Tank Heater
Removal and Replacement:
1.  Disconnect the brewer from the power source.
2.  Remove the top cover or top warmer housing 
and the rear access panel.
3.  Disconnect the wires to the tank heater.
4.  Gently pull the thermostat bulb with grommet out 
of the tank lid.
5.  Disconnect and remove the fill basin tube.
6.  Remove  the  four  #8-32  nuts  and  hold-down 
brackets  attaching  the  tank  lid  to  the  tank  as-
sembly and remove the tank lid and gasket.
7.  Drain the water from the tank using a syphon or 
similar device.
8.  Remove the two nuts securing the tank heater 
to the bottom of the tank and remove the tank 
heater.
9.  Install a new tank heater with new washers and 
secure with two nuts. Nuts should be securely 
tightened to insure a proper seal.
10.  Install the tank lid and gasket using the four hold-
down brackets and #8-32 nuts.
11.  Install  the  fill  basin  tube  and  tighten  the  nuts

and bulb inside the tank are in a vertical posi-
tion.
14.  Insert the bulb through the hole in the tank lid 
and press the grommet firmly and evenly so that 
the groove in the grommet fits into the tank lid.

16.  Refer to Initial Setup to refill the tank.
Location:
The tank heater is located in the bottom of the tank 
assembly, FIG. 23.
Test Procedure:
1.  Check  the  voltage  across  the  black  and  white 
or red wires on the tank heater with a voltmeter 
when the control thermostat is turned “ON” (fully 
clockwise).    Connect  the  brewer  to  the  power 
source.  The indication must be:
 
a) 120 volts ac for two wire 120 volt models.
 
b) 200 or 240 volts ac for two wire 200 volt or 
240  volt  models  and  three  wire  120/240  volt 
models.
 
c) 100 volts ac for two wire 100 volt models.
2.  Disconnect the brewer from the power source.
If voltage is present as described, proceed to #3.
If voltage is not present as described, refer to the Wir-
ing Diagrams and check the brewer wiring harness.
3.  Check for continuity across the terminals of the 
tank heater.
If continuity is present as described, reconnect the 
wires, the tank heater is operating properly.
If continuity is not present as described, replace the 
tank heater.
NOTE  -  If  the  tank  heater  remains  unable  to  heat, 
remove  and  inspect  the  heater  for  cracks  in  the 
sheath.
