How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not leave the unit unattended if it is known to overfill.
- Confirm markings: Check that you are filling to the correct cup marking and that the carafe scale matches the reservoir scale.
- Measure output: Brew a known volume (e.g., fill to 4-cup mark) and measure the output. Note any consistent overfill.
- Reset control: Unplug for 10 minutes to reset the control board, then retest.
- Replace control board: If overfill persists and is consistent, the control board's timing or sensor logic is likely faulty and should be replaced.
