How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool before further use.

  • Ventilation: Ensure the Kenwood coffee maker has adequate space around it (at least a few centimeters on all sides) and is not enclosed in a tight cabinet.
  • Descale: Run a full descaling cycle to improve water flow and reduce heater stress.
  • Check for overloading: Avoid using the same outlet for multiple high-power appliances simultaneously.
  • Observe pattern: If the machine always shuts off at the same point, the thermal cut-out or PCB may be failing and should be inspected by a technician.
