I've had my krups for about 7 years now (and love it!). Lately, I have been experiencing problems with the automatic shut off. It does not shut off and I have to unplug the machine fearing I may burn it.
I suspect the problem is the electronic clock mechanism which controls the timer on/off and auto shut off functions. Does anybody know if they sell this part? My second guess is that this piece cannot be repaired.
Hi George here is solution I posted for another person:
you need to replace circuit board that has timer and auto shut-off I have same problem krups doesn't think it is a safety issue because the coffee maker has a thermal switch. But I still think it is. Also if you are not carefull when you fill with water it will steem back in your face! SmallAppliance.com has special order replacement boards. I will be replacing mine

My Krups coffeemaker has stopped brewing a full pot of coffee. I fill the reservoir completely, but when the machine is done brewing, 1/2 of the water is still in the reservoir. The fill indicator shows empty, and if I turn the machine back on to complete the brew, it acts as if it is empty. The half pot that it makes is fine, but I don't know why it won't make the whole pot.

I love this coffee pot and would love it even more if I could set the timer for it to make coffee in the morning. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Cathy
