Auto-brew (programmed start) does not start at the set time, though manual brewing works.

Safety first: No internal hazards for basic checks, but unplug before opening the unit.

• Verify settings: Double-check the clock time, AM/PM, and that the auto-brew icon or indicator is lit after programming.
• Reprogram from scratch: Clear existing programs (if possible) and set a new time a few minutes ahead to test.
• Check button function: Ensure the program and auto-on buttons respond and light as expected; if not, the keypad may be faulty.

If manual brew works but auto-brew never starts despite correct programming, the control board's timer logic is likely defective.
