Einleitung

Is your Cuisinart coffee maker producing cold coffee even though all internal connections are intact? If so, this guide will provide instructions on how to replace the heating element in the bottom of the machine. To complete this task all you will need is a soldering iron, a PH1 driver bit and a T10 driver bit.

    • Flip the coffee maker over so the bottom is facing up.

    • Use the screwdriver with size 4 extension with the T10 Torx bit to remove all four 17 mm long screws.

    • Lift the bottom cover off the bottom of the coffee maker.

    This looks simple, even before I watched the video. The hard part is finding the new heating element. I can't find it. Where'd you get it?

    Should the heating element be open circuit if failed?

    • If heating contacts are connected, use a soldering iron to desolder the bond between metal contact points.

    • Solder iron can cause burns if used improperly

    Do you have a link to the heating element? Do you know if other models have the same element?

    Where did you get the heating element from????

    Very nice tutorial!

    Tristan Reynolds -

    Great tutorial…looking for the heating element too? Source?. I am waiting for callback from Cuisinart, but not holding my breath based on what I see here.

    Had the same problem on 2 Cuisinart coffee maker. Impossible to get spare parts, even directly at Cuisinart... Poorly designed, won't buy again.

Where do you find a replacement heating element?

Evan Dunville -

Finding the replacement heater element is the real challenge:)

vvaccaro -

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

Dave Schultz -

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!

David Miller -

Yes - the torx screws with pins in the middle are security screws - designed to not be removable by most people. An additional challenge is these screws are rather deep-set, so you need an actual security torx driver, not just a bit set. I found a set of torx drivers which included the holes even though they weren’t labeled as such - check your local major home store retailer next to the hex wrenches.

David Miller -

I appreciate the great responses and help. Aside from not being able to find the right torx drivers to remove the bottom access panel, the bigger problem was not being able to find a replacement heating element. I gave up end put it in the trash.

I have a Black and Decker model that is working fine.

Done.

Dave Schultz -

Thanks for posting this, good pictures and nice and clear guidance.  I am also struggling to find a replacement unit though. Dave Miller’s post is telling, so Cuisnart do not support repair of their machines…This must be a business opportunity for someone, a 1000w heater and heat sink unit is not rocket science.

How to buy heating element sir?

Restetuto Gatase -

My coffee maker has the opposite issue…the heating element boils the water away! How do I lower the temperature?

jonrugh -

The most likely issue in your case is the non functioning valve inside one of the tubes. That valve is what enables water to move and make your coffee.

Cuisinart Drip Coffee Maker:

Model CBC-6500PCC

In use:

Less than one year.

Problem:

Not heating

Cause:

Blown thermal fuse (240C) connected in series with one side of heating element (there are two, each one connected in series and attached directly to each side of the heating element.) Not replaceable by itself.

Remedy:

Replacement under warranty or purchase a used one at Goodwill, Salvation Army, Value Village, local online personal seller, etc.

Hi I have cuisinart DGB-900bc and the power reaches the machine but no water coming to the coffee basket and no heating on the element ?

((sorry of there any spelling mistake English is not my first language ))

Ali Alsopey -

I have a DCC 1400 and it overflowed during a brew cycle, and was sitting in a tray which collected the overflow and unfortunately water/liquid got in the bottom through the grill and I suspect it fried the heating element and I will test with my meter. My element looks identical to the pics above for the DCC 1200 so I assume it is the same one. Does anyone know what that component is that is held against the heater with the metal clamp - as referred to in step 6 above with the two yellow wires attached? Mine is quite corroded so will clean that up and see if that helps.

Regarding a replacement heating element, it looks like this may be compatible — can anyone confirm?

The useful manual would contain information on where to get replacement part to begin with. This one is one has usefulness value of 3 on 1000 scale

I really like the Cuisinart brand of coffee makers, however it !#^&@! me off they do not provide repair parts. So I took the failed, 6 year old DCC-3200 unit apart today. I removed the failed heater element, it looks a little different than the photo above. However the OEM is Kaneta Electric (I tracked them down to be based in Hong Kong) part number FP1001 120volt, 1050watt, coil whihc is adhered to the underside of the burner plate the coffee pot rests on. I was not able to buy a replacement part, however some of you other clever, internet saavy folks may be able to source it. If you do, please kindly update this web page. So, the replacement $99 coffee maker from Cuisinart is now on order - just the way they planned. God love ‘em as my father in law used to say.
