OH Yeah! That is the number one failure in these machines. (owned four of them) The problem is one or both of the "twin" thermal fuses or the thermostat for water heating and hotplate,( one in the same) has gone open. I have tried for a long time to locate correct replacement parts to no avail. I would STRONGLY not recommend trying to bypass as these are not only controls but a safety feature as well. I was lucky a wile back and found one without a carafe at a garage sale. used it for parts, now those have failed also. Really miss them. If I ever find a source for parts I will post it here with replacement procedure.

here is a link to the manual. u will need adobe to open it
The auto off is configurable as I recall. I don't think you can fully hobble. Coffee kept hot much longer goes bad despite the prolonging powers of the Krups. RTFM online and you should be able to learn the menu command sequence to configure it as you like subject to whatever it allows.
It means your water filter needs to be replaced. I wouldn't know this either as I found my coffee maker in a thrift shop, but I read it on Epinions a few minutes ago in a review.
Have you had any problems with splashing when brewing - some of the water missing the spout? I lose up to a cup of water and I'm stumped. The goldtone filter has to be pushed to go down into the unit, does this mean I'm putting it too far in and screwing up the stop n pour or something?
The type 453 coffee maker offers a carafe ‘pre-warm’ function. This feature will heat the carafe for 5-10 minutes before the brewing process begins and is indicated by a flashing red light. To toggle this feature, push the top-right button in the control panel until the display reads "off".
I have a Krups model FME4 and it means that you should descale the machine. Here's a link to the use and care instructions for my model, I assume it would be the same for yours. http://www.krupsusa.com/Consumer+Services/Product+Support/Results/Use+and+Care/ResultUseAndCare.htm?SelectedService=Use%20and%20Care&SelectedGuIDService={EC10140D-AA43-4DCA-8D3A-A5A4823D9E52}&SelectedProdRef=FME4 My problem is that CALC continues to display even after I've descaled several times. Good luck with yours.
