I took apart the hot water reservoir. It was filled with oatmeal looking gunk on the bottom and I believe that this was causing the sputtering. Hate to think that I had been drinking this. Tossed it out.

You are always drinking it. Those are just dissolved minerals. Mostly they are either ok or even good for you. But there\'s a lot more in the water these days that we can\'t get rid of without expensive methods.

Those contaminants don\'t necessarily precipitate out in the boiling water.

And they are found in bottled water in a similar amount.

Found this thread because I\'m trying to find the correct part number but you all have it all wrong.

There is a one way check valve that is not working. It\'s a little ball bearing sitting on an o-ring, It may even be a nylon ball.. I think in the manual its the blue tube but I can\'t find the correct image. I know this because My first two units, this failed in this way first, then the tank started to leak after I had replaced this little valve which required me replacing the whole unit. My second unit started sputtering and before I had a chance to replace the valve, I had a PGE event that took the heating element out. Insurance replaced the tank so I never bothered researching. Now my more recent unit is sputtering.





IIRC the oring eventually
