My Cuisinart DCC-1150 is only 2 months old and has worked fine until today. The clean light was on this morning and I made a pot of coffee. After having coffee, I emptied coffee maker and filled reservoir with 1/3 vinegar and 2/3 water to clean it. Nothing happens, no clock, no light, no nothing. My outlet is fine, because other items work in it. Any suggestions? and if not, do I need to return to where I purchased it or return to Cuisinart?
Talked to Cuisinart tech support today and they told me to unplug and leave it for 2 hours... that resets it to the factory defaults. Worked for me...
Vinegar is not the best thing descaler vinegar remove calciumin little piece that might block thr rest of machine descaler produit melt calcium 1 part solution 1 part water fill the water tank start machine leave it running for few second turn off for 15 minute and repeat untill empty dont forget to rince the machine very good that stuff is very corosif but does the jobs thanks for using fixya pierre

Hello dhubert14,
This is a really common problem with the cuisinarts. I am most familiar
with the DCC-1200, but you may be able to solve the problem. This an indication that something is plugged up. Open the top of
the unit and in one of the corners you should find a filter stick or
column that is removable. Pull it out and open it up to clean out the
clogged up carbon filter in there. (You can later buy a new filter on
Amazon.) Clean out the debris from the bottom of the cavity. Replace
the stick into the cavity once cleaned. Now it's time to run through a
solution of 2 parts water and 1 part vinegar. Do this once or twice
with fresh solutions, then with a pot of fresh water. When the filter
stick is plugged up the sensor says its time to clean it, but most
people don't know about this fix. I hope this is really helpful to you, dhubert14. Positive feedback is appreciated. Good luck. NormanZ
