be centered in the brew
basket and coffee bed should be level.
1. Replace gasket.
2. Tighten sprayhead tube ass'y to tank lid.
3. Adjust or replace grommet.
4. Tighten nut.
5. Calibrate or replace thermostat.
1. If voltage is present on terminals, but
warmer will not heat, replace warmer.
2. If switch does not make and break
continuity when turned off, replace
switch.
3. All connections should be tight.
