How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before inspecting power connections.
Steps:
- Check cord and outlet: Ensure the plug is firmly inserted and the cord is not being pulled or bent sharply.
- Ventilation: Make sure the coffee maker has adequate space around it for ventilation and is not enclosed in a tight cabinet.
- Descale: Overheating due to scale can trip thermal protection. Run a descaling cycle.
- Observe pattern: If shutoff occurs only when very hot, the thermal cutoff or thermostat may be overly sensitive or failing.
- Repair: Replace a faulty power switch, thermal cutoff, or control board as needed.
