How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker when not in use to prevent overheating or fire risk.
- 1. Verify auto-off settings: Some GE models allow changing the auto-off time. Ensure it is set correctly per the manual.
- 2. Observe behavior: If the warming plate remains on indefinitely, the control board relay may be stuck closed.
- 3. Inspect thermostat: Access the warming plate thermostat and test for proper operation. Replace if it remains closed when it should open.
- 4. Replace control board: If the thermostat is good, replace the main control board to restore proper auto-off function.
