How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and let it cool before accessing the base.
- Check keep-warm setting: Ensure the keep-warm function is enabled and not set to 0 minutes on programmable Morphy Richards models.
- Test with fresh brew: Start a new brew cycle and check if the plate warms during and after brewing.
- Inspect wiring (advanced): Remove the base cover and check the wiring from the main PCB to the hot plate. Look for loose connectors or burnt wires.
- Test element continuity (advanced): Use a multimeter to test the hot plate element for continuity. If open, replace the hot plate assembly.
If wiring and element are intact, the thermostat or control PCB relay may be faulty and should be replaced by a technician.
