Can't open swing arm to fill with coffee

Well I can tell you that your heating element and the connection that plugs into your electrical cord certainly shorted out. After going through some consumer reviews that particular model is not too well spoken of and has caused considerable problems from spill overs, leaking internally (not good for electrical connections) and operation as a whole. There are several forums that you can read actual customer comments such as your own. For the price of what that one costs at a discount I do not know whether your best solution is to get it fixed. Since it is relatively new I would get on the internet and google coffeemakers in general and you will get a good idea for a more reliable and safer replacement.
