Braun Insufficient Warming Plate Heating

Coffee maker does not keep coffee hot; warming plate is cool or only slightly warm.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed warming plate element, Faulty thermostat, Loose wiring to hot plate, Auto‑off timer set too short

Safety: Allow the plate to cool before touching if it has been on.

Check settings: Confirm the keep‑warm or AUTO OFF time is not set to zero or very short.
Test plate temperature: After brewing, carefully feel near (not directly on) the plate to see if it is heating at all.
Try different outlet: Rule out low voltage or intermittent power issues.

If the plate never heats or is barely warm despite correct settings, the element or thermostat is likely faulty and needs replacement.
