Possible Causes

Faulty thermistor on single-serve heater, Loose thermistor connector, Damaged wiring harness to single-serve control board, Control board sensor circuit failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the FlexBrew and let it cool completely.

Reset attempt:

  • Unplug for 10–15 minutes, then plug back in and try a single-serve brew with water only.

Inspect single-serve base (advanced):

  • Remove screws from the single-serve side bottom cover.
  • Locate the single-serve heater block and attached thermistor.
  • Check that the thermistor plug is fully seated on the board and that wires are not pinched or broken.

If E1 persists and wiring appears intact, the thermistor or control board is likely defective and should be replaced by a service technician.
