My percolator does not heat at all. When I connect it, the water remains cool. The base becomes very hot after some time, but does not heat the water. Does anyone know what is wrong with it, and how to fix it? I have a Farberware millenium percolator, model fcp240.
Is this a good question?

@nadeshko could be a thermostat as well as a heating element issue. time to take it apart and inspect. Take a look at this video for an idea of what to look for. If in doubt take plenty of pictures and post those with your question. Use this guide for that.

If your Farberware percolator is not heating up, there may be an issue with the heating element or thermostat. Check to make sure they are clean and free of any mineral deposits. If they are damaged, they may need to be replaced.
Another possible issue is the power cord. Make sure it is securely plugged in and that the outlet is working. If the power cord is damaged, it may need to be replaced.

I have FCP 240-A model that stopped heating. How do you take it apart? The bottom screw comes off easily but the there seems to be a bolt inside the pot that needs to come off. I can get leverage with a wrench. Suggestions?
