Error Codes
KitchenAid Coffee Maker Error Codes
Some coffee makers have an LED display which may show an error code. The error codes can mean different things depending on which model you have.
For Models That Start With KCM5
Err1 - If the coffee maker is near an outside wall in a cold climate, or if the water is quite cold, this error may display. Move the coffee maker to a warmer location or use slightly warmer water.
Err2 - An electrical component has been dislocated within the coffee maker. There is no repair for this issue.
Err3 - Control has detected that the sensor is not changing temperature during warm-keeping (it should record constantly changing temperatures). A sensor dislocating from the heater, a heater failure, or a blown thermal fuse on the heater can cause this. There is no repair for this issue.
Err4 - Stuck button. Press and release all buttons on the coffee maker.
KCM111
Err1 - A button may be jammed. Unplug the coffee maker and press each button several times. Plug the coffee maker into a grounded 3-prong outlet. If “Err1” appears again on the display, repeat this procedure.
KCM1402
Err2 - If the brewing cycle does not complete within 15 minutes, the coffee maker will display an Err2. This can occur if the heater is not working properly.
KCM0802
If the Error Code Number appearing on the display is:
"4" means Dry Boil [no water in the tank]. Add water to the tank and resume brewing. If any other error displays, press the BREW button and try to reset.
KCM1202
Er1 - A button may be jammed. Unplug the coffee maker and press each button several times. Plug the coffee maker into a grounded 3-prong outlet. If “Er1” appears again on the display, repeat this procedure.
