What Happens If You Run Coffee Maker Without Water?
If you run a coffee maker without water, the heating element will continue to heat up, and the lack of water in the reservoir will cause the tank to warp or melt. Additionally, if the carafe is left on the warming plate, it may become severely burnt, and the coffee maker itself may sustain damage, causing it to malfunction or stop working entirely. It is crucial to ensure that there is always water in the reservoir before turning on the coffee maker.
