3 beeps means plugged water line. Take off the bottom of the coffee maker with a small phillips head screwdriver. Use pliers (I used needle nose type) to remove the wire clamps holding on the silicone water tubes to the hot plate. In my case, the water line from the reservoir to the plate was clogged with something I couldn't see until I blew on the hose and it popped out, could have been scale, grounds etc Clean with vinegar. Back in service!
I've had this problem for over a year, it seems. Brewing a large cup takes about five or six tries to get it all the way through, and the hot plate turns off so it has to be consumed quickly if you want hot coffee. Two mornings ago, I discovered if I put about a sixteenth-cup of water on the hot plate, the coffee maker looks like a witch's cauldron while it brews, and beeps three times... but does not turn off and will brew a complete pot of coffee and keep it hot. As a safety tip, turn off manually when done!

First Mr Coffe Brand coffee maker Ive ever bought. I've bought the $10 cheapo makers that have lasted me 10 years no problems. I think Ill go back to the cheap brand. $40+ and it has barely lasted a month. Mr Coffee officially SUCKS. If I have to work on it at a month old, its garbage.
It was $20 @ walmart...buy a new one,not mr.coffee!
About as helpful as square tires...

SOURCE: MR COFFEE FTX49. Brewing starts, then stops
Mine just started to do the exact same thing. So I decided to clean it using the "Clean" program and just water. I put the brewer through the cleaning program 3 times - each time it would brew water from 12 cups to 8 cups, I'd tap the brewer on the countertop, it would brew from 8 cups to 4 cups, tap it again, and it would brew the remaining cups. So, I called the Mr. Coffee help line (800-672-6333). The most-likely problem is that the hose is no longer attached in the water reservoir. The help line suggested that I take it in to a service center. I live in Urbana, IL and the closest service center is in Oak Lawn, IL - 2 hours away from me!!
Here is my solution:
1) Buy another coffee brewer.
or
2) Smash your current Mr. Coffee brewer into a million pieces (this relieves stress) and go buy another coffee brewer (probably stay away from Mr. Coffee products).
Hope this helps.

Check the plate where the decanter sits and see if it's hot if not after turning it on then the element that heats the water is open or the thermostatic switch is defective and stuck open on the thermal fuse open. If you do not have the knowledge and equipment to check the things I mentioned and you have only had it for a short time take it back to the store. Sometimes you can call the number located on the warranty and they will tell you to cut the plug receptacle off and mail it to them and they will send you a new one.

Mr.Coffee guarantees their machines for one year from the date of purchase. If you still have a receipt I would contact them. If not there could be a problem with the board on the inside of the machine. Which, unfortunately, is not available yet to purchase so your machine can be fixed.

Usually answered in minutes!
Addendum to my original tip: I've found it necessary to tilt the
carafe slightly with the tip of a thin knife for the first minute or
two of brewing to allow heat to escape from the hot plate faster.
When doing this, not only does the coffee maker brew an entire pot and
keep it hot without stopping, it doesn't even beep! It's just
like good ol' times with Mr. Coffee. Safety tip: overriding a safety
feature for a hot cup of coffee is potentially dangerous. Be sure
to turn off manually when done. It might turn itself off eventually,
but why take the risk?
