Where do you find a replacement heating element?
Finding the replacement heater element is the real challenge:)
I have a Cusinart DCC-2600 coffee maker that has stopped heating. I suspect the heating element needs replacing. The bottom of the maker looks very similar to the DCC-1200 shown above, but the 4 screws that hold the bottom on my model do not have any torx heads. They feel more like a rivet?!
Is this to make it not serviceable or am I missing something? If anyone has a suggestion, please respond
Hi Dave,
Here, I’ve Cuisinart DCC-1400 coffee maker but the 4 screws on bottom is a torx with the pin in the center.
Check this , you need probably a torx driver with the hole in the center !

Agree - any assistance in finding the replacement heating element would be most helpful. I have this coffee maker, and the metal clamp holding the heating element in place corroded through. Now the hotplate falls away from the bottom of the coffee maker. I’d like to replace the heating element and I assume it comes with the clamp in place - but cuisinart does not make any internal parts available to online parts retailers. Thanks!
