How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Verify the outlet with another appliance before assuming the coffee maker is faulty.
- Check outlet and breaker: Plug a lamp or phone charger into the same outlet. If it does not work, reset the circuit breaker or use a different outlet.
- Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage, cuts, or melted areas. If damaged, do not plug in again.
- Try a different outlet: Avoid GFCI or switched outlets that may be off.
- Soft reset: Leave the unit unplugged for 10–15 minutes, then plug back in and look for any sign of life on the display.
- If still dead: Internal fuses, the main control board, or the power switch circuit may have failed. These require opening the unit and testing with a meter, which should be done by a qualified technician.
