How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before any inspection. Heater circuit work involves dangerous voltages.
- Rule out simple issues:
- Ensure reservoir has water and lid/carafe are properly positioned.
- Listen for activity:
- When starting a brew, listen for pump or boiling sounds; silence suggests heater circuit failure.
Diagnosing requires opening the base and testing continuity of the heater and thermal fuse. This should be performed by a technician.
