GE Appliances Low Brew Temperature

Coffee is not hot enough immediately after brewing.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Underpowered heating element, Faulty thermostat, Scale on heater reducing heat transfer, Incorrect voltage supply

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before internal checks.

1. Preheat carafe: Rinse the carafe with hot water before brewing to reduce heat loss.
2. Descale: Run a descaling cycle to improve heat transfer from the heater to the water.
3. Verify voltage: Ensure the coffee maker is connected to a proper 120V outlet and not a long undersized extension cord.
4. Test heater and thermostat (advanced): If coffee remains lukewarm, test the heater and thermostat for proper operation and replace if defective.
