Err2 is a failed heating element. There is no fix or replacement parts sold. I was lucky I had a receipt, even out of the year warranty they(KitchenAid) are still replacing it.
In reading the manual for this coffee pot, it needs to have the descaling procedure run. The manual lists running a mixture of 6 cups water and 6 cups vinegar in a normal brew cycle...twice to clean hard water deposits from the machine. It says to make sure to remove the filter basket. Once the procedure is complete, unplug the unit and replug in to remove the E2 code.
Cleaning scale from coffee maker DO NOT USE THAT MUCH VINEGAR!
Put a tiny bit of vinegar in the carafe and fill carafe the rest of the
way with water. Run that vinegar/water through machine. Using another
container, fill machine with plain water and run that through. Repeat
until the vinegar taste is gone. If you do not run lots of plain water
through the machine after, your coffee will taste
like...um...disgusting!
**************
To clean hard water deposits from a
coffeemaker use distilled white vinegar. You may need to use as much as
a gallon if the scale buildup is really bad. Fill clean coffee pot
one half full of vinegar and run through machine as if making
coffee. Repeat this process several times using fresh vinager until it
comes out clear. Do this once a week and your maker will work much
better.
