Possible Causes
Carafe not seated correctly, Stuck drip stop valve, Wrong size carafe, Excessive brew volume selected
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and let it cool before cleaning spilled coffee from the hot plate.
- 1. Seat carafe properly: Ensure the carafe is pushed fully back on the warming plate so it properly opens the drip stop valve.
- 2. Match brew size to carafe: Do not select a brew size larger than the carafe capacity.
- 3. Clean drip stop: Remove the brew basket and clean the drip stop mechanism. Make sure it opens fully when the carafe is in place.
- 4. Replace carafe or basket if mismatched: Use only the GE carafe and basket designed for your model to ensure proper fit and flow.
