Depends on the wattage of your converter..if its a coffee machine, you need a larger converter that will handle the wattage needs of the coffee machine..say if its a 1200 watt unit, you easily need a 1500 watt converter..I lived in germany 3 years..our stereos were 110.. we used huge converters some in exess of 50,000 watts(huge sound system)its a math thing..usually you will need 10% more converter for the wattage size of your appliance..

tried ALL solutions on this & other blogs-even to point of CAREFULLY drilling out plastic to get bit-holder down to the 'MAGIC FASTENER' level and then trying: #10 TORX; ## 7-10 TORX; 'security TORX(with hole in middle) & several other 'secret bits'---ALL TO NO AVAIL !!!!! :0(
then, in SHEER DESPERATION, called Cuisinart @ 800-726-0190 [this is on SAT morning 0915 on 3/28/09] got VERY HELPFUL/KIND/PATIENT rep who was ready to do the " $10 +old one AND $10 for new one" routine, when she said: "Did you try re-plugging into wall socket after 1 hour? That's the re-set time" !!! while she was on the line (they work 'til 1730 EDT on SAT/SUN & 'til 1100 M-F !!!) wife tried this highly-technical/super-secret solution -and- IT #$%^*'ING WORKED !!!!!! ;0) I'm sitting here drinking coffee outta it and posting this solution.

SOURCE: I need two rubber hoses that supply water to the heating element. Where can I acquire these?

try a auto parts store they should have what you need for a fraction of the cost of parts at a service/ repair center. Mike

I just moved to France and brought my Juki TL-2010Q from the USA. I plugged it in with a European adaptor and it blew the fuse? Is it fixable? Where do I get a replacement fuse? Thank you! Suzanne

Did you mean an 'adaptor' (as in two-pin to 3-pin) or a transformer ?
It is a DIFFERENT electrical system in Europe to the USA.
The USA is 110v and Europe is 240 or 220v. The machine is
probably burned out. You would need to take it to a dealer to be checked. You can ONLY use USA electrical equipment with a TRANSFORMER, so that it can function on the different European electrical system. Good luck !

Is there a fuse? How do I fix it?

It might be dead, but...

Here is the basic troubleshooting for the Cuisinart coffee makers:
Make sure all baskets are in proper place - especially if unit is beeping.
Do not use a paper and a gold-tone or other permanent filter at the same time.
Unplug for LONGER THAN 15 full minutes to reset.
Clean by brewing 2 oz of distilled white vinegar/2 oz water.
If these methods fail, the unit probably requires replacement - call Cuisinart as they have a longer-than-standard warranty.

Will this appliance work in England

If the power requirements for line voltage are compatible with the UK supply, then yes it will work. If the unit was designed for 120-volt operation in the US, then no. You'd burn it up on the UK 240-volt power system.

Hmm. Better late than never. Just got home with ours. Same problem. Called Cuisinart 800 number. Catch is on top of handle. There is a slight lip on each side there. Pop it up with pressure on both sides simultaneously. To replace, line up lid carefully with top of carafe and press firmly until it pops back on.
