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.
