Possible Causes

Shorted heater or pump, Faulty control board power latch circuit, Internal moisture causing short, Defective power button

Safety: Unplug the machine immediately if it repeatedly shuts off; do not keep cycling power.

Drying period: If the machine was recently descaled or exposed to spills, leave it unplugged in a dry, warm room for 24–48 hours to allow internal moisture to evaporate.
Test without water: After drying, plug in with the tank empty and see if it stays on (do not brew). If it still shuts off, unplug again.

Persistent immediate shutoff indicates an internal electrical fault (often heater or pump short) and should be diagnosed by a technician.
