Swan coffee maker turns off mid-brew or randomly shuts down before the cycle is complete.

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool fully before opening any covers.

Simple checks:

• Ventilation: Ensure the coffee maker has adequate space around it and is not pushed against a wall or under low cabinets trapping steam.
• Descale: Heavy scale can cause localized overheating and early thermal cut-out. Run a full descaling cycle.

Internal inspection:

• Check the mains cord strain relief and internal connections for looseness or discoloration.
• Inspect the thermostat and thermal fuse on the heating plate for signs of heat damage.
• Gently tap the thermostat; if the unit cuts out with slight movement, the thermostat may be faulty and should be replaced.

If the problem persists after descaling and tightening connections, replacing the thermostat or control PCB is recommended.
