I have my second Mr Coffee TM33 since April 14,2014. Both had On/Off switches that broke. Anyone else have this problem?

Sometimes I have to push in the switch a little harder to activate it.I think in time the switch on mine will stop working altogether.Also,the strenth adjuster slide control is very loose on mine but it does work.I think the company should address these issues along with the cheap fragile pitcher.

Have only had mine a month. Directions say to turn off, unplug. So guess there is no off switch.?

No problem with the switch. My only problem is making the tea the correct strength. It always seems too strong.
1888247
Used mine twice and the switch died on the third use. Tried holding in it using some pressure as the website suggested with no luck. Mr. Coffee is sending me a new one free of charge. Hopefully unit #2 doesn't have the same issue.

We used ours about a dozen times and then the On/Off switch spontaneously stopped working. I'm not holding my breath on them sending me a replacement as it has been just over 90 days since time of purchase.

I used it once, no problems. Now it won't turn on. I held it 5 seconds, as the site said. I cycled the button. Nothing. It is now an expensive paperweight for my napkins. A piece of rubbish. Don't buy.

Yes mine failed shortly after purchase. bought a second one and the carafe broke.

Sometimes the switch will not close till I push it a second time, it is not broken yet (about 8 months old).

That is very sad that the glass pot broke. I have worried about the same thing happening each time I wash it as it seems so fragile. I wonder if you contacted Mr. Coffee directly if you could order a new replacement pot? I think that might be your best bet. Hope this helps!

I recommend calling Mr. Coffee directly. Maybe they have received other complaints from people having the same problem. In my experience, Mr. Coffee is a customer friendly company.

They're all like that. Piece of very faulty engineering. Mine also leaks out the end of the handle, dripping coffee on the counter unless I remember to put something under it. 2 weeks ago, just short of a year I've had it, it QUIT.

Yes, I loved my machine when it worked. My first machine worked for one roasting cycle, then died. My second machine worked perfectly for six months then overheated badly and died. The company rep either had an e-mail box that was full, voice mail that was full or did not return calls. I would NEVER buy from them again.

I was able to get it working again but unfortunately I was told it is only a temporary fix. I do not recommend this coffee maker. If you must do a keurig machine I recommend buying the cheapest one possible since they all use really crappy parts and are poorly designed.

Make sure you can return it if it fails. It did make good coffee while it worked, but I had 2 fail within 6 months before I gave up on it. Check out Bonavita coffe makers - very simple, even lacks a shutoff if you remove the coffee pot when it's brewing, but makes great, hot coffee at ideal brewing temp.

I had the DCC1200 and it lasted about 4-1/2 years. Went to make coffee last week and it wouldn't brew. All the other programs worked, but not being able to make coffee ended our relationship. Used 1 hour/off setting and never had a problem with overheated or burned coffee. Looking at the 1100 because all my appliances are white.

I have had my machine for a year. I use it several times a day, for both cappuccino and americano, and have had no problems. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones, but I love the machine. It's all I use for coffee.

I am on my second set of two and I only have one left working. I am waiting for the last one to bite the dust, which should happen this weekend, since I am planning a long trip, they usually fail when I need a hot cup most. If it happens as expected then I will send them back for credit. I won't be suckered a 3rd time!

I think it's a great coffee pot. Keeps the coffee hot for HOURS--MUCH better, in that regard, than the Mr. Coffee one we now have. The Cuisinart's 12-cup capacity is also great. The problem is, we had bought two of them, and they both decided to quit on us with no warning. The second one quit about a month after we bought it. I didn't bother trying to send it back because I was too disgusted and didn't want a replacement. For all I know, the Mr. Coffee will do the same. The electronics are screwed up on the Cuisinart; even before it stopped working both times, the clock and timed-brewing features froze, and we had to plug it in and unplug it to get it to work. I wouldn't buy it. I think it's a great coffee pot. Keeps the coffee hot for HOURS--MUCH better, in that regard, than the Mr. Coffee one we now have. The Cuisinart's 12-cup capacity is also great.

I have the same problem after one year of use. Coffee unit functions fine. I'll live with the cosmetic problem.

I'm sorry. Mine does that also. It only brews a couple of cups and shuts off completely. I kept turning it back on until it got to be a nuisance. So now I make the coffee in the glass carafe and transfer the fresh coffee into the stainless carafe when it is done. The stainless carafe has a magnetic bottom so the machine "knows" when you are using it. The warming plate doesn't turn on when using the stainless carafe. Seems to be a defect in the design. Maybe someday the manufacturer will figure it out.

Mine went for a year and a half. At the end when it brewed only a small amount would come out so you had to hit brew 4 times to get a full cup. Then it stopped working at all.

Both these things happened to me too but at different times. First the filter disintegrated when trying to wash it like the other commenter's did. I thought about replacing it but just ended up using the kettle without the filter. It was fine for about another year when the switch started to malfunction. So they are separate issues but apparently common problems. It's a good kettle and mine lasted for about 3 1/2 years with the daily use. (I drink a lot of tea every day.) It's good enough that I'm considering getting another Aroma kettle to replace this one now that it has died.

Hello AS. I have not had a problem with my same coffee maker. It has worked at our expectations, and we are heavy coffee drinkers. Two pots brewed per day and weekends at least four. This includes brewing teas & hot water for soups and such. Hope this helps. I did buy a similar product years ago from the Navy Exchange. Called customer service to have repaired/replaced under warranty. No problem gave me address to mail to four days later my replacement arrived and I had just send the broke one back. I can't complain about that. Good product and my experience, "THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT". Hello AS. I have not had a problem with my same coffee maker.

I'm sorry to hear that you had a problem with your carafe. I know they sell these parts on Mr Coffee.com. I would also write to customer service and let them know what happened. Maybe they'll replace it for free. Good luck!
