Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool before touching the hot plate.

Check keep-warm setting: Ensure the Kenwood model's keep-warm function is enabled and not set to 0 minutes.
Test with fresh brew: Brew a fresh pot and check if the plate warms within a few minutes.
Service if cold: If the plate remains cold, the element or thermostat is likely faulty and requires professional replacement.
