Bodum Restricted Flow or Control Timing Fault

Bodum coffee maker’s brew time is much longer than specified, even after descaling.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Partially blocked boiler outlet, Failing pump (on pump-driven models), Control board timing error, Clogged shower head

Steps to try:

Re-clean shower head: Remove and thoroughly clean the shower head and any internal screens.
Repeat descaling: Perform another descaling cycle if heavy scale was present.
Observe flow: During brewing, watch the stream into the carafe. A weak intermittent flow suggests pump or boiler restriction.

If flow remains weak despite cleaning, the pump or boiler may need replacement.
