SOURCE: coffee maker won't start and just beeps when plugged in
The door on the top is not closed properly. When you open the top door(cover),you will see a button that is located on the top of the grinder cover. that is a switch that tells the coffee maker that the door is closed and can safely make coffee..please check that all parts are in place and top door(cover) is closed comepletly. good luck.
SOURCE: Setting the Time
First, turn the Function Knob (bottom-left of the Control Panel) to “Clock”.
Hours: Press and hold the “HR” button to go through the numbers quickly. When the number displayed approaches the desired setting, release and press(pulse) the button to advance one digit at a time.
Note: When the number passes 12, the PM light will be displayed on the LCD.
Minutes: Press and hold the “MIN” button to go through the numbers quickly. When the number displayed approaches the desired setting, release and press (pulse) the button to advance one digit at a time.
To finish setting time, turn the Function to any setting other than "Clock", or simply wait until the numbers stop blinking.

Suggestion was Descaling the Coffee Maker from KitchenAid Phoebe (I'm guessing customer support)

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 vinager. 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 vinager 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.
SOURCE: Kitchenaid mod#KCM511 - error 2
An ERR 2 may be cleared by a simple reset of the coffee maker. This
means unplugging the unit and plugging it back in. When powered back
on, select a brew function to see if the error reappears.
If the code does reappear, ERR 2 indicates an internal error with the computer of the
warming plate. This may be covered under Kitchenaid's 1 Year Hassle
Free Warranty. I would advise you to call Kitchenaid Customer Service
to see what options are available to you. Repair is not recommended, as
it is not cost effective for the company or the consumer.
Their toll-free telephone number is 1-800-541-6390.
SOURCE: Any problems w/ Kitchenaid coffee maker 511?
Nothing but problems! Spills,messes caused from poor engineering/design Finally a err2 message means the element is probably bad. Called kitchenaid and because ir is just beyond warranty repair they did offer a discount on a new one. I said No Thanks,I would not own another one.
