It's been brewing coffee both when its programmed or not. this morning Sept 21,2014 it won't brew the coffee, it justs beeps
I see two problems that you've described.
First, you have a bad empty-reservoir sensor. Mine went out on my first Mr. Coffee within the first month also. The purpose of the sensor is to trigger the beeping to simply let you know when the coffee is done. The coffeemaker would normally work fine otherwise.
Second, you have a bad heating element. This is the core function of your coffeemaker and renders it useless for anything but a nice warming plate.
I recommend replacing the coffeemaker.
In the future, make sure you do not add water to the reservoir unless the coffeemaker has been turned of for at least five minutes. This will help prolong the life of the heating element.
The heating element will naturally degrade over time. But, it can incur sudden damage when the reservoir is refilled with water too soon - while the element is still hot. Because of the simple design, if the coffeemaker is on, then both the warming plate's heating element and the reservoir's heating element are on. So, after a brewing cycle is complete, the reservoir's heating element stays on. Without any in the reservoir to keep it cool, the heating element superheats. So, if water is put in the reservoir while the coffeemaker is on or before the element has adequately cooled, the sudden burst of steam from the water contacting the element can be quite violent.
Just got mine week ago and it gave me the 5 beeps. I took the bottom off (4 Phillips screws and 2 torx) immediately saw one the wires for the heating tubes was not connected. Need a solder tool or maybe some wire to place it back. Was working fine after that. If you see that the wires are all connected then not sure but if you watch YouTube videos you will see the red blue and grey wire that I’m talking about. Easy fix without running to store. The temporary fix was to just place wire against its contact. Seems to stay in place but will easily come back off with a slight bump. Solder kit for $20 on amazon which can be used for future fixes on other electronics in the future.

I had the same problem and fixed it. I took the bottom off. There is two hoses there which one has a (valve)plastic thing with little ball in it. I took the hoses off and the valve out of the hoses. I then cleaned the hoses,valve and the pipe arround the burner. There was like hard white dirt in them. I put back on the hoses without the valve. Tried to make coffee and it worked but was noisy . I ran it like that for a few days and still worked but noisy. I then took hose off and put back in valve. Then tried it again. It still worked but now it is quiet. Clean parts,hoses,valve,and pipe near burner good. Worked for me. Good Luck on yours.
