Coffee maker does not keep coffee hot; coffee cools quickly on the warming plate.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed warming plate element, Faulty warming thermostat, Temperature sensor misreading, Poor contact between carafe and plate

Safety first: Beware of hot surfaces when testing.

Check plate temperature: After brewing, carefully hover your hand above the plate. It should feel clearly warm.
Ensure proper contact: Make sure the carafe bottom is clean and flat, and that it sits fully on the plate.
Test with empty plate: With no carafe, turn on the keep-warm function and see if the plate heats within a few minutes.
If no heat: The warming plate element or warming thermostat is likely faulty and should be replaced.
