KitchenAid Voltage Drop / Loose Electrical Connection

Display or indicator lights flicker or dim during brewing.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Weak household circuit, Loose internal wiring connector, Failing power supply on control board, Corroded spade terminals on heater

Check outlet and circuit:

Plug the coffee maker into a different outlet on a separate circuit from other high-draw appliances.

Inspect cord and plug:

Internal inspection (advanced):

With the unit unplugged, open the housing and inspect all wiring connectors, especially to the heater and control board.
Reseat any loose connectors and replace any burnt or corroded terminals.

If flickering persists, the control board power supply may be failing and should be replaced.
