Possible Causes

Corrupted control board firmware, Failed clock crystal or timing IC, Power surge damage to logic circuit, Stuck control panel buttons causing logic errors

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before opening the control panel.

  • 1. Power reset:
    • Unplug the coffee maker for at least 5 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge.
    • Plug back in and attempt to set the clock and timer again.
  • 2. Check control panel buttons:
    • Inspect the front membrane keypad for stuck or damaged buttons.
    • Press each button individually to ensure it returns freely.
    • If buttons are unresponsive or stuck, replace the control panel / keypad assembly.
  • 3. Inspect control board timing components:
    • Remove the front panel to access the main control PCB.
    • Look for a small crystal oscillator near the microcontroller; check for physical damage or broken solder joints.
    • Resolder any cracked joints or replace the board if the timing circuit is defective.
  • 4. Firmware reset (if available):
    • Some models allow a factory reset by holding specific buttons (e.g., "Program" + "Auto" for 10 seconds). Refer to the service documentation.
  • 5. Replace control board if needed:
    • If E10 persists and the clock cannot be set or keeps resetting, replace the main control PCB.
