Possible Causes
Overheating triggering thermal cutoff, Loose internal power connector, Failing control board, Faulty power switch contacts
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool fully before further use.
- Improve ventilation: Move the unit away from walls or cabinets to allow better airflow. Avoid placing it under low-hanging cupboards where steam accumulates.
- Check for moisture: Wipe away any condensation around the control panel and lid. Excess steam can affect electronics.
- Test on a different outlet: Plug directly into another wall outlet to rule out loose receptacles or power strips.
- Observe pattern: If the unit always shuts off at about the same time in the brew cycle, the thermal cutoff or control board may be overly sensitive or failing.
- Professional inspection: Internal wiring, thermal cutouts, and the control board should be checked by a technician if the problem persists.
