# Thermador: SWITCH OFF WITH POWER SWITCH AND THEN BACK ON AFTER 30 SEC!

The TCM24 asks for a hard restart at its power switch when it runs warm or when the brewing unit drags from coffee residue.

## What SWITCH OFF WITH POWER SWITCH AND THEN BACK ON AFTER 30 SEC! actually means.

The TCM24 asks for a hard restart at its power switch when it runs warm or when the brewing unit drags from coffee residue. Thermador gives both causes on its troubleshooting page, so a restart that does not hold points toward the brewing unit.

What to do when SWITCH OFF WITH POWER SWITCH AND THEN BACK ON AFTER 30 SEC! shows on the coffee machine

### Kind of code Heating and temperature

The thermoblock or boiler did not reach its set heat in time, overshot it, or its sensor reported something the board did not believe. Scale lining the heater is the usual start, followed by a tired heating element, a sensor, or a thermal cutout that opened to protect the machine. A descale may bring the heat back; a cutout that trips again, steam where there should be none or a breaker that goes means the power stays off.

### Usually leads to Coffee machine heater repair

Thermador builds this

### Built-in coffee system

The coffee machine set flush into a tall kitchen cabinet, filled from a water tank behind its front, grinding beans and brewing each cup on its own before sliding out on rails for service.

Thermador builds this

### Plumbed coffee system

The built-in coffee machine connected to the house water supply, filling itself through an inlet valve and sometimes draining its rinse water to a line of its own, so nobody ever lifts out a tank.

## In Thermador's own words

> The coffee machine is too warm. Let the coffee machine cool down.

## Questions about SWITCH OFF WITH POWER SWITCH AND THEN BACK ON AFTER 30 SEC!.

### Can I clear SWITCH OFF WITH POWER SWITCH AND THEN BACK ON AFTER 30 SEC! myself?

Open the door, set the power switch off, wait at least thirty seconds and switch back on. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Where is the power switch this Thermador message refers to?

Inside the front door of the TCM24. The I button only sends the machine into energy saving mode, so the message asks for the power switch itself.

### How do I get the brewing unit out of a Thermador built-in?

With the machine switched off and cool, open the door, remove the brewing unit's protective cover and release the unit with its lever, as the Use and Care Guide shows. Do it only once the machine has cooled.

### Is a Thermador that asks to restart every day worth repairing?

Usually yes. A daily restart request on a clean machine often traces to one part, such as the brewing unit drive or a temperature sensor, and the machine is designed to be serviced.
