How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool before touching the warming plate.
Steps:
- Verify function: Brew a pot of coffee and leave the machine on. After 10–15 minutes, carefully feel near (not directly on) the warming plate to see if it is warming.
- Check settings: Some Capresso models allow turning the warming plate off or adjusting its time. Confirm it is enabled.
- Inspect for damage: Look for cracks or discoloration on the warming plate surface.
- Internal inspection (advanced): With the bottom cover removed (unplugged), check wiring to the warming plate and thermostat for burns or disconnections.
- Replace components: A failed warming plate or thermostat must be replaced with the correct Capresso parts.
