Mr coffee iced coffee maker start button not working – how to troubleshoot Mr Coffee iced coffee maker button issue
Basic troubleshooting procedures
A common occurrence with Mr coffee iced coffee maker is the start button breaking after using the machine for some time.
When this happens, you can try to tape the button before turning it on- regular electrical tape should suffice here.
Bear in mind you might need to shift the button (the whole button) a little around for it to resume working.
Moreover, the start button might not be getting fully depressed after pressing it.
If you feel that this could be the issue, try this:
Simply use a strong thin wire to pull out the button.
Once you do that, insert a small spring inside the button such that it automatically raises itself each and every time you press it.
Mr Coffee iced coffee maker start button not working -Further troubleshooting
Moving on, there are other reasons that may render your start button unresponsive.
Let us have a look at them.
Power supply issues
The reason the button is not working could be due to a power connection problem as well
So make sure that you have connected your coffeemaker to a power outlet and that the power is turned on.
You could also try a different outlet just to be sure- the thing is once the coffee maker is plugged in(and water added), the start button should light up(as soon as it is pressed).
Check if there’s adequate water supply
Yep! You heard that right.
The thing is Mr Coffee iced coffee maker is able to detect the amount of water available in the water reservoir.
And if this water is not enough, the coffee maker simply won’t start.
So check the water level in your reservoir.
Additionally, Mr Coffee iced coffee maker has a water-level gauge on the front side so you can also use this gauge to check the water level.
Of course, if the water is not sufficient, add some more water and then press the start button once more.
Check for unbalanced or off-centered coffee filter
This is another possibility if your Mr coffee iced coffee maker start button won’t work.
Why?
Well, when the filter is not in its right position, the Mr Coffee iced coffee maker tends to “think” that there is no filter.
As a result, it will not start no matter how many times you press the start button.
To fix this, open the top lid of your coffee maker and then reposition the filter.
Now, if the problem persists, you might have a misshapen filter and you might have to replace it.
We recommend you go for the Easy Measure Filter by Mr Coffee(it’s an OEM part).

Mr coffee iced coffee maker won’t turn on at all
Now, the first suspect is usually a loose power cord.
Therefore, confirm that your coffee maker is well plugged into its own independent power outlet.
Also, check along the length of the cord to make sure that it is not damaged.
Next, be sure to check your mains to confirm that the circuit breaker is not tripped. If it is, be sure to flip it ON.
The outlet can also be the culprit so plug in the coffee maker into another power outlet and see if the issue is solved(it should, if your original outlet is defective).
Finally, if nothing still works, open the cord head of your coffeemaker to see if the fuse might be blown. If it is, simply get a new electrical fuse.
