Well people ... I think I blew it .... I got the thermistor oleturky recomended and replaced it, but also went to Radio-Shack and bought 2 THERMAL FUSES (226 degree C) and replaced them at the same time (thats where I blew it). The coffe pot now works fine. Brews like a champ. I should have tested after replacing the "THEMISTOR" and if it didn't work ... then replace the "THERMAL FUSES". Sorry about that .....

I just ordered 2 (1 spare ((for .52 cents ??))) of the thermisters from Digikey and will try using your information. Can't lose anything .. doesn't work properly anyways. What happens with my coffee maker is: It will brew about 2-3 cups and shut off. I removed the thermistor (unclipped it from the side of the brewing element) and it brewed the 12 cups ... worked fine ... did this several times. You have to be carful and shut the brewing unit OFF after the brewing is done or you can start a fire. The brewing element will get RED hot and melt everything and possibly start a fire if you don't shut the brewing cycle OFF after brewing. So beware people. I will update this posting after I replace that thermistor. Thanks .. you oldturkey !
