Possible Causes

Clock not set correctly, AM/PM misconfigured, Internal timer circuit fault on control PCB, User programming error

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure dry hands when using the control panel.

  • Verify clock: Set the correct current time, paying attention to AM/PM indicators.
  • Reprogram auto-brew: Clear previous settings and follow the manual to set the desired brew time. Confirm that the AUTO or PROGRAM indicator is lit.
  • Test next day: Fill reservoir and load coffee the night before, then confirm if auto-brew starts at the set time.
  • Control issue: If manual brew works but auto-brew never starts despite correct settings, the timer circuit on the control PCB may be defective and require board replacement.
