Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker. Do not repeatedly restart if it shuts off unexpectedly.
Check outlet and cord:
- Test another appliance in the same outlet.
- Inspect the cord and plug for damage.
Descale:
- Run a descaling cycle to reduce overheating from scale buildup.
Internal inspection (advanced):
- Inspect the heating element, thermal fuse, and control board for signs of overheating or shorts.
If the unit consistently shuts off mid-brew, a failing heating element or control board is likely and should be replaced.
