Coffee maker powers on but will not start brewing when START is pressed.

Safety first: Unplug the unit if you need to move or tilt it.

• Check carafe: Ensure the carafe is fully inserted and its lid is properly aligned. Some Wolf Gourmet models will not brew unless the carafe is in place.
• Verify brew basket: Remove and reinstall the brew basket, making sure it is fully seated and the lid (if present) is closed.
• Drip-stop position: Confirm that the drip-stop mechanism is not stuck in the closed position. Move it gently and clean any dried coffee residue.
• Control lock: Check the user manual to see if your model has a control lock or child lock feature. If so, disable it according to the instructions.
• If inputs still unresponsive: The start button or touch panel membrane may be failing, or the control board may not be reading the input. Professional service is recommended.
