Introduction

The hot plate is essential to the functioning of your coffeemaker. It not only heats up water in the machine before it is added to the coffee beans, but also keeps that water warm. A cracked hot plate can interfere with that process by no longer conducting heat, resulting in cold water and poor steeping for your beverages of choice.

Follow this guide to replace your cracked hot plate and be able to enjoy hot beverages once again.
