If your Mr. Coffee maker is not getting hot, you’re not alone. This is a common problem that can be caused by a variety of factors. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through some of the most common causes of this issue and provide step-by-step instructions on how to fix it.
1. Check the Power Source
The first thing you should do when your Mr. Coffee maker is not getting hot is to check the power source. Make sure that the coffee maker is plugged into a working outlet and that the power cord is not damaged. You can also try plugging the coffee maker into a different outlet to see if that solves the problem.
2. Clean the Carafe
If the power source is not the issue, the next thing you should do is clean the carafe. Over time, mineral deposits can build up on the carafe, which can prevent the coffee from getting hot. To clean the carafe, fill it with a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water. Let the mixture sit in the carafe for 30 minutes, then rinse the carafe thoroughly with water.
3. Clean the Filter Basket
Another common cause of a Mr. Coffee maker not getting hot is a clogged filter basket. To clean the filter basket, remove it from the coffee maker and rinse it thoroughly with water. You can also use a soft brush to remove any coffee grounds or other debris that may be stuck in the basket.
4. Clean the Heating Element
If the power source, carafe, and filter basket are all clean, the next thing you should do is clean the heating element. To clean the heating element, you will need to remove the bottom panel of the coffee maker. Once the bottom panel is removed, you will see the heating element. Use a soft brush to remove any coffee grounds or other debris that may be stuck on the heating element.
5. Reset the Coffee Maker
If you have tried all of the above steps and your Mr. Coffee maker is still not getting hot, you can try resetting the coffee maker. To reset the coffee maker, unplug it from the power outlet and wait 30 seconds. Then, plug the coffee maker back into the power outlet and turn it on.
