A few folks has been asking me about FlexBrew units that just go dark. No lights. No response on the panel. Nothing. These dont have fuse inside them, so no easy fuse to replace.
From what I see, there are three general cause. The first is a software glitch. The fix is to unplug the unit for 5 to 10 minute and then plug it back in. This usually fix the problem for a chunk of the FlexBrew units that have software glitches. The second is that the electrical component on the control board have failed. You have to open the unit up and look for signs of this. The third is that the display panel itself has failed. The ribbon cable to the control panel has worked loose and the unit is dead, but the control board itself is fine. Just reseat the panel.
Given these three causes, which is the more common?
The reset is the easiest fix, but the most common cause are the display panel.
