Mr. Coffee 2.3 oz. Coffee Grinder - White Questions & Answers
No power to the coffee maker when plugged in to
It's sad nobody ever bothered to answer this question/problem. A number of things could be the problem:
the plug isn't functioning, meaning a break in the line cord.
The contacts inside are not working or are dirty.
The switch may be mal-functioning.
The worst: That the wire on the rotor or it's field coil are fried.
Someone will have to open the grinder up to find out what the problem is.
My grinder will not turn
The best case is that the contacts that turn the motor on are not working, maybe need cleaning. Someone would have to open up the grinder to check and correct that. The worst case would be that the rotor or field coil to the motor became fried. That happened to me when I tried to grind damp sea salt.
WILL NOT TURN ON
by pass the safety switch and put an "In-Line" switch on the power cord
NO COFFEE
THE PERKULATOR HEATER HJAS WENT BAD AND VERY DOUTFUL THE MAKER WILL SELL YOU THIS PART FOR LIABILITY ISSUES
Mr coffee beeps 3 times and thats all, no brew
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!
My mr. coffeemaker beeps 5 times and doesn't brew the coffee I just purchased this coffee pot last month aug 2014. what could be the problem
I see two problems that you've described.
First, you have a bad empty-reservoir sensor. Mine went out on my first Mr. Coffee within the first month also. The purpose of the sensor is to trigger the beeping to simply let you know when the coffee is done. The coffeemaker would normally work fine otherwise.
Second, you have a bad heating element. This is the core function of your coffeemaker and renders it useless for anything but a nice warming plate.
I recommend replacing the coffeemaker.
In the future, make sure you do not add water to the reservoir unless the coffeemaker has been turned of for at least five minutes. This will help prolong the life of the heating element.
The heating element will naturally degrade over time. But, it can incur sudden damage when the reservoir is refilled with water too soon - while the element is still hot. Because of the simple design, if the coffeemaker is on, then both the warming plate's heating element and the reservoir's heating element are on. So, after a brewing cycle is complete, the reservoir's heating element stays on. Without any in the reservoir to keep it cool, the heating element superheats. So, if water is put in the reservoir while the coffeemaker is on or before the element has adequately cooled, the sudden burst of steam from the water contacting the element can be quite violent.
