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.
