If you have cold coffee everyday chances are your heating coil has gone bad. There is a small chance that a wire has been broken off the heating coil which could cause the same result. Either way you will have to take the heating coil out of the coffee maker to make repairs or replace it all together. To successfully complete this guide you will need to know how to solder.

    • Unplug the coffee-maker from the power source.

    • Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the four 7mm screws from the back and the three 8mm screws from the bottom. This will release the bottom cover.

    • Carefully pull the cover off the bottom of the coffee maker. This will give you access to the inside of the coffee maker.

    • Pull the gray ribbon cable strait out of the black containment box.

    • Pull back each hose clamp so that it no longer holds the hose on the heating coil.

    • After the clamps are released pull both hoses off the ends of the heating coil.

    • Set the coil aside.

    • De-solder each of the four wires connecting the coil to the circuit board.

    • Solder iron can cause burns if used improperly.

    • When soldering the new wires in place make sure they are placed in the same holes the corresponding wires were taken out of.

    Steel reinforced JB weld can repair those micro cracks in the coil. Regular is good for 500 degrees (600 max for 10 min.). JB Kwik weld is easier to use (not as likely to run) but good for 300 degrees. I used the Kwik stuff. I like to apply some when mixed for getting into very small places, but most after it slightly begins to cure. After curing, they are both non toxic. Repaired mine successfully; personally, I could smell it faintly for a day or two, not in the coffee, just around the back area of the maker; however, I’m the only one who could. Still no leaks!

Unfortunately replacement heater tubes/coil do not seem to be available. If anyone has a link please share.

Mine corroded through and leaks through a pinhole allowing water to flow all over the counter.

My Cuisinart chw-12 coffee pot came from a local hospital who had decided to throw it away after many years of use due to a small leak that has worsened over time. I figured I could save it, and after removing bottom cover, I discovered that there is a small pinhole link on the side of heating element due to rust and corrosion, with another forming right next to it. Hope I can find another heating element like this one!!

This is our third one and they have all stopped making water hot on the right side but still make the coffee just fine. I threw the first two away but this one is only 7 months old and quit already. How can I fix the hot water maker? Can anyone send me some advice on this?
