Unfortunately replacement heater tubes/coil do not seem to be available. If anyone has a link please share.
Mine corroded through and leaks through a pinhole allowing water to flow all over the counter.

My Cuisinart chw-12 coffee pot came from a local hospital who had decided to throw it away after many years of use due to a small leak that has worsened over time. I figured I could save it, and after removing bottom cover, I discovered that there is a small pinhole link on the side of heating element due to rust and corrosion, with another forming right next to it. Hope I can find another heating element like this one!!

This is our third one and they have all stopped making water hot on the right side but still make the coffee just fine. I threw the first two away but this one is only 7 months old and quit already. How can I fix the hot water maker? Can anyone send me some advice on this?
