Tim Horton bunn coffee maker is leaking from the bottom when I make a
brew of coffee .I notice the water is cold and not hot. is there any solution.

This is usually caused by a missing sprayhead above your filter basket. take out the filter basket, and see if there is a sprayhead up there, or if there is just a little round pipe that the prayhead screws on to. If it is missing, you can contact your local Bunn dealer, or phone bunn directly, and they will take care of you. You can get a list of repair centers in your area at www.bunn.com

Sometimes this happens if you use filters that are too thick for the brewer. If you are using Bunn filters andthis keeps happening , up above your filter basket, there is a sprayhead. Turn that off, and look at it to see if it is plugged up.If there is no sprayhead, then that could cause your filter basket to overflow, as too much water will be coming into the basket too fast.

If the circuit resets with the coffee maker unplugged, the coffee maker is at fault. There is a defective part in the unit that is shorted causing an overload in the circuit. You will have to isolate the bad circuit and replace or replace the coffee maker.

I have the same problem and I took the coffee maker apart to find out why. It has to do with a leak on a fitting. On mine I found that the fitting where the hole in the black plastic that the water flows through to get into the stainless steel tank needed to be repaired with some silicone sealant to fix the leak. Still making some coffee!

I bought a new coffee maker!!

Check to see if there is a little tiny drain hole that allows the water to flow out if overfilled. If so, avoid pouring water near it, and certainly not above it.

Hi.
This needs surgery - so make sure it's unplugged, then remove the base & covers.
Look for leaks around seals and pipes.
80% of the time - it's a seal that is faulty. You can contact the manufacturer for a replacement - or - just use standard silicone sealant to apply a thin layer over the defective area of seal - then re-assemble.

Silicone is so effective thesedays - that engine sumps are "glued on" rather than using a solid gasket. I'ts cheap and effective for repairs like this also.

If this is one of those units with the leaver that starts brewing when you close the fill lid, I have the fix. What has happened is that the "tank" that holds the just added water has deteriated due to heat from the stailess steel tank that hold the hot brewing water. This tank remains hot as long as the side switch is in the "on" position. You will have to remove the (3) screws that you can see from the top of the coffee maker. (2) are under the lid where you fill water. Remove the top of unit. You will find the lever in this "tank". You will need to remove the lever to access the fitting that screw into the stainless steel tank. This is the area that has deteriated from the heat. You will also need to remove (2) screws to be able to remove this "tank" for repair. After you clean the area where the "fitting" was removers from the top of the stailess steel tank. Apply a bead of RTV silicone around this area. This can be found in automotive stores. The RTV will form a seal around this deteriated area. IMPORTANT Make sure you don;t put to much RTV on parts. You don;t want to interfere with the seal on the leaver. Replace the "tank" along with the washer & fitting. Replace the (2) screws also. Replace the leaver. Replace the top cover with the (3) screws. Let unit sit overnight to allow RTV to set. I have done this fix twice. 3 years apart. I have not been able to find this part to purchase sepratlly. I can't see paying $85 for a refurbished unit.

You may be grinding the coffee to fine making the draining a little slower. There's something called a fast flow filter that may help also. Also, make sure that you aren't jamming the filter down to partially block the drain hole ensuring that it is freely draining out unobstructed

If this is a BUNN, the problem is the heating element is turned of by the switch on the side or the heating element is bad. Feel the rear tank area of your unit. it should feel warm to the touch at all times that is is plugged in. The water must be up to temp to work properly.

You will need the de-liming tool to proceed. Run a pot of white distilled viniger thouth the coffe maker. Viniger is a excellent cleaner & will not hurt any internal parts.

You might be overfilling the unit or the unit might be defective from the manufacturer.

Well they don;t give these away for sure. Lets see if we can help you out. ? are you over filling it.This happened to me because I was reading the fill line wrong. {got new glasses} . If not may be you could try makeing less. But if only 1/2 cup comes out and no more, that wouldent indacate a leak in the tank, if there was it would all leak. Try backing off on the coffie and water, and see if it still leaks. if it does get back to me. DFD

The solution was that I returned the coffee maker and got a new one. Three months
of working is not enough.

Somewhere inside you should find a small rotary thermostat. Also make sure the heating element is completely clean by using a quality descaler like CLR. A lot of people use white vinegar but it is not that effective on coffee makers. Make sure the heating element under the carafe is working, because that is heating up as the coffee is brewing. ..
