Coffee maker overflows the carafe; coffee and water spill onto the counter.

Safety: Unplug and let the unit cool before handling hot components.

• 1. Verify carafe placement:
  • Ensure the original Frigidaire carafe is used and fully centered on the warming plate.
  • Check that the lid is properly attached to the carafe.
• 2. Inspect drip-stop valve:
  • Remove the brew basket and locate the spring-loaded drip-stop mechanism.
  • Clean it thoroughly to remove coffee residue.
  • Ensure it moves freely when pressed and releases fully when the carafe is in place.
• 3. Adjust brew volume:
  • Match the selected brew size to the carafe capacity.
  • Avoid selecting a full 12-cup cycle with a smaller carafe.
• 4. Replace faulty parts:
  • If the drip-stop valve is damaged or does not seal correctly, replace the brew basket assembly.
