Coffee does not brew

Coffee Maker has worked fine for a couple of months. Now, put the ground coffee in, put the water in, turn on, nothing happens.

Thanks,

Same Problem

Jan 21, 2009

-   I have this same coffee pot, this is actually my second one from Gevalia in the last 8 years, which was one of the reasons I went with them again last month. However, te new coffee maker, turns on but does not brew the coffee. I have tried everything from cleaning it, removing all the parts and reseting the device. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks-   ddandaneau

-   Similar problem. Krups FME 2 coffee maker. Problem is intermittent and sometimes it begins brewing right away, sometimes it doesn't brew at all, and sometimes it begins brewing minutes/hours after "starting." New duo filter and have descaled recently. Heating plate never warms and there is never any audible sign that hot water is being pumped (no steam, etc.).. Thanks!

-   SLOW / PARTIAL BREWING

Our Mr. Coffee has been working fine since purchased within last couple of months, but just today the hot water just trickled through the coffee filter. We used filtered water and being in Hawaii, hard water deposits were most likely not the problem. We use paper towels and napkins to dry reservior after use to prevent mold/mildew.

Finally figured out that paper bits and pieces clogged the perculator hole...simply used our vacuum with slat attachment to **** that clog out...multiple cleanings with CLK and other solvents probably eventually desolve the paper clot, but way easier to **** it out.-   dinoshim

The thermal breaker has died in it. This is usually mounted on, or near the heating elementm and usually turns off when excessive temperatures are present (such as when a pot boils dry, or the unit is left on for days) It can be checked with a ohm meter on its contacts. If it shows as good, it should show up as normally closed. Some overtemp breakers have a small button for resetting, but most are simply supposed to reset themselves once the heat is sufficiently reduced. There are also heat fuses that blow...for good when excessive heat is detected, mounted in the same place, they are often a metal bullet shaped tube.
OR.....your power cord...or main power switch could also be faulty.

Those thermal (heat) fuses can be checked with an ohmeter. It should show continuity, meaning 0-10 Ohms. If it's "open", you won't see any value registered on the meter, nothing will happen when u put the test leads on either side of the fuse.
If u replace it, make sure to use the same temp rating, it's written on the fuse, usually in centigrade. Don't replace the bad one with another that's rated to trip at a higher temp. Really.
Either crimp the fuses wire ends to the old leads or tack solder them, using something as a heat sink between the solder point and the fuse. Tack soldering is pre-applying a little solder to each end before you connect them, then quickly melting each end together. The key is withdrawing the soldering iron the second the joint melts. You don't want to trip the new fuse with the heat from the soldering iron.

On my Crystal Arome I had the same problem mentioned here or elsewhere. The ceramic thermal fuse is a simple thing. Look inside the fuse. If yours like mine you'll see some black carbonization near the top middle electrical contact impeding continuity. Scrape it away w/ a dental pick or paper click or something and you should be able to restore continuity. Mine has worked for tens of cups since.

FOR SLOW / PARTIAL BREWING

Just had this problem this morning...I typically use a napkin or paper towel to dry the reservior after use...apparently, bits n' pieces of paper clogged the little hole at the bottom of the reservior restricting/preventing water to perculate thru...simply took our vacuum with the hose and slat attachment and sucked that clog out.

I just fixed the same problem on my KF 580 (none of the green or red lights was coming on when the button was pushed). It was done by holding the power button and at the same time disconnecting the power cord from the plug and reconnecting it.

We had the same problem and it turned out to be a clogged filter.  It doesn't seem clogged but it is.  We tried using the 2 cup filter basket and it worked just fine. I called Breville and they sent me a new filter basket free of charge. We have had great experiences with Breville customer support.

When the unit is cold.
Turn on and with no coffee in,
Press the coffee brew button and turn the steam dial to full.
Watch the water come out of coffee area and steam wand.
This primes the pump and makes sure lines are clean.
Then turn off steam wand and press coffee brew button to stop.

Wait for it to heat up.

Should now work.

I have to do this if I leave th machine for more than a few weeks.

Make sure whenever you've finished using it to flush water through the whole thing using brew button with steam wand in to have it primed for next use. Running some water through before your next brew if machine left for a day or two is also a good idea otherwise the water can add a stale taste to the coffee from sitting in the lines.



Cheers.

I have had the same problem and have found that it just needs to be cleaned it seems the part that makes the water come down to the pot does not work I put a diluted version of CLR or Baking soda and ran it through a few times, I have learned not to wait until it screws up and clean it every month to avoid this, as you said just turn it on one morning and no coffee, I feel this is crap though after all these years in the business they can't get a coffee maker to work for extended periods and the ones I buy are NOT CHEAP

CoffeeMaker lights up but does not brew. Tried everything, nothing heats up.

Comment by rjcipperly, posted on Aug 11, 2008

Same problem.somewhat intermittent......when I check all the connections at the base, it works fine the first time.then, nothing......how about if I just bypass the thermal breaker....will that tell me if it is defective if the machine works OK?....most cheaper coffee makers don't have the breaker at all and this has a auto off switch after an hour (or more) so i am not to worried....thanks

only a few months old. Pot started 'gurgleing' and takes water stops passing over grounds. I've had other Mr. Coffed pot for years but never had a problem. Time to try something else

Comment by Guest, posted on Aug 01, 2008

After water and coffee is is put into the filter, the button is pushed and it takes 1 hour 10 minutes for the water to go through and the 3 cups of coffee to brew.  We have had it with Sunbeam products and are purchasing another brand tonight.

ADX20 light on but no heat. 2 thermal fuses in series both check fine with ohmmeter. A small 3/8" diameter thermostat?? appears to be defective.
I am currently trying to find a replacement part but not sure exactly what this part is.

no coffee coming out

Comment by kq277, posted on Jun 24, 2008

My coffee maker stopped working (i.e. nothing happens when you press the "on" button) after less than a year. I have tried to get in touch with the manufacturer, because there is supposed to be a 2-year warranty, but phonecalls are not answered and the e-mail address they provide on the answering machine is not accurate. How can we contact the manufacturer? And would this situation be covered under warranty?

Same problem but I have a brewing sound and then after 15-20 seconds the brewing sound starts to slow down then stop. Nothing brews, not a drop. I cleaned everything out and tried again and the same thing happens. I have only had the machine for 3 months. The espresso side works fine. Please help! Thanks!

Hi

My coffee maker is grinding the beans and then begins the coffee process - it will stop with only two or three cups made instead of the whole pot. I have to continually resart the process until all the water is gone. Initially, we had water overflows and found that the coffee maker did not complete its full cycle. Is there a reset button or something? Don

Comment by Guest, posted on Dec 31, 2007

worked fine up until last few days. Reset by unplugging and plugging back in. Plenty of H2o in unit. Put K-cup in unit- when I push start it doesn't brew coffee. No water comes out. Unit indicates that it is heating fine. Can you help. I have also tried using another electrical outlet.

Comment by dsrich, posted on Dec 31, 2007
