Possible Causes

Lid or basket switch opening when pump starts, Loose internal connector, Control board detecting fault but not displaying code, Over-sensitive thermal sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before inspecting switches or wiring.

  • Secure lid and basket: Close the lid firmly and ensure the basket is fully seated. Hold the lid down gently while starting a brew to see if it stays on.
  • Check carafe position: Make sure the carafe is correctly placed to engage any drip-stop mechanism.
  • Observe pattern: Note whether the unit always shuts off at the same moment (e.g., when pump starts). This can help identify which circuit is triggering shutdown.
  • Inspect internal connectors (advanced): Remove the housing (unplugged) and check that all switch and sensor connectors are firmly attached to the control board.

If the unit continues to abort immediately, the control board or a safety sensor may be faulty and require replacement.
