Unit trips the household circuit breaker or GFCI outlet when brewing.

Safety: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Unplug the coffee maker immediately.

• 1. Inspect power cord:
  • Check for cuts, crushed sections, or exposed wires; replace the cord if damaged.
• 2. Check for water intrusion:
  • Look for leaks around the heater, pump, and control board.
  • Dry any moisture and repair leaks before further testing.
• 3. Test heater for ground fault:
  • With the unit unplugged, measure resistance between each heater terminal and chassis ground.
  • If there is continuity (low resistance), the heater is shorted and must be replaced.
• 4. Inspect control board:
  • Look for burnt or carbonized areas that could cause shorts; replace the board if found.
• 5. If unsure, contact a professional:
  • Working with ground faults and mains voltage is hazardous; a qualified technician is recommended.
