Possible Causes
Weak household circuit or shared high-load devices, Loose power cord connection, Failing heating element drawing excessive current, Faulty control board power regulation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Check outlet and circuit:
- Plug the coffee maker into a dedicated outlet not shared with microwaves, toasters, or other high-draw appliances.
- Avoid using long extension cords or power strips.
Inspect cord and plug:
- Check for heat, discoloration, or looseness at the plug.
If flickering persists on a good circuit, internal components such as the heating element or control board may be failing and should be inspected or replaced by a technician.
