How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before removing the bottom cover.
- Check operation: After brewing, feel near (not directly on) the warming plate to see if it warms at all. If completely cold, proceed to inspection.
- Inspect wiring: Remove the bottom cover and check for loose or disconnected wires to the warming plate.
- Test continuity (advanced): Use a multimeter to test the warming plate element and thermostat. Replace any open components.
- Board diagnosis: If components test good, the control board may not be sending power to the plate and may need replacement.
