How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Verify the outlet with another appliance before assuming the coffee maker is faulty. Always unplug before inspection.

  • Check external power:
    • Test a lamp or phone charger in the same outlet.
    • Reset any tripped GFCI or breaker.
  • Inspect power cord:
    • Look for cuts, frays, or burn marks along the cord.
    • If damaged, discontinue use immediately.
  • Try a different outlet:
    • Move the coffee maker to a known-good outlet without a power strip.

If there is still no sign of life, an internal fuse, switch, or control board has likely failed. Accessing and replacing these components involves mains voltage and should be done by a qualified technician.
