Farberware Percolator: My percolator is not heating

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 09:51:54 -0700

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.

Farberware percolator: Not heating correctly - incomplete perk

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 06:05:28 -0700

This twenty-two year old, 8 Cup SuperFast Percolator FCP280-A, coffee maker is heating the water but no longer perking correctly. The heating process is quitting to soon. It finishes to quickly with extremely weak brew but hot water. A visual examination reveals no burned internal parts. Continuity check shows good. My question is which part to replace, the main element, the fuse link or the thermostat? I found parts for it here: http://www.thepartsbiz.com/Farberware_by...

Farberware Percolator: trouble getting the Farberware percolator open

trouble getting the Farberware percolator open

Watching the video, as soon as you remove the 5/16 nut, the bottom comes away. Not mine even though it looks exctly the same (I suspect it is a much older version). Tried placing a knife blade at the junction of the chrome and black plastic and whacking it with a hammer - nada. Any ideas?

Sat, 13 Jul 2024 13:58:34 -0700

I have 2 of the Farbereware Superfast pots, both older models. I think the wiring in the base is broken in both, just used them so much. Is there any place I can send them to get repaired? I love them and they work better than the new models. Just made better back then.

Farberware Percolator: Water not fully draining from basket once percolation is complete

Sun, 28 May 2023 15:21:35 -0700

My 4-cup Farberware has started acting fussy. The pot will complete percolation, but if I remove the lid, I can easily see water in the basket that has not filtered through to the body of the pot. I wait 10 or more minutes without luck. Suggestions are welcome!

The black knob broke off to my FCP280 Electric Percolator. How do you fix it? If I use glue it might soften and break off again. Are there replacement lids available for this model?
