Make sure your brew basket is sitting properly inside the maker. Also check the model number of the carafe as it should be PLD12-NP. If the above trouble shooting was no help, please contact Mr. Coffee direct so that we may further assist you.

Hi Karen, I see! Make sure the basket is sitting correctly. The basket has a small stick-out/handle, that should sit tight into the gap of the holder of the basket. You can see it at around 2:00 direction (if you face the coffee maker). Once it sits correctly, the valve will be dropped at the right height for the carafe to reach/push up. Hope this helps!

I don't quite understand when you say "looks to be too short"? My water was getting slow and I know it is because I have very hard water around my area. I ran a cup of diluted Bar Keeper's Friend through then ran a few more times with clear water. It cleared the problem and the water goes down very fast again.

Same problem, also contacted seller and was sent replacement carafe with no improvement. I suspect it's just a design flaw, although interestingly when the coffee pot is freshly cleaned the dripping is minimal (maybe coffee deposits on the lip of the plastic pour change the surface tension/capillary action? idk...)

I hated that coffee maker! Threw it in the trash. Tried everything to keep it from overflowing but nothing worked. Sorry

Sometimes the sensor thingy that sits atop the glass carafe is not in the right spot. I usually start fresh and make sure all parts are in the right place---that usually does it.

If it works fine with just water, then maybe you packed in the coffee too tightly. It might take some trial & error to get it right.

Check to make certain there is no water under the carafe or on the area it connects to the base unit. Then check the blue piece that sits loosely on the bottom center - it may be upside down. Also, after you turn it on and set the time, you still have to push the start/stop button. Hope that helps.

It has done the same for us. Wish I had just returned it during the return window and bought something else. I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement carafe which did the same thing. I am waiting on a third that is currently back-ordered. Glad that it is free of charge but if it never fixes the problem what the heck! If you can still return it I would.. Otherwise contact the company and you might have better luck.

I had the hardest time replacing mine for the same reason. I finally got smart and called B&D; directly. I told them the problem, that I thought it was a weakness in the top design, the model number of my coffee maker. They sent me a new carafe, no charge, within the week--faster than Amazon might have sent it and no charge to boot! The one I bought from Amazon worked, but obvious it was not specifically designed for my coffee maker, as I had to sort of wiggle it to get it seated properly.

Hi Victoria:I delayed answering your email because I wanted to be 100% sure I was correct. I went home and made a pot of (Mountian Blue) coffee. I filled it up to 5 cups - on the glass carafe it was just a tad under the max line and not a drop spilled. So short answer your pot is defective :(

It was just a little too short to reach the spring loaded bottom of the holder of the ground coffee even with the taller lid option that the Medelco includes. I went to the Hamilton Beach website and ordered another Melitta glass carafe for a backup. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, I don't, and I broke the carafe that came with the pot, & looked for a replacement & it was difficult to find & I think when I did locate one, the carafe was more expensive than buying an entire new coffee maker, so... that's what I did.. I don't know why they make a different carafe for each model, and the height, etc. needs to be perfect or the coffee won't go into the pot, etc. :( It's frustrating!

Mine stopped working because the overpressure valve failed. No matter what I did, I couldn't get enough pressure built up to make the water come up through the coffee grounds and into the top chamber. Maybe your S.A.F.E. valve needs to be cleaned? If that doesn't resolve your issue, I'd say it's junk.

No I havent. Mainly because of lack of information on doing so. I certainly would not trust the carafe, it way to delicate. Better not to take a chance on the other part either. Zojirushi has a good website, maybe they can help ? I hope you find your answer.

Hi, Peyton! That is precisely why I detest the coffee maker. I talked with Kitchen Aid; they are not willing to accept return of the product; they would send me some replacement part which is supposed to remedy the overflow problem. The overflow occurred whether I brewed 2, 6, 12 or any amount. I honestly don't see how the new part will correct the issue, but I'm going to try.

Only solution I've found is don't fill all the way to the top which effectively makes it a 10.5 cup coffee maker. Otherwise just make sure lid is attached correctly

Contact the company. Mine doesn't leak. Are you overfilling the water reservoir?This machine will not drip coffee if you pull the carafe out in the middle of brewing.
