How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool fully before opening the brew head area.
- Inspect brew head: Open the lid and examine the area where hot water exits into the basket. Look for a cracked plastic head or missing gasket.
- Clean outlet holes: Remove and clean the spray head to ensure water exits properly into the basket.
- Tighten mounting screws: If the brew head is loose, tighten its mounting screws to improve sealing.
- Replace gasket or head: If the gasket is flattened or the head is cracked, replace the brew head gasket or the entire brew head assembly.
