Possible Causes

Faulty power outlet, Blown internal fuse on control board, Broken power cord, Failed on/off rocker switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before opening any covers.

Steps to try:

  • Verify outlet: Test the wall outlet with another appliance. Reset any tripped breaker or GFCI.
  • Inspect cord: Check the Bodum cord for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Replace if damaged.
  • Check switch: Toggle the on/off switch several times. If it feels loose or does not click, it may be faulty.
  • Internal fuse (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and look for a small glass or ceramic fuse on the control board or near the cord entry. Test and replace with the exact same rating if blown.

If replacing the fuse results in it blowing again immediately, there is a deeper short circuit that requires professional diagnosis.
