DELAY BREW indicator flashes and the coffee maker does not start brewing immediately when expected.

Safety first: Programming issues are low risk, but always unplug the unit before opening any panels.

Check programming:

• Verify the current time is set correctly on the display.
• Reprogram the delay brew time following the user manual: typically press DELAY, set time, then press DELAY again to confirm.
• Ensure the DELAY indicator is solid (not flashing) to confirm activation.

Power cycle:

• Unplug the coffee maker for 5 minutes to reset the internal clock logic.
• Set the clock and delay brew again and test.

If delay still fails:

• The control PCB may have a memory or real-time clock fault.
• Inspect the board for corrosion or damage, especially around any backup capacitor or battery (if present).

When to replace:

• If all buttons work normally but delay brew never triggers, replace the main control PCB.
