How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool before inspection.
- 1. Check for power interruptions: Ensure the cord is firmly plugged in and not loose. Avoid using loose power strips.
- 2. Descale the unit: Mineral buildup can cause overheating and early shutoff. Run a full descaling cycle.
- 3. Inspect thermostat and thermal fuse: Access the heater assembly and check the thermostat and thermal fuse for signs of overheating. Test continuity and replace if defective.
- 4. Observe control board: If the unit loses all power mid-brew and then comes back, the control board relay or power supply may be failing and should be replaced.
