Cuisinart CHW-12: Hot water system alternates between water ready and add water

Sun, 26 Jan 2020 22:40:27 -0700

The hot water system on my Cuisinart started acting up about a week ago. I will fill the water reservoir and it will continue to blink add water, even when full. It’s only when I dispense water and it is almost empty that the light that says water is ready comes on and starts heating. I did do a descale, and now the water ready and the add water just blink back and forth continually. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The chw-12 turned itself off in the middle of making a pot of coffee. I pushed start button and it continued until full pot was done, then turned itself off again. Now there is no power, lights, heat, there is no response. What is wrong with it?

My partner has this coffee maker and was complaining about the buildup in the cracks and crevices.

I used the clean function with vinegar, like recommended, but the buildup is bad enough that a little elbow grease is needed, pic below.

Why the hell is is so difficult to open?

How can I repair the hot water dispensing system from turning on at random?

This applies only to the hot water system; the coffee maker/brew system works fine. The hot water system turns on and off at random. This problem started about one week, ago. CHW-12 unit is about 4 years old.
