Our guide helps to replace the thermal fuses in a Mr. Coffee 5-Cup Mini Brew coffee maker (Model #: BVMC-PC05BL2-NP-001). Some reasons for the machine not working are from degradation and use overtime, especially if the unit is particularly old and dated. When something is broken, the thermal fuses will likely trip. After doing the necessary repair, the thermal fuse needs to be replaced.
Thermal fuses are single-use devices that cannot be reset, so you would need to replace them to make the coffee machine work again. Thermal fuses work to ensure the machine does not overheat and become a fire hazard. To check if your thermal fuses are functioning, you can use a multimeter at where the thermal fuse attaches to the machine, where the thermal fuses attach to each other, and the other spot where the thermal fuse attaches to the machine on the other side to check if current is running through.
