T-fal Erratic Control / Ghost Touches

Coffee maker randomly turns itself on or off without user input.

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

Moisture on touch panel, Faulty capacitive touch sensor, Control board firmware glitch, Electrical interference from nearby devices

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker if it behaves unpredictably to avoid overheating or fire risk.

Dry the panel: Wipe the control panel dry and ensure no condensation or spills are present.
Move away from interference: Keep the coffee maker away from strong RF sources (e.g., routers placed directly behind it) and high-current appliances.
Reset: Unplug for 15 minutes to reset the control electronics.

If random on/off behavior continues, the touch sensor or control board is likely defective and should be replaced.
