Capresso coffee maker’s programmable timer does not start brewing at the set time.

Safety first: No special electrical risk, but unplug before extended cleaning.

Steps:

• Verify clock: Set the correct time, paying attention to AM/PM if applicable.
• Reprogram auto-brew: Follow the Capresso manual step-by-step to set the auto-brew time and ensure you press any required confirm or AUTO buttons.
• Check power stability: If you experience frequent outages, use a surge protector or avoid relying on the timer.
• Test manual brew: Confirm that manual brewing works; if it does, the issue is isolated to the timer function.
• Control board issue: If the timer never triggers despite correct programming, the control board may be faulty and require replacement.
