Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker immediately if you suspect overheating. Risk of fire or burns.
Steps:
- Stop using warming plate: Until repaired, do not leave the machine on with an empty carafe or for extended periods.
- Observe behavior: If the plate remains very hot even after the programmed keep-warm time, the control or thermostat is likely faulty.
- Internal diagnosis (advanced): With the unit unplugged, inspect the thermostat and wiring for signs of damage. A relay stuck closed on the control board may also be the cause.
- Replace faulty parts: Replace the warming plate thermostat or control board as needed. Use only OEM-rated components.
