Possible Causes

Misaligned lid switch actuator, Broken lid microswitch, Faulty carafe sensor switch, Damaged switch wiring harness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the coffee maker before accessing switches.

  • 1. Verify lid and carafe position:
    • Ensure the brew basket lid is fully closed and latched.
    • Confirm the glass carafe is seated correctly on the warming plate.
  • 2. Inspect lid switch:
    • Open the top cover to locate the lid microswitch and its plastic actuator.
    • Check for broken plastic tabs or misalignment that prevents the switch from being fully depressed.
    • Manually press the switch; you should hear a distinct click.
    • Test the switch with a multimeter for continuity when pressed. Replace if it does not change state.
  • 3. Inspect carafe sensor:
    • Some Frigidaire models use a small switch or optical sensor under the warming plate.
    • Remove the bottom cover and locate the carafe presence switch.
    • Test for continuity when the plate is pressed (simulating carafe weight). Replace the switch if it fails.
  • 4. Check wiring:
    • Follow the switch harness back to the control board and ensure connectors are tight and wires are not broken.
  • 5. Reassemble and test:
    • Reinstall covers, plug in, and test by closing the lid and placing the carafe. E06 should clear and brewing should start.
