My Cuisinart KUA-17, about 3-4 years old, boiled water last night, but did not shut off automatically, and now won't turn on. Can I get it fixed?

I'm not sure. Mine is 14 yrs old and started doing a similar thing this week. It then stopped and is working fine now. I am not sure if these small appliances are worth fixing,

Hello, the exact same happened to mine after about 1 year of use. I removed the unit, drained it and opened up the top. On mine, one of the connections from the thermostat to the heating element had broken. I repaired mine with some silver solder and a small butane torch. It's been working great ever since. That was approx 2 years ago. My advice is, it's not working anyway, so just tinker around with it. Just remember to put the heating element in water before you power it up or you may burn it up.

We've had the same issue with our coffee maker. Unscrewed the plate on the bottom of the machine and found an orange "rubber" water hose had cracked and is leaking. I was able to remove the hose, off the cracked portion and reinstall with just enough length remaining, though this will probably happen again. I will go to a hardware store to look for replacement hose materials, its not too hard to replace with a needle nose pliers or forceps are best. I don't know if this is an issue with cheap materials or city water issues, nevertheless I was disappointed and will not be buying another Cuisinart. Its only about 1.5 yrs old.

I can't answer your question. I believe you would need to have a professional come in and look at the unit. If you are not getting hot water, it sounds like either no power to the heating elements or the elements have gone bad. In either event, a professional could trouble shoot the unit and tell you.

I love mine but haven't had it for over a year. My mother though has had her keurig for 3 years and it still works fine, did you clean it regularly? If you do not clean these regularly they can become almost like clogged up and will stop working so make sure to follow the care instructions.

Mine automatically goes to keep warm, as you said, so perhaps you will need to have it replaced. It only boils for about 10 minutes. Hope that helps!

Sorry that happened, and I wish I could help, they do not make that pot anymore, I called and emailed them to no avail. Do you have the booklet any more? Never mind, I just looked at mine, and it hasn't got any sort of answer to that, good luck, I have to throw mine out, it has no replaceable carafe!! What a waste.

I would email the Kruzco customer service, they replaced one for me because the lid wouldn't seat properly. Not had a problem with it shutting off after 4hours. K

Since I have had the entire kettle replaced THREE times over the past ONE year because it just FAILED TO FUNCTION so I look at your problem with a degree of "amusement." Suggest you contact the manufacturer its an 800 number Google it if you have to, but quite honestly, l'd leave well-enough alone. Good luck!

I wouldn't buy it if I needed to boil water for 7 minutes. You could keep forcing it to turn on by resetting the lever up, but it would quickly shut off. Maybe the lever would break because you would be turning it on so many more times than with normal use. I would find an electric pot I've seen (and bought) that just has a dial and you turn it on and off with the dial (It doesn't shut off automatically).

Probably best to check with Cuisinart directly. Either call or on their website.

While I don't have the unit (bought it for a friend), if the item isn't working, and you can't return it - if the item is heating, I'd try to see if "maybe" the water spouts became clogged? If you have no other recourse, you may wish to check with the manufacturer and ask them what they suggest? It may be something as simple as steam-cleaning the machine with something they've found works well?

Mine has the same. E R. It won't turn on if I unplug and replug. Had it 2 yrs maybe. Will call manufacturer.

It has not happened to us. Maybe the computer chip is defective. Contact Cuckoo. It is possible to unplug the cooker and wait 10 seconds then plug in and restart. If that does not work then contact cuckoo.

I would call the Company, I have one and it has done really good. I have had mine for about two years and love it. I use it every day, I make all my coffee and tea with the water and that is the only water I drink. I hope you can get it fixed. Wish I could have been more help.

I would guess it is an electronic problem. I would ask for a new one if relatively new, or it could be just a buildup of particles from cooking, etc.. Contact Kidde.
