Mr. Coffee BVMC-SJX33GT O-Rings Replacement

Schwierigkeitsgrad

Moderate

Schritte

Zeitaufwand

20 - 25 Minuten

Einleitung

There are two O-rings in the Mr. Coffee BVMC-SJX33GT; If your coffee maker is leaking, the O-rings may potentially be damaged in some way and in need of replacement.

Make sure your coffee maker is unplugged and empty of all water before attempting to make any repairs.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Turn your coffee maker over so that the base is facing up.

Schritt 2

Locate the seven 13.5mm screws securing the base to the coffee maker.
Unscrew the screws using a #2 Phillips head screwdriver.
Use a screwdriver with a magnetic tip to more easily remove the three screws in the back and two in the middle.

Schritt 3

Also the front two screws are safety screws: they have a 6 sided star shape with a raised dimple in the center to prevent homebodies from casually opening the machine. (probably from the Sunbeam’s (owns Mr. Coffee) legal dept.) Anyway you will need a security bit to remove the screws and not a phillips screw driver.

Schritt 4

Lift base to remove.
If the base sticks along one edge, do not pull at an angle. Gently tug straight up while sliding a finger along the edge in order to pop the clips.

Schritt 5

Locate the metal clamps.
Using a pair of pliers or your fingers, slide clamps away from tube opening.
All following steps regarding the rubber hoses should be completed for both hoses.

Where do you get replacement hoses?

Ok I cleaned mine the way you are supposed to, but it is still brewing super slow.

Schritt 6

Using a plastic opening tool, loosen rubber hose from metal tubing.
Once loosened, grip the hose and pull it from the metal tubing.

Schritt 8

Locate the other set of metal clamps.
Using needle nose pliers or your fingers remove these clamps by pinching the clamps and sliding them up the tubes.

Schritt 9

Grip the hoses and pull them straight up and out.

I have the same coffee maker as pictured. I removed the clamps, and the first hose came off easily. The hose housing the valve would not come loose. I ended up tearing the hose while trying. Any ideas for a replacement hose? And how to get this torn one off?

Sadly, you mentioned the size of the screws, but failed to mention the most important piece of information, the size of the actual silicone hose (ID & OD).

Very helpful procedure. All 7 screws on my maker were Philips heads so thankfully did not need that special tool. As I did not have a spare valve, I ran water through mine and confirmed the operation of the valve by blowing on each side. The valve seems clear and working as it should but after reassembly sadly it made no difference. I think in my case there must be something wrong with the heater circuitry and will have to dig a bit deeper to determine what failed and if it is worth (or even possible) to replace the defective part.

Schritt 10

Locate the two 17mm screws securing the bracing bar.
Unscrew the screws with a #2 Phillip's head screwdriver and remove the bracing bar

Note that a common failure point in this kind of appliance is the thermal fuse, seen in the above photo as the electronics-looking thing in the photo above, connected to the blue wire. If the coffee pot will not heat at all, check this fuse with a multimeter to see if it’s blown. It could save you the frustration of a replacement heating element that does not solve the problem.

Schritt 11

Using a finger to keep the heating plate in place, grip the metal tubing and gently pull it away from the plate.
Set the metal tubing aside.

Schritt 12

Push the heating plate up from below and remove.

Schritt 13

Locate the five 11.5mm screws securing the plastic ring to the coffee maker.
Unscrew the screws using a #2 Phillip's head screwdriver.

Schritt 14

Using a plastic opening tool, pry the first o-ring out of the plastic ring.
If you happen to mix up the o-rings, note that this o-ring is thicker than the second.

Schritt 15

Gripping the plastic ring, pull it free from the coffee maker.
Flip the plastic ring over.

Schritt 16

Using your fingers, pry the other o-ring free from the plastic ring.
If you happen to mix up the o-rings, note that this o-ring is thinner than the first.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
