How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit if you see moisture inside the panel to prevent short circuits.

Dry the unit:

  • Move the coffee maker to a dry, warm room.
  • Leave unplugged for 24–48 hours to allow moisture to evaporate.

Change placement:

  • Relocate the unit so that steam can rise freely without hitting cabinets or the control panel.

If condensation repeatedly forms or the panel malfunctions, the control panel gasket or housing may be compromised and require replacement.
