Cuisinart DC-2000

My Cuisinart DC-2000 Coffee maker stopped working this morning. It has a limited 3 year warranty if you can show a receipt but I don’t remember where I kept the receipt when I bought it 2 years ago so in desperation I wanted to get a new one right away but a different brand this time because this coffee maker was pricy and to only work in a short period of time it felt like I bought a lemon.

How I fixed my Cuisinart DCC-2000 Coffee Maker
