TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM: Brewer does not have power. Brewer will not brew. SOLUTION Plug brewer into an independent outlet. Make sure the brewer is securely plugged in. Plug into a different outlet. Reset your home's circuit breaker. Confirm the power has been turned on and the On/Off and brew buttons are illuminated. Turn off and unplug the brewer for 30 seconds or more. When you plug the brewer back in, be sure to turn the power back on. If the Add Water indicator is illuminated, check to make sure the water reservoir is properly filled. If not, add at least 11 oz. of water. If the Add Water indicator is illuminated even after adding at least 11 oz. of water to the water reservoir, contact Consumer Service at 1-800-726-0190.
