The reports of property damage include a significant kitchen fire and damage to countertops, cabinets and a wall, said the CPSC.
The recall involves about 900,000 GE 12-cup digital coffee makers sold exclusively at Walmart stores nationwide.

i need a filter basket with a drip stop cant find any part number need one can ya help
I have model #169209 and I kept getting errors, I would unplug it to reset it like my insturctions said and now the pot lights up but it won’t perk now. What do I need to do. I have had my pot for 3 months. I always use this brand and the last coffee maker I had for around 2 years, so I don’t think this is normal. The error was mainly #3 for about a month, so I would push the TBS to get it to finish brewing. What is my next step? I don’t have the money to go out and purchase another one.
Coffee Dad: This new model is having many problems like the old one that was recalled. Take it back to Walmart and they should replace it.
I need to know how to set the timer on Model# 160164 GE coffee maker
I also have model #169209. ERo5 comes up rather frequently on my display. I live in Europe and the tap water here has a high amount of calcium, etc. I’ve found through trial and error that if you fill the pot up diluted 1/1 of vinegar water solution, pour it in, and hold down the clean cycle button for 5 seconds, it will take out the impurities which have built up inside. After that, I can expect to be error message free for atleast a month. Also, you may want to consider bottled water for coffee making.
what is the 1- 4 button
y coffee maker beeps in the middle of brewing coffee & on the digital display it says error 5. Is this the same thing? If so, I dont see a 1-4 button, where is it located?
