Possible Causes

Defective warming plate thermostat, Timer setting too short, Faulty keep-warm relay on PCB, Temperature sensor on plate misreading

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow to cool before touching the plate.

  • Check timer settings: On programmable Severin models, verify the keep-warm duration setting and adjust if necessary.
  • Observe operation: After brewing, check if the plate heats at all by carefully feeling near the edge.
  • Clean plate surface: Remove burnt coffee residue that can insulate the sensor area.
  • If plate never heats or shuts off within minutes: The thermostat or control relay is likely faulty and should be replaced.
