Keurig drawing a lot of electricity? actually tripped circuit in my kitchen! Has anyone had an issue with this? Bought the B60 today. Primed it, while priming it blew a circuit in my kitchen, couldn't believe it! Plugged it in in another room, worked fine but it still dimmed the lights in there! Has anyone else had these issues or do I just need to re-wire my house? Only sort of kidding! The house was built in 1997 so I'm fairly certain the wiring is okay...thanks in advance!

Does it keep the water hot 24/7? or does it heat the water up when you brew a cup. and how long does it take to heat up the water?

I had the same problem, and had NOTHING ELSE plugged in or running in the kitchen.

I have a B70 but the results are probably the same, I stuck it on a killawatt for about 14 hours in standby (already heated up), no auto shutoff set.Over 14 1/2 hours it used 0.29 Kwh, that is just to keep the water ready for brewing. At my top rate of $0.30/Kwh that is around $4 a month if it was on all the time. However I usually have it set to turn off after 2 hours, and to automatically turn on in the morning when I need it. I'll leave it to run this cycle for a few days on the Killawatt and see what the difference is.

I am sitting in the dark in my room right now really angry and in need of answers. Nothing in my room will shut on anymore I don't know what to do or if anything will cut back on over time.

Please clarify for me what you meant by the water tank reheat cycle. My concern is how much electricity is drawn on a continuing basis assuming that the Keurig (mine is a B66) is left on 24/7. I have noticed a higher than normal electricity bill and want to know how much the Keurig contributes to it. Incidentally, it is used for about 2-3 12 oz cups per day. How many KwH am I using a month?

The unit draws about 11amps. You can't have anything else running on the circuit. Like a toaster oven, Microwave oven or the Refrigerator.

Hi there...my keurig machine is 3.5 years old and has never ever tripped the breaker in my kitchen. Until today...tried plugging it in 3 or 4 times...different outlets....unplugged everything in the kitchen. I'm pretty sure mine has a short so since it has NEVER tripped the gfci before today I'm just going to put it in the bin.

I got a B60 for Christmas and measured it with a P3 Kill A Watt.- Mine takes about 4 minutes to heat water from unplugged- When idle, it consumes 5-6 watts, with infrequent spikes to 400 watts to keep heated, and during brewing- After a brew cycle, when it pumps new water it spikes to 1500 watts for about a minute- A brew cycle uses less than 0.02kWh- Mine used a total of 0.67kWh in a 24 hour period including 5 brew cycles- At $0.15 per kWh, that's around 10 cents a day to leave it heated 24/7.

The toaster part of ours just quit working after six months too! And we hardly use it! We went to Target, bought a new one, plug it in to make sure it worked, and the thing started smoking! It was making noises like it was shorting out and had an electrical burning smell to it. We packed it up, took it back, and now we are on our THIRD egg and muffin toaster. It's day two and it's still working okay...but i'm not trusting it.

Mine unit is not hot. I'm pulling twice as many watts (~235W). I run for 5 hours. Its sounds like you have a problem, maybe a fire hazard. I'm not sure of the electrical specs, if you have a voltmeter you might try measuring the voltage or amps.

Hello, I've had mine for a little over a year and feel it's a good tool for the household electrical measurements. I started out measuring my fridge, washer & dryer, computers etc;. My main concern was the lighting in the house. At about 6 months I was getting a pretty good idea that this was a valuable tool for me. It was this tool that convinced me to change the way we do laundry with how much clothing to wash and dry at on time. Also changed to LED's for lighting. The Belkin wised me up to the coffee maker using power when not in use. At about 12 months I realized a 41% decrease in my electric bill. Accurate, I think so. Especially when your on a fixed income like me. I hope this helps you. Thank you. Dave

Check wires to Neon Bulb in power supply (on Top of unit) Stiff FRAGILE wires have broke on mine because of constantly blowing back and forth when windy! I am LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT NOT FOUND UNDER "BULBS" for BK-40D!I will improvise for now!

look up the power consumption in the manual - I just found one Jura coffee maker that consumes 1,300w which will blow any fuse protecting a 1,000w power supply. You will need to have your converter at least 30-50& over rated for the appliance - this should be listed somewhere online so the blown fuses is probably telling you that your converter is under sized

I don't know. It happened shortly before the coffee maker went out completely. It always took quite a lot of cleaning cycles with vinegar and water for the light to go out before, but this time it just wouldn't go out. And we always cleaned it soon after the clean light showed up, so not sure why this unit acted as it did. I just read the other answers to your question, and we did follow the directions in the manual. We selected the clean cycle and pulled out the filter and still had issues.

My breaker is just fine. Are you sure it isn't the brand of coffee?Is that really your name? Interesting coincidence.A.L. Banke

I have four of those. Same thing happened to one of mine. I recommend a lamp dimmer. Saves energy, and the look is warmer and better in my opinion. I think mine blew cause I had all four of them on one extension cord. But after installing the dimmer I haven't had any more problems.

Funny you should ask! I went down to my basement the other day and the light was OUT! The unit is supposed to be under warranty for 5 years. It's been two years since I had it installed. I have already spoken with the folks at Intermatic and will be sending the unit to them for their tech guy to take a look at it to see what went wrong. No matter how this goes, I won't regret having the unit -- if it took a hit that would have taken out my well pump or septic pump, it's still worth the cost of replacing it. But there's still some hope that Intermatic will find that it was a defect in the unit and perhaps it will be repaired or I will be compensated somehow? Hey, if they repair it, I'll keep it just in case there's a problem going forward two more years from now! So - you're right - there is no reset switch and the units are NOT serviceable by the consumer - However, the company is really good and if you send them the unit, they will investigate what happened! Jury's still out on whether I'm just out the cost - we shall see!

we didnt even bother after it blew all the circuits in the house we took it back! BTW! Do a search on google about it blowing circuit breakers and see them all.. Our Walmarts have had 22 returned in the last two weeks for the same problem!

Hmm That does sound like a serious issue! I cannot say that I have had that problem yet and I have 8 units installed in my house. It sounds to me like the unit is placed on a circuit that is beyond the recommended load which can easily happen. In other words, this issue sounds like people are using the units on circuits that were already poorly wired. Just my thoughts.

We have the noise problem as well with the B60. It's jarring and is indicative of engineering scrimping to save a few bucks in the design of the machine. It's a disconnect I don't understand -- make a world-class coffee maker that's handicapped by its extraordinary noise whenever the pump is in use. As for "instantly," well, I can wait the whole 60 seconds while the machine warms up after it's turned on. If I were drinking coffee throughout the day, I might do differently, but since I only drink it in the morning, I only turn it on in the morning.

Mine did this when dimming pot was unplugged from board inside (shipping abuse). Removed screws plugged pot back in (only goes one way), worked fine.

We just had the same problem this morning (Christmas morning) while trying to prepare a bunch of dishes that require blending. Same scenario ... we've used it a ton since purchasing it a couple months ago, and after one particularly full blender cup turned it off and now it won't come back on (alternate blinking lights).Anyone else have this problem?

Hi back, sorry about the problems you are having - it sounds bad. I have not had that happen with my machine, so I expect there is a problem with yours. The over heating is worrisome, and that kind of thing has lead to fires in other appliances, so I strongly recommend you return it for a replacement! Best of luck to you. Just read other comments and it sounds like others have had that problem. I only make 1 loaf a week, so have not had to let mine cool down before making another loaf.

My light stayed on even after I cleaned the machine. I called Cuisinart and was told to unplug the coffee maker, let it sit for a few minutes and plug it back in. You will have to reset the clock, but the light will stay off. My light goes on every time I make more than 6 cups of coffee.
