Kitchen aid proline coffee make not getting any

There are (I think) three possibilities:1. There is a fuse inside the unit.2. The water heating element has a thermal fuse that has failed as a result of overheating (no water in the reservoir at some point)3. The control panel has failed or the low-voltage power supply that powers the control panel has failed.My guess would be #2. This is a readily available part (electronic supply stores) but not easy to replace (unit disassembly can be quite challenging). If you're handy, give it a try. The thermal fuse will be wired directly across the terminals of the water heating element. It will have very low resistance (~1 ohm) if it is good.

Coffee maker did not heat

An electric coffee maker has an electric flow-through brewing water heater with a heating resistor controlled by a temperature dependent regulating switch responsive to the temperature of the heating resistor, and a warming plate heated by the heating resistor for maintaining the prepared coffee at a desired drinking temperature. Apparatus for adjustably prolonging the interruption of heating current 2 to 5 times the normal cooling time of the regulating switch is connected in circuit with the heating resistor and the regulating switch, and a manually actuated small quantity control means connects the heating current interruption prolonging apparatus in circuit with the heating resistor and the regulating switch. The prolonging apparatus may be an adjustable auxiliary electric heater in parallel with the regulating switch and thermally coupled thereto or an adjustable timer in series with the heating resistor and regulation switch and triggered by the opening of the regulating switch

One pin broke off on

Kathleen,
I just called Cuisinart Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 and the representative I got (Christina) placed an order for the part and had it shipped to me. I didn't have to pay anything! It should be here in 7-10 days. Guess I'll be doing Starbucks until then, but a small price to pay overall for my favorite coffee maker.

Turns off half way thru

The brew cycle will terminate when unit senses the temperature rise when water is gone. If scale buildup is heavy, that insulates the water from the sensor and temp will rise too soon. You should runs SEVERAL cycles of descaling as the scale has to be really built up. You might want to go heavier on the vinegar and let it set a bit before cycling. Scale is hard to breakdown... It is likely a calcium compound.

WARMING PLATE DGB 300

The Automatic Shutoff Time can be programmed
anywhere from immediate shutoff
after completion of the brew cycle up to four
hours. When the coffeemaker shuts itself off,
two tones will sound. Four hours is the default
time. The 0:00 setting shuts the unit off immediately
after brewing is complete. To check the
current setting, press the “On/Off” button and
the Automatic Shutoff Time will be displayed.
To change the preset time, press and hold the
“On/Off” button until the red “power” light
begins to flash. This signals that you have
entered the “Set Automatic Shutoff” mode.
Press the “Hours” and “Minutes” buttons
to scroll forward through the digits until
desired time appears. The first setting which
appears is preset at “4:00” and the next
display will be “0:00”, since four hours is the
maximum Automatic Shutoff setting. Pressing
and holding either button will allow you to
scroll continuously, slowly at first, and then to
accelerate to the rate of about three digits per
second. As the desired time setting approaches,
release the button and then press repeatedly
to advance one digit at a time.
The Automatic Shutoff Time (ASO) may be
programmed either before or during coffee
brewing. You may also re-program the ASO
time when brewing has been completed. If you
do so, the Automatic Grind & Brew™ will automatically
account for any time that has already
elapsed after brewing.

My Cuisinart CCJ-500P1 won't turn on how to repair

To repair it, one must find out what the cause is. Do some fault finding first; check there is power at the switch and the motor has continuity etc. When you have found the faulty part, then you can replace the faulty part or repair the break in the cable etc.

Cuisinart DCC-3000C coffee maker. I want to stop the chime on my Cuisinart DCC-3000C coffee maker which does not have a 'Tone' button. How do I do it?

Question edited for clarity. Unfortunately you can't. The chime sounder is part of the main control board. Next time you take it in for dealer servicing, ask if they can muffle it with some silicone. Or upgrade to the DCC-3200 model ..

Cuisinart coffee maker.... clock light does not light

Switch it off and wait 10 minutes: Sometimes, if your coffee maker is still new and has water sitting in it for a long time, or if you have just cleaned it, you might see an error message saying that there is no water. Just turning them off and waiting 10 minutes will often solve the problem. Afterward, turn it back on, pour some water into it and try again! If for some reason it doesn't work after doing that, try the next steps mentioned below. Reset the clock, then brew a cup of coffee: Check to make sure all of your connections are properly secured and tight. Even a half-turn can cause problems with appliances that use electricity, and it is important to remember not to force any connection into place. You may need a new plug for an appliance that's been in service for many years if you are having trouble getting power to it-don't assume anything! Many older appliances have worn or damaged wiring. Turn it off and on again: The next logical step is to turn your coffee maker off and then back on again. This works with many small appliances and just might clear up whatever issue you're experiencing. In some cases, a reset button or power button will be present to make it easier. If not, try to turn it off at its power source (i.e., unplugging it) and then plug it back in afterward. If that doesn't work, try turning off your home's circuit breaker for a few minutes, if applicable, before returning power to it and trying again. If these tips do not work, you might try the customer service of the manufacturer.

My Cuisinart Grind and Brew does not brew. Cannot clean or descale since the water or solution does not pass thru.

Check Water Reservoir: Ensure that the water reservoir is properly seated in place and filled with water to the appropriate level. Sometimes, the machine won't brew if it detects an inadequate water level. Check Water Inlet and Outlet: Inspect the water inlet and outlet for any clogs or blockages. Sometimes, debris or mineral buildup can prevent water from flowing through the machine. Clean any visible obstructions carefully. Descale the Machine: If the issue is due to mineral buildup, descaling the coffee maker might help. Use a commercial descaling solution or a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Run this solution through the machine as you would during a regular brewing cycle. Afterward, run a few cycles with plain water to rinse out any residue. Inspect Grinder and Filter Basket: Check the grinder and filter basket for any coffee grounds or other debris that might be obstructing the flow of water. Ensure that the grinder and filter basket are correctly positioned and securely locked in place. Clean the Brew Head: The brew head may also become clogged with coffee grounds or oils, affecting water flow. If your machine has a removable brew head, take it out and clean it thoroughly. If it's not removable, follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning the brew head. Run a Cleaning Cycle: Some coffee makers have a cleaning cycle that helps remove buildup inside the machine. Refer to your user manual for instructions on how to activate the cleaning cycle. Reset the Machine: In some cases, a simple reset can resolve minor issues. Turn off the coffee maker, unplug it from the power source, wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and try brewing again. Check the tubes: Make sure the tubes are sitting in the right place and filled to the correct level. Sometimes the machine will not make alcohol if it senses that there is not enough water.

Cuisinart DCC-3200C 14-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker. I successfully made coffee in my DCC-3200 for 3 mornings. This am I got only hot water and the grounds were dry. How could it be clogged already?

Question edited for full 'make model (what it is)'. Question moved to maker category. this is a very simple 'drip though a filter, pour and serve' machine. You must have forgotten to put the coffee and filter in. It is easy to do and I have done it at least three times in 20 years. If you got hot water, the heater is working, if the grounds were dry, the water didn't spray over them. My sunbeam coffee maker won't let that happen. https://www.google.com/search?q=DCC-3200 ..

Cuisinart DGB-900bc clean basket notice won't turn off.

I also own a Cuisinart DGB-900BC. This is how I fixed the sensor issue.Disclaimer: IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF MY INSTRUCTIONS USE A MULTIMETER OR TESTER TO ENSURE YOU AREN'T MODIFYING THE WRONG WIRES WHICH COULD RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION IF DONE IMPROPERLY.Over time the basket tends to sag, which prevents the little sensor from contacting it for the unit to realize the door is shut. The sensor is a spring loaded piece of plastic hanging from the underside of the coffee maker which makes contact with the basket when it closes. If you're looking straight on it is to the left.What you'll have to do is either find a way to fix the basket sag, force the sensor closed, or do what I did and modify the unit.Sensor modification:You will need a size 10 security bit with the hollow center (not just a plain star bit) screwdriver to take the four screws out of the bottom to reveal the wires you need to modify. There are two blue wires that go to the top of the unit which are crimped onto two black wires. The two black wires lead to the circuit board which is extremely difficult to get to on this model. All you have to do is snip those two black wires and install a push button which keeps the circuit closed until you push it. Initially I thought twisting them together would work but this unit will not brew coffee a second time unless you remove the basket and toggle the sensor input. So I basically have to unplug the unit and plug it back in to reset that. I will be adding the push button soon.Ensure you buy the right push button. You need one that keeps the circuit closed until you push it, most push buttons keep the circuit open until you press them. Alternative is to buy a metal toggle switch, preferably one that spring loads back to the center after you push it.To summarize:1) Fix basket sag or wedge sensor to closed position.OR1) Remove bottom plate of coffee maker2) Snip the blue wires leading to the sensor and add a push button or toggle switch on the two black wires they were connected to. Mount switch externally so you can push it to fool the unit to think you removed and replaced the basket.My attached picture shows my temporary twisted wire solution with yellow connector before I added the push button. Note that while I'm holding the blue ones leading to the sensor, the two small black wires are what's important. I did this modification before making an account here.20230626_225346-b5oikuwgyissowxaundqdeik-d-0.jpg
