Possible Causes

Brewed without water in reservoir, Failed thermal fuse on heater, Stuck heater relay on control board, Excessive scale causing localized overheating

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug immediately if you smell burning or see smoke. Allow the unit to cool fully.

Check for user conditions:

  • Confirm the reservoir has adequate water before brewing.
  • Inspect the warming plate for discoloration or warping that may indicate overheating.

Reset attempt:

  • Unplug for at least 30 minutes to allow any internal thermal cutout to reset (if self-resetting type).
  • Refill with water and attempt a brew. If ERR2 returns instantly, internal protection may be permanently tripped.

Internal inspection (advanced):

  • Remove the bottom cover and locate the thermal fuse attached to the heater tube or plate.
  • If the fuse appears burnt or open (requires multimeter to confirm), it must be replaced with the exact temperature and current rating.

Because overheating can be a fire risk, if ERR2 persists or the thermal fuse is blown, have the heater assembly and control board inspected or replaced by a professional.
