Carafe lid does not close properly or leaks when pouring.

Safety first: Let the carafe cool before disassembly.

• Clean thoroughly: Wash the lid and gasket area with warm soapy water, removing all coffee residue.
• Inspect gasket: Check for cracks, flattening, or missing sections of the gasket. Replace if damaged.
• Check hinge and latch: Ensure the hinge pins are intact and the latch engages fully. If broken, replace the lid or entire carafe.
• Test pour: Fill with water and test for leaks before using with hot coffee.
