How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Handle broken glass carefully. Do not use a leaking carafe on a hot warmer plate.

Steps:

  • 1. Inspect carafe: Look for hairline cracks in the glass and around the base. Replace the carafe if any cracks are found.
  • 2. Check handle attachment: Tighten any loose screws securing the handle to the carafe collar.
  • 3. Gasket inspection: On some models, a gasket seals the glass to the plastic base. If it is deteriorated or loose, replace the carafe assembly.
