Coffee Maker Won't Brew or Short Brew

KitchenAid Coffee Maker Won't Brew 

  • If you forget to add water, the heater will reach the end of the brew cut-off temperature in less than 1 minute.
  • It will then enter warm-keeping mode directly (as if the consumer desired to extend warm-keeping beyond 2 hours or warm up a previously brewed coffee). This is a normal operation.
  • The “Auto-On” feature is on until the preset time is reached, and the coffee maker will not brew unless this mode is overridden by selecting the "ON" button.

Short Brew

  • Check to see if the 1-4 cup feature has been selected if you are brewing a full pot.
  • If the coffee maker has not been cleaned recently, descale to remove calcification.
