Brewing Disaster: Gourmia Buttons Fail, Causing Coffee-Induced Panic!

If your Gourmia coffee maker buttons are not working, don’t despair. This common issue can be frustrating, but it’s often easy to resolve. In this blog post, we’ll explore the various reasons why Gourmia coffee maker buttons may stop working and provide step-by-step instructions on how to fix the problem.

Causes of Gourmia Coffee Maker Buttons Not Working

• Power Issues: Ensure the coffee maker is plugged into a working outlet and the power switch is turned on.
• Faulty Buttons: Physical damage, dirt, or moisture can cause buttons to malfunction.
• Control Board Failure: The electronic control board is responsible for receiving input from the buttons. If it fails, the buttons may not work.
• Software Bugs: In rare cases, software glitches can prevent the buttons from functioning properly.
• Circuit Board Issues: Electrical problems with the circuit board can disrupt communication between the buttons and the control board.
• Water Tank Issues: If the water tank is not properly seated or has leaks, it can trigger safety mechanisms that disable the buttons.
