ERROR DETECTION

WHAT TO CHECK
DESCRIPTION
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Has the water tank 
been properly filled? 
On initial startup, an attempt to heat a 
dry tank will be detected as too high a 
temperature or insufficient temp rise, or 
will trip the high limit. 
Tank must be properly filled as 
detailed on page 6. 
Check hi-limit (see below) 
Has hi-limit safety 
thermostat tripped 
off? 
Brewer may have been started without 
water in the tank, or the temp control 
thermostat may require adjustment. 
Access hi-limit by removing front 
panel. Hi-limit is on the left side of 
the tank. Use an insulated tool to 
push the red button in until it “clicks” 
and stays. Reset per above. 
Check control board 
and temp probe. 
Brewer will go into error mode 
immediately if either the control board 
or temp probe is defective. 
Temp probe electrical resistance is 
approximately 30K
Ω at room temp, and
2K
Ω at boiling. Replace temp probe if
less than 1K
Ω.
Reset by holding the CANCEL key for 
3 seconds. If lights continue to flash: 
Disconnect temp probe from control 
board. 
a. If lights continue to flash, unplug 
 brewer and replace control board. 
b. If lights stop flashing, unplug 
 brewer and replace temp probe. 
Check power board 
and heating element.. 
Brewer will go into error mode 4 minutes 
after energizing the heating element if 
insufficient heat rise is detected. The 
heating element is energized by an 
electronic power board, and protected 
by the hi-limit safety. 
Heating element should receive full line 
voltage (i.e. 120V, 208V or 240V). 
Be sure the hi-limit safety is reset. 
Reset by holding the CANCEL key 
for 3 seconds. If lights resume 
flashing after 4 minutes: 
Check the voltage across the heating 
element terminals: 
a. If no voltage is present, unplug 
 brewer and replace power board. 
b. If proper voltage is present, 
 unplug brewer and replace tank 
 heating element. 
Is the brew 
temperature properly 
adjusted? 
The brewer may occasionally go into 
error mode if the brew temperature is 
set too high. 
See page 17 for temperature 
adjustment procedure. 
This brewer is designed to perform a continuous internal 
diagnosis, and to signal faults by flashing all the lights. In fault 
mode, warmers, heating element and water fill solenoid are turned 
“off”, and most keypad functions are disabled. 
 
Error detection (all lights flashing) will occur under two conditions: 
•
Anytime a temperature in excess of 214ºF is detected.
•
Temperature does not change by at least 2ºF within 4 minutes 
of tank heater being energized (HEAT light on). 
 
To reset the brewer after the fault has been corrected, press and 
hold the CANCEL key for 3 seconds, or disconnect the brewer from 
electrical power for three seconds.
