I own one of these and if the water starts spewing out even when the thermostat is turned down is it about to go out?

I'm not sure. I can tell you that we kept turning ours down until it stopped spitting. The water is still VERY hot. We use it for tea, oatmeal, cleaning, etc. When you look at the dial and how much you are turning it down, it looks like a lot. However, the real test is if its still hot enough for what you are using it for. If you keep turning it down and the spitting stops but the water isn't hot enough, I would call the company.

Hi,Mine first did that when it was first installed. The temp was set to high. I unplugged the unit and not turn it back on until the next morning and it has been great since then.

The water does spew out even at the lowest setting. Not sure why. Our unit is fairly new. Maybe close to one year.

It would appear you may have a defective thermostat. Only replacement of thermostat would cure the problem. Entire unit may have to be replaced, as a replacement thermostat may not be available.

Have used these units for years now, normally it means your thermostat is too high, keep turning it down until it stops boiling over, if it doesn't, I would say your thermostat is shot. Have had them repaired for about $60 or just replace it if it is old. Unfortunately 3-5 yrs is about it on any brand you buy.

I would say you definitely have a problem. Mine has been functioning normally for more than 2 years

Not sure mine works great is the water connected and flowing to the unit? Try changing the selector knob and trying it again good luck

I have purchased two of these. One I had for 12 months and the other one is 14 months old and still working great. If you want this one to last, my suggestion to you is not to let it run out of water. I know they say it has an automatic shut off when the water gets real low. but that is what happened to mine and it didn't shut off and the gasket seal was ruined. So if you don't let it run dry, I think it will last a very long time (make sure you keep it clean, too; the unit is very easy to clean which is another plus perk. Hope this helps.

I haven't experienced this. Is the water level getting low or have you noticed that the "Steam Ready" indicator light is off (meaning that you have used up the available steam and must wait for the unit to build up steam) ? Other than that, I can't think of a reason for the situation you describe.

It could be the automatic thermostat cycling on and off. This unit is not designed for continuous heat output.

I haven't had that problem, but maybe if the water pressure is very high, it might. My water pressure is fairly low.

Hi Chris, so sorry you are having this problem. If the water is coming out from the bottom through the grid where the wiring is .... you can see it through the multiple little holes, it is defective. There are two "legs", one on each side to slide out and anchor the device. Please let me know what happens.

Yes it is until it is almost ready to automatically shut off then you hear some gurgling noise of the water as it is almost gone. But otherwise no noise that bothers me.

The unit would turn off when the water was gone. The problem was the water was leaking out of the bottom of the unit.

I don't have that problem. Mine stays on until the water runs out, which is usually 3+ hours.

Yes. I have problem with it. After few weeks from installation, when the water flow is open, the panel makes same noice and the screen of thermometer is off.

Water will flow through the unit until the sensor detects a leak. There is an audible alarm then as well as a flashing light. There is no water flow then.

Mine never shuts off unless I get up to turn it off. If it's supposed to have a thermostat, it doesn't work.

this unit does stop working when the water runs out and a digital display will let you know it is out of water. Hope this helps. I have to say I love this unit and works outstanding. Joseph

Yes and if you turn it back on without adding more water it will shut right off

Yes, the light will go green on it to let you know the water is at the correct temp and will stop heating the water. Then if the water temp goes down the heater will automatically come on and the light will go red to let you know that it is heating the water. I leave mine on constantly.
