PRX20 Coffee Maker - Mr Coffe

It is supposed to hold the coffe hot for 59 minutes , no more . After that it shuts off , fire hazard . Then you are supposed to wash it and make new coffe . Coffe after one hour tastes burnt , no good . Always make fresh new coffe .

Probably the failure of another Chinese thermal fuse. Your coffee maker should still be warranteed.

My Mr Coffee is less than 2 years old. It beeps 5 times but won't brew. I decided to use my electrical engineering degree to help tackle the problem. Seems the problem lies in the pot warmer thermal switch which controls the power to the warming element. The switch is open but should be closed since the element is cold. I ordered a new switch. In the mean time, since it appears that the switch is a simple bimetal switch and perhaps stuck open, I tapped it several times with the end of my screw driver. That solved the problem for the time being. When the switch fails and tapping it doesn't work, I'll replace the switch.

Google "Bialetti parts".

usually you would put one less scoop of coffee than water. so if you want 12 cups of coffee you put 12 cups of water and 11 tablespoons of coffee

3 beeps means plugged water line. Take off the bottom of the coffee maker with a small phillips head screwdriver. Use pliers (I used needle nose type) to remove the wire clamps holding on the silicone water tubes to the hot plate. In my case, the water line from the reservoir to the plate was clogged with something I couldn't see until I blew on the hose and it popped out, could have been scale, grounds etc Clean with vinegar. Back in service!

Am unable to locate a replacement switch I will trash this 1 1/2 year old coffee maker and buy a new one. IT WILL NOT BE A MR COFFEE one.

I never really use this coffe maker. someone gave it to me. and i am not sure how to set the timer to have the coffee ready when we get up in the morning.

If your coffee maker is under a year old, take it to a authorized service center for free repair or replacement.If its over a year then the complete heating element assembly must be replaced.However, this part is only available to authorized service centers and is not sold to consumers.

It is probily the thermal switch between hot wire and element. Check to see if you are getting power through this switch.
