Delonghi bcct 330t wont brew, power comes on

THANKS "Guest" - you just saved me $100 !
I had already bought a new coffee maker (Krups) when I came across your post.  The thermal fuses (there are two of them) are indeed hidden - they are right underneath the metal braces/clamps that push them against the heating element that they are meant to monitor.  If you take off these clamps and pull back the white insulation you can easily replace the fuse(s).  What you need is:
- volt meter
- needle-nose pliers
- Radio Shack thermal fuse 228C (catalog #270-1321) - these are rated at the same temperature and look fairly identical.  They cost $1.69 at your local Radio Shack
You do NOT need a soldering iron.  So: - take off the bottom of the coffee maker - take off the clamp(s) and pull back insulation. - put your volt meter on either side of the fuse and check for continuity.  In my case, one had no resistance (good) and the other had no connection (bad). - take your needle nose and pry open the clips on the end of the wires that connect to the bad fuse ... put in the new fuse (make sure the polarity matches ... just in case) and scrunch the clips together again - replace everything
In order to make this easy to do, I disconnected the water intake/outtake and also removed the two screws holding the whole heating assembly.  Made it a lot easier

Try replacing the element. What is happening is is that the element is not getting hot enough to pull any water from the tank and heat it and send it up through the shower head to brew the coffee. Sometimes it can be a thermostat but more than likely it is a heating element.

This is most likely that the protection fuse has blown. The DeLonghi people are very poor designers. I have repaired several of their models and they use to many parts, they use off the shelf generic parts and therefore they make a lot of poor design trade-offs that lower the reliability( my opinion ). if you can replace the fuse ( you can get from radio shack ) you must also put in new thermo paste between the element and hot plate. The reality is that this company's stuff fails way to early. I have had many people complain about many different models. I still have a Mr coffee that is over 20 years old. Yes it was made in china but designed in America. It will cost you over $40 to take to a small repair shop, if one exists in you area. I don't know how much you paid BUT you can buy a Mr. Coffee Themo carafe model at target for less than $50 ( on sale ) I bought one for my Mother last year and it is great. Her last one still works BUT no features, strength control, auto shut off, thermo carafe to keep coffee warm without power, clean alert, and more.

SOURCE: My Delonghi Magnifica 3400 has a problme with the

My Delonghi Magnifica door was popping open too when the machine would cycle on or off. I found that the shoot on the inside of the door was stuck. This chute is spring loaded. The chute guides the coffee from the diffuser to the dispenser ports. I think it must have been coffee build up on the back side of the chute making it stick. So when the diffuser passed by during cycling the chute would not move out of the way. This makes the door pop open. I cleaned the chute so that it moves freely and no more trouble.

Replaced the fuse and it blew immediately. What else can be the prob. Heating element has continuity and about 22ohms.
