    I’ve been thinking of getting one of these and may still after the defects are fixed. How have you liked this coffeemaker (other than the recall!)?

    The first three pots were great and it makes very tasty coffee but after that three pots, the thermos/pot started to leak when it pours and only stays hot for about an hour and a half. At first, I swear to you, the coffee was still steaming hot after 4 hours. I do still like it but since they are going to let me get a new model at 1/2 price, I am going to get some other version.

    I have one of these bunn coffee makers. mine doesn’t leak, it won’t heat the water in the tank. I paid over $100.oo for this model and it didn’t last a year. thank god I kept my old model. it’s over 6 years old and works fine. I’ll have to look up the numbers on my meatl one and see if it’s still on the recall list.

    I have model GRX-B. The date on the coffee maker is 9/15/09. The switch will not turn on therefore the burner does not work either. What shall I do

  7. Howard Southard on October 28th, 2011 7:37 pm

    I have the identical coffee maker (GRX-B) as Jean Buckner with the identical problem: When switch is turned on there is no power to the maker (the water does not heat and the light does not come on when the switch is turned on to the warmer). How do I determine if it is the heating element or the switch gone bad?

    Give Bunn customer service a call and see if they will replace your coffee maker. Since its been 2 years I’m not sure what they are going to say, but its worth a try:)

    Give Bunn customer service a call and they can tell you where to take it:)
