Bunn uses continuous duty dispensing valves. As opposed to intermittent duty valves, they are powered all the time and use a lift voltage to move the plunger.   They fail often, and when they do they also take out the electrically unprotected CPU ( or as most techs call it the CPFuse).  Whilst doing a PM, change out the complete valves (with coil) at least once a year.   That thing has 4 valves, 2 brew and 2 bypass (The fill valve oddly enough doesn't cause that much trouble) That's probably $200 a year in parts right there, depending on where you get them.  The CPU is nearer $500.  And that's not including labor.  

 

I know the Fetco's aren't perfect either. 

 

Have you had your current machine serviced?
