Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker before any inspection.
Basic checks:
- Verify the outlet works by testing with another appliance.
- Check that any GFCI outlet or breaker has not tripped.
- Inspect the power cord for cuts, burns, or kinks.
Internal checks (advanced):
- Remove the bottom or rear cover to access the internal fuse and power entry wiring.
- Test the fuse with a multimeter; replace only with the same rating if blown.
- Inspect the main control board for burn marks or swollen components.
If replacing the fuse does not restore power or the board is visibly damaged, the main control board or power cord assembly will need replacement. If you are not comfortable working with mains voltage, contact a professional technician.
