the brew light on my mr coffee just blinks and it won't start, what does that mean?

— asked by Taylor

A blinking "Brew" light indicates an error state, usually a problem with the water level sensor or thermal control.

  1. Unplug the unit for 5 minutes to perform a hard reset.
  2. Plug it back in. Ensure the water reservoir is correctly seated and filled past the minimum line.
  3. Check that the carafe is centered on the warming plate. The sensor needs to detect it.

If that didn't work, the internal thermostat may be faulty. The unit has entered a safety lockout.

Heads up: Do not attempt to bypass this error. A continuous blinking light during operation signifies an overheating condition. Unplug it immediately and contact service.
