Keeps flashing 12:00

My cuisinart grind and brew just keeps flashing 12:00. nothing happens when i push any buttons. disconnecting the power for an hour doesn't make a difference either. help!

  • jippers May 10, 2008

    i left the coffeemaker unplugged for more than 24 hrs. when i plugged it in, i was able to set the time and timer. maybe there was some moisture that needed to dry out?!?! in any case, it's working again. but for how long, i don't know!

  • jippers May 20, 2008

Hi jippers - try this :

1. Setting the Clock
When the coffeemaker is plugged in, 12:00 willappear until you set the time.
Entering “Time Set” Mode:
To set the time, hold down either the “Hours” or“Minutes” button until the clock begins flashing (about 2 seconds). You are now in the “Time Set” mode and can operate either button to achieve the desired setting. The buttons can be held down to scroll through the digits, or
pressed and released lightly to advance one
digit at a time.
When scrolling, the numbers will advance
slowly at first and then speed up to the rate of about three per second. When the number displayed approaches the desired setting,release the button and press repeatedly to advance one digit at a time. Be careful to make sure that the PM indicator is on if a PM time is desired.
Exiting “Time Set” Mode:
The “Time Set” mode can be exited in
one of two ways:
1. Press any button besides the “Hours” or
“Minutes” button. This will exit the “Time Set”
and activate the selected function.
2. Do nothing. If neither the “Hours” nor
“Minutes” button is pressed for a period
of five seconds, the “Time Set” mode will
be exited.

If this solves your problem PLEASE rate this as fixed. If you need more help just add a comment and I'll be happy to assist you further. Thanks and have a nice day.

Jeff

I received a Cuisinart Grind and Brew 10 cup coffee maker. Can you tell me how to set the time on it?

Press and hold the HR button for a few seconds until clock time starts flashing, then press and release the HR button to change the hours

Do the same with the MIN button

Note: on this coffeemaker, the display will say "PM" if it is set for PM - otherwise it will be on AM

Just bought a cuisinart grind & brew dgb-550 and can't get the program setting to work. Tried putting in a time and leaving it and tried pushing the program button after entering the time.

Push the program button one more time - the first push allows you to set the time, the second push stores the time you have just entered, and then you have to press it one more time to make the light next to the program button light up tell it to brew at the set time.

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.

Keeps flashing 12:00

I just kept plugging and unplugging the coffee pot. Eventually, the clock stopped blinking, the buttons worked, and all was well.

Coffee maker beeping

Is your grinder in and the lid down? My coffee maker (grind & brew) started beeping after I cleaned it and turned the left knob clockwise with the grinder still disassembled. There's a little button that is depressed when you close the lid with the grinder in there (I'd guess it's a safety feature). I pressed down that button, and the beeping went away.

DGB-300 10 cup grind and brew

The constant beeping means that something is out of place. Take apart the coffeemaker parts completely and put them back in their proper place (don't forget to close the lid). The beep should stop. If it doesn't stop, unplug the unit for one hour and call Cuisinart to see if it is still in warranty.
