How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Verify the outlet with another appliance before assuming the coffee maker is faulty. Never open the unit while it is plugged in.

  • Check outlet and breaker: Plug a lamp or phone charger into the same outlet to confirm power. Reset any tripped circuit breakers or GFCI outlets.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, kinks, or burn marks on the cord and plug. If damaged, do not use the machine.
  • Try a different outlet: Plug the coffee maker directly into a known‑good wall outlet, avoiding extension cords and power strips.
  • Check power switch: On models with a physical rocker switch, ensure it is in the ON position and feels normal (not loose or stuck).
  • Stop before opening: If there is still no sign of life, the internal fuse or control board is likely failed. Replacing these requires opening the housing and working with mains voltage; contact a professional technician or OXO support.
