Possible Causes
Shorted heating element, Shorted triac or relay on control board, Damaged wiring causing short to chassis, Surge-damaged control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker immediately. Do not continue to operate a unit that may have an electrical short.
- 1. Visual inspection: Remove the base and inspect heater wiring for melted insulation or contact with metal parts. Correct any wiring routing issues.
- 2. Test heater resistance: Use a multimeter to check the heater. A very low resistance (near zero ohms) may indicate a shorted element that must be replaced.
- 3. Inspect control board: Look for burnt components near the heater relay or triac. If damaged, the control board must be replaced.
- 4. Replace faulty parts: Replace the heating element or control board as needed, ensuring all connections are secure and insulated.
