Coffee maker will not turn on
The coffee maker does not respond when the power is switched on.
Device unplugged
Make sure the coffee maker is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Try to plug coffee maker into at least two separate outlets to make sure the power outlet is functioning correctly.
Damaged power cord
Visually look over the power cord to make sure there are no obvious breaks, cuts, or damage done to cord.
Circuit board malfunction
The KF 440 is equipped with a circuit board that controls the functions of the coffee maker. Visually look over the circuit board and see if there are any burnt or broken components.
Coffee maker turns on but will not brew coffee
The power switch is on (red light appears), but no coffee is produced.
Water reservoir is empty
Make sure the water reservoir is filled with water.
Coffee pot not correctly in place
The coffee pot needs to sit correctly and fully onto the hotplate for coffee to brew.
Faulty filter basket components
The filter basket has a spring and ball assembly, which allows coffee to flow into the pot and stops flow when the pot is removed. If this assembly is broken, the coffee maker will not brew correctly. Refer to the Braun Aromaster KF440 Filter Basket Replacement Guide.
Coffee maker will only brew water
The coffee maker only produces hot water.
Empty filter basket
Make sure coffee grounds are in the filter basket.
Coffee maker brews slowly
The coffee maker is producing coffee, but at a slower than average pace.
Coffee maker needs to be cleaned
In addition to coffee grounds, the coffeemaker can build up calcium and mineral deposits. The coffeemaker can be cleaned by running the coffee maker once with a water-vinegar solution (1:1) and another time with just water.
Coffee maker’s one-way inline valve is clogged
The KF 440 is equipped with a one-way valve to aid in brewing. This valve can become clogged with residues, causing the coffee maker to brew very slowly. Refer to the Braun Aromaster KF440 one-way valve Replacement
Brewed coffee is not hot
The coffee maker brews coffee normally, but the coffee from the carafe is not hot.
Automatic shut-off switch has been activated
The automatic shut off switch will turn the coffee maker off after a given amount of time for safety reasons. Most coffee makers default shut off time is 2 hours unless otherwise manually programmed for a different time.
Faulty heating element
The heating element, which heats the coffee to the desired temperature, can fail. This failure would cause the coffee maker to brew cold coffee. Refer to the Braun Aromaster KF440 Internal Tubing Replacement Guide
Coffee grounds appear in brewed coffee
There are coffee grounds in the bottom of the carafe.
Paper filter not properly seated
The paper filter needs to sit in the basket correctly for the brewing process. If the sides of the filter are folded over and not in contact with the filter basket, coffee grounds will leak through the basket and into the coffee pot. If this happens, clean the filter basket and coffee pot, then install a new filter that is correctly positioned.
Damaged filter basket
Visually check the filter basket for cracks or holes that could be allowing coffee grounds to leak into the coffee pot. If cracks or holes are detected refer to the KF 440 filter basket replacement guide.
Water appears around the base of the coffee maker
Water leaks beneath the coffee maker and on to the countertop.
Too much water in reservoir
Too much water can be poured into the coffee maker’s reservoir. This would cause water to leak out of coffee maker, leaving a puddle of water around it.
Internal hoses are cracked or Broken
The tubing inside of the coffee maker can become cracked or broken over time , causing the coffee maker to leak water . Refer to the Braun Aromaster KF440 Heating Element Replacemen

Someone brewed coffee in my pot without using a filter. Now it won't work. The company said it's unfixable. Any suggestions?

Do you still have it? Try to disassemble it to give it a thorough cleaning. Manufacturer just doesn’t want to help you because they just made a couple of dollars selling you the item and won’t make any by fixing it for you, but that doesn’t means it can’t be repaired. Coffee makers are simple machines that you can repair yourself until the electronics, pump or heating element burnt out.

Do I need to order a new circuit board. Or do I return it to where I bought it?
aaw7051 - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0
Circuit boards for coffee makers are hard to find. You may inquire with the manufacturer. If still under warranty (and you kept the receipt) exchange for a different brand of coffee maker.

Looks like the water pump burnt out and will need to be replaced.

Halfway through brewing a pot of coffee (about 3 cups into 6 cups) it just stopped working. Power lights still on but water stopped flowing through, heat went out, no noise, nothing. Lights on but nothing else doing. Story?

Sounds like it died from a short circuit. You may try to repair the electronics yourself or take it to a small appliance shop. If inexpensive replace it altogether but keep or donate the used glass carafe to a local thrift shop.

My brew light will not flash so therefore no coffee brewing. YIKES!!!!! I am desperate. I have tried everything. Something went wrong in the cleaning process. So I dumped out the water. Since then no coffee
Rhonda Miller - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0
It may be a circuit board malfunction due to water leakage, as stated above. Hoses may fail and start leaking with age. I would take it apart to let everything inside dry thoroughly, check the circuit board for any sign of burnt components and inspect hoses for leaks. And then put everything back together. If it refuses to turn on, you may need to buy a new coffee maker. Try to buy the same model again: that way you have spare parts for the future. Good luck!

Instructions recommend using a paper filter when brewing a single cup of coffee. After the coffee has brewed and signals it is ready, (machine has turned off and coffee has stopped dripping)…at least 1/3 cup of brewed coffee is left puddling in the filter.
I have measured the coffee according to instructions for 12 oz cup.
What am I doing wrong?

There may be coffee grounds obstructing the flow of fresh brew coffee. Dissasemble the filter basket and clean it by hand by using running water from your faucet. Let it dry and reassemble

My Braun is reading EOI and won’t brew

Error code E01 in a Braun coffee maker means there is an internal issue and the machine now needs to be professionally repaired.

Why does my coffee pot brew but the coffee pours outside the pot onto the counter? I have cleaned the screen and the top of the pot and made sure the funnel is well seated but the coffee continues to pour over the pot and onto the counter.
