Possible Causes

Failed NTC sensor on warming plate, Open thermal fuse on plate, Loose wiring to plate, Faulty control PCB temperature monitoring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and allow the warming plate to cool fully.

  • Check for physical damage: Inspect the warming plate surface for cracks, warping, or burn marks. Do not use the unit if the plate is damaged.
  • Clean plate surface: Wipe off any burnt coffee or residue that could cause uneven heating. Use a damp cloth only when the plate is cool.
  • Reset by power cycle: After cooling, plug in and test. If H03 appears immediately, the plate sensor or fuse is likely open.
  • Professional service: Replacing the warming plate sensor or thermal fuse requires opening the base and working with mains wiring. This should be done by a qualified technician.
