How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool before touching the warming plate.

  • Check carafe contact: Ensure the carafe is properly seated on the warming plate. Some models only heat when the carafe is detected.
  • Test with fresh brew: Brew a small batch and immediately feel (carefully) near the warming plate area without touching it directly. After 5–10 minutes, the area around the plate should feel warm.
  • Inspect for damage: Look for visible cracks or discoloration on the warming plate surface, which can indicate overheating or failure.
  • Do not disassemble plate: The warming plate is directly connected to mains voltage. Do not attempt to remove or test it unless you are qualified.
  • Professional repair: If the LO indication persists and the plate does not heat, the warming plate heater or its thermostat must be replaced by a technician.
