What to do if “Er1” flashes on my KitchenAid KCM1208 and I hear a tone?
If “Er1” flashes on the display of your KitchenAid Coffee Maker and you hear one tone, it could mean that a button is jammed. Unplug the coffee maker and press each button several times. Then, plug the coffee maker back in. If “Er1” reappears on the display, repeat this procedure.
What to do if my KitchenAid KCM1208 Coffee Maker display is not illuminated?
If the display of your KitchenAid Coffee Maker is not illuminated, plug it into a grounded outlet. If you have a circuit breaker box, make sure the circuit is closed.
Why does only a portion of water brew in my KitchenAid KCM1208?
If only a portion of the water added to your KitchenAid Coffee Maker actually brews, the coffee maker requires immediate descaling. Please refer to the “Care and cleaning” section.
Why is coffee overflowing from my KitchenAid KCM1208 brew basket?
Coffee may overflow the brew basket of your KitchenAid Coffee Maker for several reasons. The brew basket might not be correctly in place. Also, you may have put too much coffee grounds into the brew basket, or you might have used both the gold tone filter and a paper filter together.
