Possible Causes
Stuck relay or triac on control board, Shorted wiring, Faulty power switch, Miswired replacement board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker immediately if the warming plate will not turn off. Do not leave it unattended.
- Confirm control setting: Ensure all buttons are off and no keep-warm or auto-on functions are active.
- Inspect for damage (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and look for signs of burning or melted insulation near the warming plate wiring.
- Test switch: Verify that the main power switch is functioning correctly and not stuck closed.
- Replace control board: A stuck relay or triac on the main control PCB is the most common cause and requires board replacement.
