AND ERROR CODES

•If the brew timer display is not illuminated:

Check to see if the coffee maker is plugged in. If it is, unplug the coffee maker, then plug it back in again. If the brew timer display remains dark, check the fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical circuit the coffee maker is connected to and make certain the circuit is closed.

•If “E1” or “E2” appears on the brew timer display:

The coffee maker needs to be descaled. Unplug the coffee maker for 30 seconds to reset the display, then plug it back in again. See “Descaling” on page 29. If error codes continue to appear after cleaning, see the KitchenAid warranty and service section on page 34.

•If “E3” appears on the brew timer display:

A button or switch is jammed. Unplug the coffee maker, press or turn each switch and button several times, then plug the coffee maker back in. (If the coffee maker has been stored or used in a cool environment, warm the unit to normal room temperature before doing this.) If “E3” appears again on the display, repeat this procedure.

•If it requires more than 10 minutes to brew 12 cups of coffee:

The coffee maker needs to be descaled. See “Descaling” on page 29.

•If the coffee maker makes loud sounds during brewing:

The coffee maker needs to be descaled. See “Descaling” on page 29.

If the problem cannot be fixed with the steps above, see the KitchenAid Warranty and service section on the following page.*
