I just bought this model and I immediately saw the design problem pouring water into the tank; my question is: what is the little black icon in the LED when I plug it in?

This information is from the instruction booklet, although it would be nice if the booklet had pictures to go with it. I assume the full carafe icon means brewing 6-12 cups, whereas the empty means less than 6 cups. "AROMA FUNCTION This function is designed specifically for small batches, normally less than 6 cups, where brew cycles become too short to properly extract the coffee taste from the coffee ground. To activate press the Aroma button (q), then press On. Note : this function cannot be changed once the brew cycle has started. The function can also be used for full pots but will cause more of the bitter flavors to be extracted in that case. Krups recommends only using Aroma Control for small batches less than 6 cups." Hope this helps! Happy Holidays!

Mine did not run at first. It had the circle with the triangle and the water drop indicator. According to the manual the means the tank is full on the tank is not positioned correctly. We are using the gravity drain, but I did notice that the Styrofoam block was in a position where is could not "float". I freed up the block by bending the plastic a little and replaced the tank. Voila.

I am glad to see someone else has this problem! I have had mine replaced 4 times! Did you ever get yours working? I had an old model for 10 years that never leaked, so I know what I'm doing. Frustrating.

I had the same problem I found out it was because I didn't fill the inner tank, you can add water to it when you put it in you will see bubbles keep pulling it out and putting it back in till the bubble stop then wait till the prime light goes on then turn on the pump and it will start flowing don't worry

Is the fill cap on? If it is, open the cap, this should allow the tank to go back to it's original shape. If this is not the case, I would return the tank because this is not normal.

The unit works great - except for one thing. The pop-up indicator is useless - if you keep it tightened the air cannot escape and the tank won't completely fill. If you loosen it to allow the air to escape it doesn't work and all of a sudden you have black/grey water spewing out. The best way is just to remove it and keep a close eye on the level of waste (not TOO close or you'll get an eye full!!) The pneumatic tires are great, but do not come with air in them. Make sure you put air in before you use the tank.

Not sure what tour question is, but am wondering if you turned off the water supply before installing. I've forgotten this step and had it leak. Once I redid the installation process, it worked quote fine. If that's not the problem, maybe it is a defective filter? Wishing you luck.

I _think_ my second unit had water drops in the tank when it arrived. Both units that I have bought (both of which are operating fine and I love) came from the Amazon Warehouse rather than Amazon itself, and were out of their factory packaging, so I expected some abnormality and didn't think much about it.

Might want to try to libricate the hsndle assembly with wd40 and turn down the pressure of the water coming into the tank. Hope this helps.

Sounds like you have a defective one. I have never had a single problem with model. I would call the company and get a replacement.

I haven't had that problem and I use my machine daily so I would say no, it's not normal. If it's not the outlet (do other appliances work using that same outlet?), the tank isn't empty, it sounds like the machine broke.

The light on ours goes out when the top water reservoir goes empty and the bottom water reservoir drops below a certain level. I then turn the machine off, refill both reservoirs, then turn machine back on. I use both switches only to start the boil, then I turn off the high switch. It still boils but uses less energy.

The thing may be bled. Appears that it may also be disassembled and rebuilt. If it is filling with water, you might want to correct the design of your system, or drain your tank more often...

I think there's a plug at the bottom to let the internal water out. You'll have to look and see if it's there. I remember looking for the same thing. The manual is not at all clear on this.

You can't see it while in operation. You can, however, get a small glimpse of it if you take the right tank off the unit, and peak through the small water flow hole while in a dark room. You can see a faint glow through the hole. I've never seen it on the outside of the unit while in operation. The light is completely contained inside the unit. You might be able to get a glimpse of it if you really looked, as others have said below. I've not been able to see it on the outside at all. If you're worried about the UV light leaking, it isn't an issue.

I have not had this problem. Is your Water Pik old? I just replaced mine with the new model. It is much better than the old one. Lighter and quieter.

The design of the water tank is poor! The front of the tank is much lower then the back and if you are not careful filling to the fill level indicator, it is easy to overflow in the front of the tank.So far, this is the only leakage problem I have had to date. JEG
