Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow hot surfaces to cool before cleaning spills.
Check usage:
- Ensure the carafe is empty before starting a new brew.
- Select the correct brew size that matches the carafe capacity.
Inspect drip stop:
- Verify the drip stop is fully open and not restricting flow.
- Clean the drip stop and basket as needed.
If overflow occurs even with correct settings and a clean drip path, the control board or flow sensor may be misreading volume and should be serviced.
