Possible Causes
Failed heating element in boiler tank, Faulty temperature sensor (thermistor), Open high-limit thermostat, Loose wiring to heater
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the brewer and allow it to cool completely before opening any panels. Risk of electric shock and burns.
- Power reset: Unplug the unit for 10 minutes, then plug back in and test. This can clear minor control glitches.
- Listen for heating activity: When first powered, you should hear faint boiling or feel warmth on the side of the internal tank (do not open the case while plugged in). No heat suggests a heater circuit issue.
- Check for tripped GFCI: If the outlet is on a GFCI circuit, reset it and test again.
- Internal checks (technician level): With the case removed and unit unplugged, test continuity of the heating element, high-limit thermostat, and thermistor with a multimeter. Replace any open components.
- If you are not experienced with mains voltage: Do not attempt internal heater repairs. Contact a qualified appliance technician or Keurig support.
