  If no coffee is running through your Sunbeam Coffee Maker, there might be several reasons: * The water reservoir may be empty, so fill it with water. * The water reservoir might not be correctly assembled; press firmly down on the water reservoir to ensure it is correctly positioned. * The steam dial might be set to the steam setting; ensure the steam dial is in the ‘•’ off position. * The brewing filter may be blocked. * The filter is blocked, the coffee grounds are too fine or tamped down too hard. Empty out the filter and rinse under water to clean. Wipe the brewing head with a cloth. Repack the filter with coffee and tamp down coffee.
