Possible Causes

Bent carafe warming plate, debris under the carafe, misaligned carafe-sensing lever (on models with a safety switch), warped carafe base.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure the unit is off and cool before adjusting the carafe or hotplate.

  • Clean hotplate: Remove any coffee residue or debris from the hotplate surface.
  • Check carafe base: Inspect the bottom of the carafe for warping or damage. Replace if it does not sit flat.
  • Inspect sensing lever (if equipped): Some models have a lever that detects the presence of the carafe. Ensure it moves freely and is not bent. Gently bend back into position if misaligned.
