Hi, it should be pumping when doing these functions.Sounds like the pump is starting to fault. The pump still might be working, but not at the correct pressure. Before replacing the pump, you would need to check the thermal cutout/overload sensor which is positioned on the boiler. Using a meter it should read (approx 12kOmhs). The boiler element could also be failing. If the machine is not hot enough, it reduces the pressures. Dazza REPAIRER

There are two small buttons in the bezel below the clock display. These are the hour and minute adjust buttons. Press the clock button, the display flashes, then you press the hour and minute buttons until the time is correct, and then press the clock button again.

would need part # off the back or bottom of coffeemaker to look for correct part # for the 4 cup carafe.

What is the mfr and model no of the machine?

Here's a few pointers:
1. Make sure that you're using an appropriate paper filter that fits your maker.
2. If you're grinding your own coffee beans, don't grind them too fine.
3. Try a smaller amount of coffee. You may be surprised that if you get it balanced, it may make stronger coffee with less grounds.
4.Cleaning can be easier if you use a small amount of automatic dishwasher powder in hot water and a veggie brush... it'll cut the coffee pretty well.
on a side note, check out a "french press" coffee pot... I just got one recently and they're incredible. If you like full bodied coffee without the bitterness... this is a really great way to make coffee. hope all these suggestions help you out today...

An ERR 2 may be cleared by a simple reset of the coffee maker. This means unplugging the unit and plugging it back in. When powered back on, select a brew function to see if the error reappears.

If it does, ERR 2 indicates an internal error with the computer of the warming plate. This may be covered under Kitchenaid's 1 Year Hassle Free Warranty. I would advise you to call Kitchenaid Customer Service to see what options are available to you. Repair is not recommended, as it is not cost effective for the company or the consumer.
