Possible Causes

Open heating element, Burned heater wiring, Failed heater relay on control board, Blown internal fuse

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool. Do not attempt to run it while covers are removed.

Basic checks:

  • Confirm the outlet has power by testing with another appliance.
  • Try a different outlet to rule out a bad receptacle.

Internal inspection (advanced DIY):

  • Remove the bottom cover to access the heater tube or plate.
  • Inspect wiring for burns, breaks, or loose connectors.
  • Look at the main control board for a burnt heater relay or traces.

If the heater element is open (requires multimeter) or wiring is damaged, the heater assembly should be replaced. If the board relay is burnt, the control board must be replaced. These repairs are complex and often not cost-effective compared to replacement of the coffee maker.
