Unfortunately replacement heater tubes/coil do not seem to be available. If anyone has a link please share.

Mine corroded through and leaks through a pinhole allowing water to flow all over the counter.

My Cuisinart chw-12 coffee pot came from a local hospital who had decided to throw it away after many years of use due to a small leak that has worsened over time. I figured I could save it, and after removing bottom cover, I discovered that there is a small pinhole link on the side of heating element due to rust and corrosion, with another forming right next to it. Hope I can find another heating element like this one!!

This is our third one and they have all stopped making water hot on the right side but still make the coffee just fine. I threw the first two away but this one is only 7 months old and quit already. How can I fix the hot water maker? Can anyone send me some advice on this?

cant say yall will at this time, of posting, find the neededed parts, or if they are still needed but i thought id add this comment here for anyone else looking for parts,

ebay, search (your model coffee brewing machine) include "parts" with model number in search bar hit enter

or and

there may be some small appliance repair websites like "sears parts direct " or somethiing like that or similar to that on the web (the same or similar retail locations that youd take your vacuum to to get repaired, (dont take it to a vscuum only re0pair shop, but a place that does small appliance and vacuum repai locally or google parts for my model# coffee maker
