Introduction

Have you ever gone to plug in your Cuisinart DCC-3200 coffee maker, and you realize no matter what you do it just won't turn on? You try to plug it into different outlets and no matter where you go you can't seem to get it to work. Now, before you throw out the whole machine and go scrolling online to buy a new one why not try to fix it yourself? This guide will go over the step-by-step replacement process of a faulty power cord on a Cuisinart DCC-3200 coffee maker. All recommended tools for this repair are listed at the beginning of this guide.

The power cord on your Cuisinart DCC-3200 coffee maker is what connects it to an electrical utility or power supply. Without it your application will not be able to work.

Step 7 requires you to use a Wire Stripper to twist a wire. Depending on the state of the wire it may require you to Solder it back on with a soldering iron.

Tools

Step 1

First, please be sure that the device is unplugged and that there is no water in the reservoir.
Check the power cord for frays or cracks.

Step 2

If the cord appears fine, please flip the device upside-down and unscrew the 4 screws on the bottom.

Step 3

Remove the bottom panel and unclip the power cord from the panel.

As of late 2023 the cord is clamped to the bottom panel by a piece of plastic held by two screws.
