Coffee maker turns off mid-brew and restarts or loses time settings intermittently.

Safety first: Unplug before opening the housing.

• Check external power: Avoid using extension cords or power strips. Plug directly into a wall outlet.
• Inspect cord and plug: Wiggle the cord gently while the unit is on (use caution). If the display flickers, replace the power cord.
• Internal inspection (advanced): Remove covers and check all spade connectors and wire nuts for tightness. Resolder any visibly cracked joints on the control board, especially at the power input.
• Monitor for overheating: If shutdowns occur only after long brews, the thermal cutout may be tripping due to poor ventilation or failing components. Clean vents and consider replacing the thermostat or thermal fuse.
