Possible Causes
Overheating causing thermal cut-out, Loose mains connection inside unit, Faulty power switch, Failing control board relay
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the machine and allow it to cool.
Steps:
- Ventilation: Ensure the coffee maker has adequate space around it and is not enclosed in a cabinet where heat builds up.
- Descale: Overheating due to scale can trigger thermal protection. Run a full descaling cycle.
- Check power cord and plug: Wiggle the cord gently at the plug and machine end (while unplugged) to feel for looseness. Replace if suspect.
- Internal inspection (advanced): Open the housing and check for loose spade connectors on the power switch, heater, and PCB. Reseat any loose connections.
