Filter clog: Is anyone else experiencing this?
1643369
I have had this juicer for about two years now and yeah I have had to soak my basket several times now. This morning I am ordering a new basket not because the filter is clogged but because the blades have become quite dull. But I would still buy this juicer again. However I have no idea where this customer service guy is getting their information as breville sells the replacement basket for almost $60 and I haven't found parts through anyone else.

Mine does that too, but it is usually just because there is a clog in the system.

I haven't had this problem but there is a small rubber plate at the bottom of the unit - if you unscrew it, there might be a clog in there. Also, replace the filters which might be dirty. I'm probably stating the obvious but also make sure the hand held nozzle is secure in the side. Hope that helped a bit. I've had my vaccum for 3 years now and haven't had any problems.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for posting this solution! I have just spent an hour trying to unclog the filters with the cleaning tool and with vinegar, but to no avail. I didn't think it was clogged with coffee grounds since I've only used pods so far, and as far as I know, we don't have hard water. (Plus, we've only been using the machine for 2 weeks.) I was ready to bring it back to the store. It turns out the water tank just wasn't pushed in all the way. Seems to me this simple suggestion should be in the list of troubleshooting tips in the owner's manual, because I have a feeling a number of people are having this problem and attributing it to something more serious.

It's definitely the filter, if you have a new filter replace it if not take the filter out and see if it still happens, I had a exact same problem, replacing the filter took care of it. I even tried to clean the filter but that didn't help.

Mine does that occasionally. Try unscrewing the head and re-adjusting the filter - that works about 80% of the time. Lately, (purchased last year) to change the flow setting, I find myself almost spinning the dial to get it to change. I think there is a flaw in the design somewhere, I just haven't had time to really look into it! Good luck!

Yes I had a similar issue when I changed the filter. Call the sevice and they will help you.

I haven't had that problem - perhaps the top of the pot the filter holder sits on is uneven?

Happened to me. I removed and reinserted the filter a dozen times. No luck. Ended up returning it. I recommend the Pur brand.

I have not cleaned the black filters. Sorry, I can't be of assistance on this.

I seem to have a problem with my filter being clogged. It squirts all over when I try to filter water (even trying to run a very small amount of water thru the filter) so I tried to backflush it but water will not flow thru at all. What seems to be the problem? How do I fix this issue if I can't backflush it?

I have had the same issue. I contacted PUR customer service and they said to run water through the filter before using it. They stated that during packing and shipping the charcoal can cause dust sediment. Since then I have not had any issues using the filters. I to have a Keurig and have not had an issue with clogging since then.

Ours flows through quickly (less than a minute), and we use a paper filter. Your screen might be clogged . . . or it might be defective. If the screen if clean, there's something wrong with it. We love ours. Good Luck.

I think because your filter is impeded. Try removing the filter and clean off the debris.

Not sure what you mean? Mine appears to be working as expected - still collecting dust per my black filter

Did you changed filter cartridges? Make sure your water valve is open all the way!! If is a new install it takes a while to built pressure!! There a lot of air in the lines!! Disconnect tank from plastic hose and drain any water inside also disconnect all three filters and start precidure. Sometimes filter don't lock properly!!

This happened to me as well on the 2nd day. Initially, I soaked my filter many times and that didn't help. Eventually it finally stopped today after I shook the filter. It was so frustrating. I guessing maybe this has something to do with the fact that there are 3 layers of the filter materials. Perhaps the mineral particles shuffled to the very bottom but they're supposed to be at the top, according to the pic in the brochure. This is just a guess.
