Remedies 

5.

 Incorrect or 

inconsistent 
beverage level. 

Water deposits may be plugging the 
spray head or internal tubing. 
 

The brew volume may not be 
adjusted correctly. 

The water supply pressure may not 
meet requirements. 

Clean the spray head and use the 
clean out spring.

  See the 

Maintenance And Cleaning section.

 

Adjust the timer.  

See the Adjustment 

section for “Adjusting The Timer.”

 

Test the incoming water supply 
pressure.  Water pressure should be 
between 30 and 80 psi.  If the water 
pressure exceeds 80psi, install a 
water pressure regulator and reduce 
the water pressure to 50 psi. 

 

6.

 The hi-limit 

thermostat keeps 
activating.

 

The brewing temperature is adjusted 
too high. 

Adjust the thermostat.  

See the

 The coffee 

brewer is 
making unusual 
noises.

 

The water supply tube may be 
touching the coffee brewer, counter 
top or walls. 

The water pressure may be 
excessive. 

 

Adjust the copper tubing so it does 
not touch the coffee brewer, counter 
top or wall.   

Test the incoming water supply 
pressure.  Water pressure should be 
between 30 and 80 psi.  If the water 
pressure exceeds 80psi, install a 
water pressure regulator and reduce 
the water pressure to 50 psi. 
 

8.

 Poor tasting 

coffee. 

The brew cycle was started before 
the “Ready” light was on. 

Water deposits are plugging the 
spray head or siphon tubing. 
 

The brewing temperature has not 
been adjusted correctly. 
 

The amount of coffee being used 
may not be correct. 
 

More than one paper filter was used 
when brewing. 

The coffee brewer should be cleaned 
regularly. 

Brew only when the “Ready” light is 
on. 

Clean the spray head and use the 
clean out spring.

  See the 

Maintenance And Cleaning section.

 

Adjust the brewing temperature.  

See 

the Adjustment section for “Adjusting 
The Thermostat.”

 

Change the amount of coffee being
