A Krups KM7005 coffee maker/grinder doesn't heat or drip water .

you are correct ? i hope the heating element must work to boil water through the machine and check for the thermal fuse hidden with in the in line cord inside the machine. check all with test meter on continuity selection for electrical flow. thermal fuse got too hot and save the machine ,but the element is not on ! thermal fuses are not resettable ..and have to purchase them at your local Radio Shack 8-10amp rating in cases. and about $ 8.00 us each >^.^< good luck, let us know ?

Mine had the same problem ... all the lights are on, but no heating on the plate, and no dripping of water.

After a weekend on the workbench, I've mastered this machine. The KM7005 has 2 x MicroTemp G4 thermal cutoff (TCO) fuses which interrupt the Live line, for overheat protection. Mine didn't overheat per se, but the TCO blew anyway. Not reset-able ... need to be replaced with a soldering iron. I'll be happy to advise you to fix this, or fix it for you.

There are two possibilities:

1) Are you possibly overfilling? There is a small indentation at the back of the reservoir where the water can escape if you fill too much. It's easy to spot.

2) If you're definitely not overfilling, only other possibility is the thin plastic/rubber tube inside the machine that takes the water from the bottom of the reservoir, past the heater plate, to the top of the filter where it's supposed to drip down thru the coffee. Sometimes this tube perishes from heat/age and starts to leak.

WARNING - there is a lot of electicity and circuitry down at the bottom part of the KM7000/KM7005. If you have a leaky wayer tube, best stop using the rig completely. You don't want some of that leaking water to touch the live parts inside the rig :)

The heating plate is actually your hot water heater for the unit and it has most likely failed. The water flows through the heating plate and heats the water for brewing. Krups replaced my whole coffee brewer.

The Krups Burr Grinder GVX2 featured in the picture is not a coffee maker, per se, it only grind coffee beans to use in other coffee makers. It is a lousy machine, and I would recommend returning it or not buying it.
DO NOT PUT WATER INTO THIS MACHINE. It will cause electric shock.
