Possible Causes

Failing low-voltage power supply on control board, Loose neutral or line connection, Shorted display backlight circuit, Degraded electrolytic capacitors on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the coffee maker before opening. Capacitors can hold charge; discharge safely if necessary.

  • 1. Check external power:
    • Test the outlet for proper voltage and ensure no extension cords or power strips are overloaded.
  • 2. Inspect internal connections:
    • Remove the rear or bottom cover to access the main control PCB.
    • Verify that all spade and plug connectors are fully seated and not discolored from heat.
  • 3. Examine the power supply section:
    • On the control board, locate the low-voltage power supply (transformer or switching supply, rectifier, and capacitors).
    • Look for bulging or leaking electrolytic capacitors and burnt resistors.
    • Replace any visibly damaged components or the entire control board if component-level repair is not practical.
  • 4. Check display backlight circuit:
    • If the backlight flickers heavily, inspect the LED driver components and ribbon cable to the display.
    • Reseat the ribbon cable and replace the display module if the backlight is shorting.
  • 5. Reassemble and test:
    • Reinstall covers, plug in, and run a full brew cycle to confirm stable operation and that E08 does not return.
