My dispenser sporadically spits out boiling water even though nothing has touched the handle. Is this normal? How can I make it stop?

Mine is doing the same thing. It states the max temp is 190, so setting it at the max should be safe and it operate normally. Has anyone else set there's at the max and it works fine? thanks

Just lower the temperature dial a little at a time till it stops, then lower it a drop more, Mine did that till we lowered the temp. Great dispenser. I love it!

It is not. Contact Anaheim Manufacturing Company that manufactures Waste King and for customer support. It might be under warranty and theywill replace it for you

I would dial the thermometer setting to the left or countrrclockwise to lower the temperature. This setting knob is under the sink on the front of the tank. Make small adjustments; no one likes cold coffee that is meant to be hot. Hope this helps.

I pour boiling water in mine at least daily and haven't had any issues. Hope this helps!

never had that problem. However there is a mechanism that shuts off water flow thru the filter if the glass pot is not in place. My guess is this mechanism is falsely reporting the absence of the pot at some pint during the brew.

Had the same problem, used a paper clip to unclog the part where the water come through (the metal pointy part that pokes the hole in the k-cup). Didn't have much success until I kept doing it and ran water through and then *as water sputtered through, I lifted the handle to make it stop, then put it right back down to resume.* each time coffee grounds came out little by little until POP the clog came out and water poured out. It's now working great!!!

Sounds like it is defective. It should boil for a short time and then maintain the temperature you set. I should not keep boiling.

Sounds like its clogged up. It might need to be descaled. Since I bought it I only use distilled water and haven't had any issues. I love this little steamer.

I havn't had that prob-I hand wash. Top knob does unscrew so you can pull plunger out. Maybe then shake water out?

Try boiling the item and just hot water in a pan on your stove for about 20 minutes that should take care of the problem

I just recently noticed in having the same problem. I suppose I'm going to need to contact customer service or just get in there and see if it needs some pipe dope.

We have had our dispenser and stand for 7 years now and love it. When I was first learning to clean it, I accidentally put the rubber washer on the outside which caused a leak, but I quickly learned that it goes on the inside. No drips now. I suggest you disassemble the spigot and reassemble it. That should solve your issues.

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 have never had a problem with mine. If it helps I will tell you what i do when i make it. I always use bottled water,my stovetop is on medium, i turn it off as soon as it opens the valve and when I wash it it is just with dish detergent and water never any scouring powder. Hope this helps you.

The first one that I got did the same thing, would not brew and I had it replaced. It seems the water is not dropping to the bottom of the resorvoir. When trying to brew a single cup, I would get error messages because of this. Lousy production control is what I think. My replacement is working fine tho.

do you mean that the system percolates very slowly, or that the actual pot pours slowly. If the pot itself leaks it could be that the seal between the plastic and the glass is not good. If the seal is bad and the unit is within warranty you should be able to get it replace3d at no charge.

I have not had these issues. If the boiling water overflows, perhaps fill kettle 3/4 full. The handle for me has never been hot. As for the top nob, I treat it with caution, ie...do not touch till the kettle water is no longer boiling.

Wow. Sorry, I haven't had that problem. Depends on where it's leaking. Might try a new cleaning cartridge and then call the manufacturers help line if that doesn't work.. you can also clean it manually if needed. Check your Operation manual. Might be a stop-gap till you can get it fixed. Good Luck.

make sure you didn't turn off the button on the side of the pot. That's the only thing I can think of. Hope it helps.
