Question about Black & Decker Coffee Makers & Espresso Machines
You have a problem with your internal hot water heater which for most folks ( the vast majority who can not take apart a coffee maker and change its internal components) this means that your coffee maker is dead

There is nothing wrong with your unit, This is not a problem. There is no burner at all. This is a thermal carafe unit that does not require a burner to keep the coffee hot, but rather it's the thermos like quality of the carafe that keeps the coffee hot.

SOURCE: my black and decker coffee maker will not turn on to brew coffee
All coffee-makers are provided with a thermal
fuse located near the heating element and in series with the element itself. This device is bullet-shaped with one lead
connected to the case, the other insulated from it. If there was no protection of this kind, it
could lead to a fire if the heating element fails to get turned off when
reaching its design temperature and nearly impossible to buy as a replacement
part. These are not user replaceable and both the
thermal fuse and the bimetal switch that controls the current for the heating
element have become increasingly less reliable as they are made in China and
since we have little alternative, we have to either keep track of our warranty
or just throw it away when it fails. The fuses can fail at any time and I have
brought back three coffee-makers in a five day period, all with the same
failure, before giving up and getting a refund. Another type of failure, namely of the bimetal
switch occurs over time and reveals itself by the ever-longer brew time that is
unaffected by dissolving the lime in the system. The heat sensitive metal switch part becomes
gradually less responsive causing the machine to just cough instead of pump as
when new. The last one I tossed had reached 40+ minutes
per pot.

the concept still applies. the heating element is usually dual functional. heating the water then keeping the plate warm.

There are two heat stages in the Spacesaver. One is the carafe heater you can see while the other is an assembly within the main housing. This assembly contains a heater, thermostat, and a section of metal tubing with high temperature silicon connectors at each end. when the water storage tank is inserted it fills the heated section of the tube and when activated the water boils as it passes through the one way valve and forces the water into the coffee container. This steam driven surge repeats until all water has been moved to carafe. There are several failure modes associated with this assembly an I have two. 1. is the heater opening which I have and 2. is the thermostat degrading causing incomplete transfer and ultimately no transfer because it brings the temp down prematurely. Another is crud on the check valve so many problems - no solutions

SOURCE: kitchenaid coffee pot won't brew coffee reads err2
An ERR 2 may be cleared by a simple reset of the coffee maker. This
means unplugging the unit and plugging it back in. When powered back
on, select a brew function to see if the error reappears.
If it does reappear, ERR 2 indicates an internal error with the computer of the
warming plate. This may be covered under Kitchenaid's 1 Year Hassle
Free Warranty. I would advise you to call Kitchenaid Customer Service
to see what options are available to you. Repair is not recommended, as
it is not cost effective for the company or the consumer.
Their toll-free telephone number is 1-800-541-6390.
