Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker when not in use to prevent overheating or fire risk.
- Verify timer settings: Confirm that the auto-off time is set correctly and that you are not in a manual “always on” mode.
- Observe behavior: After the programmed time, check if the display indicates off while the plate remains hot. This suggests a hardware fault.
- Do not leave unattended: Until repaired, do not leave the coffee maker plugged in and unattended.
- Professional repair: A stuck relay or thermostat requires internal access and replacement of the affected component by a qualified technician.
