I just bought a Black & Decker TCM700 Coffee Maker, and it worked fine for 2 weeks. Now, the lights & digital readout work, but it will not heat the water either on "Brew" or "Auto-On".
Q: How can I diagnose the problem & fix it? Thanks!
-   Sometimes there are no thermal resistors (thermal fuses) just the cutoff switch. Make sure there is contact between the switch and the outside of the heating tube. There should be some di-electric grease or heat sink grease in between where they contact each other. That small amount of grease helps in heat transfer.-   Rambo_2
All coffe makers have a thermal cutoff fuse located on the bottom heating plate. It is usually in series with one of the leads to the actual heater. This should read "short" with an ohm meter. If it is "open" it needs replacement. They are rated in Degrees celsius, and are sometimes difficult to find. Black and Decker may be able to send you one.

This is a thermal carafe, thus it does not have a heating plate!!!!!

I love my large 6 cup Chambord Stovetop Espresso Maker, it works perfectly every time. Why can't I get the smaller 3 cup espresso maker to work as well? I do the same thing for each but the smaller espresso maker almost NEVER works and I hate it! What is the deal?

I'm having trouble descaling my machine,
the booklet says to remove the portafilter (I assume the filter) and the steam wand (no Idea how to).
If anyone would be able to provide assistance it would be appreciated.

Now have this B&D coffee maker but had the same problem with other brands. One out of every 5 or 6 times it works fine, but the rest of the time it will start, then after a cup or so it will sputter like it is finishing up, but it isn't. It will sputter along for 20 minutes or so and finally finish the 8 cups of water. If I "plunge" the intake hole with my finger it will push the water through for a little bit, then go back to sputtering. I can't find my receipt so I'm stuck with this and would like get it working. Help would be appreciated.
