My 306 is not priming water. I have no water flow coming in or out. 2 months old 1rst carbon change. Any suggestions. checked everything.

Mainly due to the impeller. The top portion must not be working. Did you plug the system in? If you can't here any water movement or the system running, then it has malfunction. Try changing the impeller first.

Could be mineral buildup. It happened to mine along the seams at the bottom, but it took took two years rather than two months for it to happen. You might have particularly hard water. We have one of those filters at the sink, so the water is less mineral laden. You'll have to get a cleaning kit from Simplex since just about every other product on the market messes with the tin. I wasn't happy about paying an additional $40, but Simplex customer service told me I'd get more than 20 cleanses out of it. And it worked like a charm.

Mine does have a tiny amount of water remaining but not nearly as much as you have. I don't know if that mean there is something wrong. Perhaps try it running on the intermittent timer compare it to running it continuous.

I had the same problem, probably water going from top tank to the bottom one is not fast enough to fill water above the sensor. I was changing level a little bit (adding something very small under the Luma and found the best angle (very small change) and now is working without problems more than 1 year

I had that problem. There is a filter in line. Cleaned it and the flow was fine again.

I've had the same problem! It's impossible to get the water out too! Could there be a missing gasket? If you get an answer, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi Sharon, We had that problem 7 months ago. Called Cuisinart and they felt it was black insert which hold the gold filter. Take the black insert out...you'll see on bottom of it there is a gadget that goes up and down...ours stopped going up and down (ha) and the water was not getting thru. If your's is under 3 yrs. they will send you new one. Hope this helps. Pat

I would only be guessing but if no water is going through it must be a problem with the ceramic dome as it is the slowest part (unless it has a crack then it is too fast) if you cleaned it and still no flow I would suggest you contact customer service by telephone and they could possibly send a replacement. They were helpful when I spoke to them about parts.That said, insure there is no plastic film over either filters

Is the machine new? If it's old, did you clean the machine and prep it for storage last year? If you didn't you can try the cleaning fluid or get some very hot distilled water and try to clear the machine. BTW, did you use distilled water last year? If you used tap water you may have scaling build up which may not be fixable.

When I bought mine last year I had the same problem. Even level it didn't work. Called company and they sent me two little pieces of PVC pipe that were cut to fit over the places where the water tank nozzles are pushed up and are supposed to empty. Not explaining it well but basically if it won't work after being level, call the company and they can help.

Give them a thorough scrub to get the layer of sediment off. And you do have to re-prime to get air out and re establish flow. Hopefully you've kept the priming washer thingy that comes with the filters.

The filters micro-pores sometimes get clogged up with calcium deposits or other stuff. I take my filters off and scrub the outside with a white scotch-brite pad. Then I run a lot of water through the filters, priming them at least 60 seconds.Berkey recommends doing this if the flow rate slows.Not sure about sediment, but I would try cleaning the filters, as above and then see if it clears up.Good luck

I am thinking that the pump might be self priming, but the first time it primes I had to let it go for 30 minutes. Now the only question is, how do I know if I am getting full pressure? I am suspicious that I am not since the coffee seems a bit week.

Follow JohnG's advice. Just insert/remove the water tank a few times to prime. Works like a champ.

Ours is working fine. Did you put in too much water? The different water levels are a bit tricky to see.

i had the same problem with mine. about 6-7 months later the water delivery started to drop. i changed the filter but it did not increase. my next conclusion was a blockage of some sort. i happen to have a oil changer for my cars that works on suction. i pulled the fridge out shut off water supply removed the filter and put in the plug that came with the fridge. then i hooked up the inlet to the fridge to the oil changer. pumped it up and the pressed the water dispenser bar in front of the fridge. it sucked out some dirt and some kind of thick little globs of who knows what. put it all back together and the water flowed like it was day one. here it is 8 months later and i see i need to blow it out again. also fyi, you do not have to use the ge filters. a company called swift green filters makes one that fits. model sgf-g9 i found it for about 18.00 it is rated the same as the ge but for less money. as for the oil changer it is a mightyvac mv7400. it was about 50.00 but worth it because we have 3 cars and at 30.00 a pop for an oil change it was worth buying and it doubles for the suction for the fridge. hope this helps you.
