How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker before any inspection. Do not attempt live electrical testing unless qualified.

  • 1. Verify outlet
    • Test the outlet with another appliance or a lamp.
    • If the outlet is controlled by a switch or GFCI, ensure it is on and not tripped.
  • 2. Inspect power cord
    • Check the entire length of the cord for cuts, burns, or crushed sections.
    • If damaged, the cord must be replaced; do not tape or splice it.
  • 3. Try a different outlet
    • Plug the coffee maker into a known-good outlet without an extension cord.
  • 4. Internal fuse check (advanced)
    • Unplug the unit and remove the bottom or rear cover.
    • Locate the internal fuse on the main PCB and inspect for a broken filament.
    • Replace only with the same rating if blown.
  • 5. Board replacement
    • If the fuse is good and there is still no power, the main control board or power supply components are likely faulty and should be replaced by a technician.
