Removed base of coffee pot. Gained access to thermofuses(2 at hotplate) and checked for continuity. 1 fuse was bad, order by mail (4 Days) and repaired within 10 minutes by crimping new fuse in place with wire connectors.
Probably the hardest part of the repair was finding the correct size driver bits to access the component parts in the lower part of the coffee maker. There are two different sizes of t or star bits needed luckily I have every small size in a bit selection kit.

The thermal fuse is crimped connections and is a little ôfiddlyö but easy enough.

Repair took about an hour.
removed screws from base of machine, clipped old thermofuse with wire cutters and crimped new one on. About a 1/2 hour job because it was difficult to crimp, should have soldered.
used digital multi Meter to confirm fuse was blown after removed base of coffee maker then cut out old fuse, striped wire back and used the crimp fittings to attach the new fuse. Re installed the base and tested for brewing.
