Failed coffee maker

On the Model 55108 Coffee Warmer plate, the L121 -12C thermal sensor is open. The other sensor in this model, L145 -20C, is closed. Aren't both of these sensors supposed to be closed normally? I believe the L121 -12C sensor has failed.

The "sensor" (little white hard material disc) works in conjuction with the heating element Ok thats a no brainer, however usually it is the heating element failure (lloks like a big U thing on bottom of hot plate) that kills the sensor. Both have to be replaced, however, are they easy to find and worth the cost of parts and time to repair?? Or just buy another one. The life expectancy is aproxiamate 500 or less pots...

Just purchased a PSTX series coffee maker. It is really fast and has the SS carafe. My question is, does it have a warmer or does it just rely on the SS to keep the coffee warm?

No in the BVMC-PSTX90 or 95 series.
If this is your model, Is a good coffee maker.
If you are NOT drinking your fresh brewed coffee withing 25 min. YOU DON'T WANT a warmer/burner.
And the reason why, IT BURNS the coffee. You don't have this problem with the "thermal Carafe".
