Firmware glitch in main control PCB, Power surge or brownout, Corrupted internal memory, Shorted component on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker before any inspection.
- Power cycle: Unplug the unit for at least 10 minutes. Plug into a different outlet (preferably on a surge protector) and try again.
- Check outlet: Verify the wall outlet is properly grounded and not loose. Avoid using long extension cords or power strips with heavy loads.
- Inspect control board: If comfortable opening the unit, remove the housing to access the main control PCB. Look for burnt components, bulging capacitors, or signs of moisture damage.
- Dry moisture: If the error followed a spill, allow the interior to dry for 24 hours before reassembly.
- Resolution: Persistent ERR messages usually indicate a failing control board. Replacement of the main control PCB or the entire coffee maker is typically required.
