How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker before any internal inspection. Do not bypass safety fuses.

  • 1. Check outlet: Test the wall outlet with another device. Reset any tripped breaker or GFCI.
  • 2. Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, frays, or burn marks. If damaged, replace the cord set.
  • 3. Access internal fuse: Remove the base or rear panel and locate the inline fuse or board-mounted fuse. Test for continuity with a multimeter. Replace only with the same rating.
  • 4. Check board power input: Verify that line voltage reaches the control board. If it does and the unit is still dead, the board is likely faulty.
  • 5. Replace control board: Install a new GE main control board matched to your model if the original shows no signs of life.
