Possible Causes
Stuck relay or triac on control board, Faulty warming plate thermostat, Control logic error not ending keep-warm cycle, Shorted plate wiring
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker when not in use to prevent overheating or fire risk.
- Observe keep-warm duration: Check the manual for the expected keep-warm time (often 30–120 minutes). If it exceeds this, there is likely a fault.
- Manual shutoff: Turn the unit off immediately after brewing if you notice the plate staying hot too long.
- Reset control: Unplug for 10 minutes to reset the control board, then test again.
If the plate continues to stay on beyond the programmed time, discontinue use and have the control board and thermostat inspected.
