farberware coffee maker percolator thermostat fix repair

UPDATE: 6-10-14 .... I had to replace the thermostat AGAIN. 3 months of use (maybe 90 cycles??) ... only took 3 minutes to replace it but I am glad I BOUGHT AN EXTRA ... NEVER ONLY BUY ONE THERMOSTAT.


This is my solution to a farberware 12 cup percolator model fcp that was producing weak coffee due to a shortened perk cycle. This video does show wiring, PLEASE be careful and do this at your OWN RISK. This wiring is VERY simple and if you feel comfortable wiring a wall socket, this will be even easier. Goodmans.net is where I got the parts. Hope you enjoy the video. I know my videos are a little slow, but hopefully they show all the relevant stuff. One other relevant piece, the thermostat itself is bi-directional... either direction is ok. Have fun and be careful!
