I've had this coffee maker for less than a year, first problem I had was water coming out and having my counter cover in water, I solved that problem using a washer or what is called a ranger band of about an inch wide fitted on the tubes where the water moves from one side to the other, no more problems. Bad elements used on your part. The warmer plate has pealed, the coating used not for heat? Never put the parts in the dishwasher yet the lid clip is broken now and apparently caused by the heat while brewing, which I can't fix, and I can't find the parts listed. Even with all these problems I still like the coffee maker, and it still brews great coffee. Can you please tell me where I can find the lid clip or the lid with the clip? Kindest, Zally
