Auto-brew (programmed start) does not work; the coffee maker never starts at the scheduled time.

Safety: No internal work is needed for basic checks; unplug before any disassembly.

• 1. Verify clock and program:
  • Set the correct current time on the display.
  • Program the auto-brew time and ensure the auto-brew indicator is lit.
• 2. Check for power loss:
  • Ensure the coffee maker remains plugged in and is not on a switched outlet that turns off overnight.
• 3. Test manual brew:
  • Confirm that manual brewing works; if not, address start circuit issues first.
• 4. Inspect control board:
  • If the clock resets frequently or cannot keep time, the RTC circuit on the control board may be faulty; replace the main control PCB.
