Single-serve Proctor Silex coffee maker brews only a small amount of coffee or stops early.

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before cleaning.

• Clean piercing needles and pod holder: Use a paper clip to clear the needle openings and rinse the pod holder thoroughly.
• Run descaling cycle: Fill the reservoir with a 1:1 vinegar and water solution and run several brew cycles without a pod, followed by multiple water-only cycles.
• Check water level selection: Ensure the correct cup size or water volume is selected on models with adjustable volume.
• Persistent issue: If the problem continues, internal tubing or a flow sensor may be restricted or faulty, requiring disassembly and possible part replacement.
