Auto-brew (programmed start) does not start at the set time.

Safety first: Programming issues are low risk; no internal access needed unless hardware fault is suspected.

Verify settings:

• Set the current time accurately, paying attention to AM/PM if applicable.
• Program the auto-brew time and ensure the AUTO or DELAY indicator is lit solid.
• Make sure the carafe and filter basket are properly in place before the scheduled time.

Power stability:

• Avoid unplugging the unit or switching off the outlet before the scheduled brew.

When to replace:

• If auto-brew never triggers despite correct setup and stable power, the control PCB timer circuit may be faulty and should be replaced.
