How to fix a KitchenAid KCM1209 with a display that is not illuminated?
If the display of your KitchenAid Coffee Maker is not illuminated, check if the appliance is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet. If it is, inspect the fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical circuit to which the Coffee Maker is connected and ensure the circuit is closed.
Why does my KitchenAid Coffee Maker only brew a portion of the water I add?
If your KitchenAid Coffee Maker only brews a portion of the water added, it requires immediate descaling. Please refer to the “Care and Cleaning” section.
What to do if “Er1” flashes on the display of my KitchenAid KCM1209 Coffee Maker?
If “Er1” flashes on the display and you hear 1 tone, a button may be jammed. Unplug the Coffee Maker and press each button several times. Then, plug the Coffee Maker back in. If “Er1” appears again, repeat this procedure.
Why does coffee overflow the brew basket in my KitchenAid KCM1209?
Coffee may overflow the brew basket of your KitchenAid Coffee Maker because the brew basket is not correctly in place. Refer to the “Assembly Of Brew Basket” section to ensure correct placement. Another reason could be that too much coffee ground was placed into the brew basket, or you used both the Gold Tone Filter and Paper Filter together.
