doublewide6 Repairs LLC great job. What do you suggest it is when the coffee maker doesn't come on or light up at all?? Only thing shows is the time and it's @ 12:00 like when the power goes out in your house and all the clocks are at 12..... Having issue with my coffee machine right now... I need coffee I don't start the day without it.

I fixed mine by not taking it apart at all..There's a hole at the bottom of the water intake reservoir where you pour the water in, I used some wire and stuck it in there, and cleaned out the gunk. The inlet hole was clogged with coffee gunk. Then it worked again fine. I then just ran water thru the coffee maker several times till the water ran clear. Good luck.

You were spot on about the thermostat. Mine is out, too. Looked it up on the company website and the little thing is only good for about a thousand cycles. Geez... Make 2 pots a day and the coffee maker won't last 2 years. Talk about planned obsolescence. My model must be newer than yours, because they changed to screws to something most people don't have and don't have a clip anymore. Just two screws. Maybe that was less expensive or TS maker changed the connection. Thanks again.
@thisisyourcaptainspeaking22594 жыл бұрын
Same problem here. I used a 140*C KSD302 16A (250 Volt) NC (Normally Closed) ceramic switch to repair mine. You need this temp, as opposed to a lower temp switch, otherwise there's not enough heat to boil the water in a reasonable period of time. Conversely, too much heat can damage things so pay close attention to the thermal switch ratings. The proper switch should open once temperature rating is reached, limiting electrical current based on temperature. The replacement switch terminals were oriented slightly different from the original switch terminals and my spring-clip bracket held the switch from the back side so I wound up using an mica transistor heatsink insulator to avoid the terminals from touching the clip bracket. This mica insulator was necessary b/c the original switch had countersunk terminals and the replacement switch didn't. Be very careful on this if yours is configured this way, getting it wrong can lead to hazards. The two 216*C thermal fuses were fine, so I didn't need to replace them. The screws were square drive heads instead of phillips, surely the manufacturer didn't want unauthorized access. There was no heatsink compound on my original switch to transfer heat into the switch, I don't think it's necessary anyway although it won't hurt to use a dab if you prefer, IMO. Coffee maker is back to it's old self chugging away normally, probably will go another 20 years.

Nice job on that. I just had the same problem with my Mr. Coffee---it stopped working in the middle of a brew. I opened it up to take a peek. I don't know much about things electrical, but I found it curious that mine had two identical fuses in tandem like yours as well. Well, in my case, one of them was blown. After doing some reading it seems to me that including two fuses like that was a decision based on reasons of history and litigation, and not so much of engineering. So, I just clipped out the broken one and closed the circuit. Turned it back on for long enough to finish my brew. Still, the fuse apparently did its job, so I have to wonder why it blew in the first place? Did it really get that hot? The thermostat technically has a much lower temperature rating than the fuses, so there's that. I have some thermal grease for computers... I wonder if it would also help to re-thermal the heating element to the plate...?

Same result with my Brim SW20. The pot heater works but it won't heat water or brew (cycles directly to the 'keep warm' stage, as if brewing was finished. From reading around it seems to be a very common problem with this model. Anyway, if you look on the part there are numbers/letters printed on it. You can search on eBay or some place for the type your pot uses and find them real cheap.. like a buck or two. just make sure you get an exact match. also, they typically are crimped, not soldered, so you might look into that process if not familiar (there's not a lot to it)

There is another symptom a bad 'stat will cause, and the multimeter test won't find it. My unit would brew a partial batch, give the "done" beep, and stop pumping water. I had to push "start" one or more times to complete the brew. The 'stat was working, but shutting off at too low of a temperature. A meter would show mine closed and working, as it resets quickly. I pulled the 'stat away from the tube so it stayed cool. I could brew a full tank of water. CAUTION: you need to cut the power before the tank goes completely empty or the element will overheat and can blow the thermal fuse.

The steam from heating pushes hit water and is the pump. If you look at the hose coming from the water, it has a ball. That is a check valve so cold water can enter but hot water can't go back. As the water heats, the water expands and is pushed out the hot tube with the steam bubble. Steam stops when the water dries and cold water drops in, repeating the cycle. That is the sound you hear while it is making. If there is no new cold water, the heater becomes hotter the thermal switch shuts off the heater and relay goes into keep warm.

The water coming out of any coffee maker is 212°F. No warmer, no colder. That is simple physics. The same heating element that boils the water heats the base of the coffee pot while it's brewing. Unless you have a metal carafe version, it should continue to warm a glass carafe for several hours. The heating element on metal carafe machines shuts off as soon as it is done brewing. One of mine is metal and the coffee cools as soon as it hits the metal. It never gets as hot as the glass carafe which is constantly heated by the brewing element.
