first check and see if the upper screen is damaged or clogged.
If that is not it then call Grindmaster.

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by Diggadonkey
Recently the flow of water on my OPOD has intermittently stopped when I try to brew a cup. It just makes it's usual brewing noises, but doesn't actually push any water out, with or without a pod (yes, it's full of water). Water WILL flow out if I press the manual override in the back though.
But also, when it does this, it seems to slowly leak water out from underneath the machine all ...

I got one of the refurbs from Baronet and it works great.
