You can hopefully fix the Breville coffee machine on/off problems through outside testing.
But if it is still not working, you will need to check for the inner problems too.
So, to check and fix turning on or off issues in your machine from the inner side, you will need the following tools.
1. A Screwdriver (cross or flat shaped, depending on your screw’s cuts)
2. Pliers (sometimes needed)
3. A Multimeter
You can use a multimeter to get help to make sure if any part needs replacement and test the conductivity.
So, let us start the procedure of fixing the problem of not turning on the Breville Oracle Touch Machine.
Solution 1: Replace the Broken Power Cord
First, you will need to check the power cord of your machine.
The power cord can possibly be damaged if you see your machine sometimes turns on and then turn off suddenly with a bit of movement.
At this time, you cannot be sure if it’s completely damaged but likely to be damaged.
This can happen due to keeping the cord tangled most of the time or due to being pressed strongly.
Sometimes, the damage is not visible, and it might look good from the outside.
But it doesn’t mean that it is fine on the inner side.
It might be broken from inside and that’s why careful inspection is necessary.
If you find the power cord damaged or broken, then you definitely need to repair it first.
If not repaired, then you need to buy a new power cord and replace the older one with the new one.
You can look your model up on google or a company website and order the new replacement cord to fix this problem.
Solution 2: Repair or Replace a Broken Knob
Unfortunately, you cannot confirm this as a problem from the outside.
Your machine could be operational.
So, it’s time to get started with your tools.
Unplug the Breville Oracle Touch machine, and remove its top lid.
You can find it usually where the screws are or at the bottom of the appliances.
Open the screws, identify the switch behind the knob and test the conductivity with your multimeter.
If there is no power, then you should replace it for sure.
Get a new power button and change the old knob with the new one to fix the power problem of your machine.
Solution 3: Change the Blown or Broken Fuse
If you see that your Breville coffee maker has stopped turning on right after a big blackout, then one of its fuses might have blown out.
Overheating of the machine can cause fuse or heating element damage.
If this happens, then you definitely need a new fuse replacement.
Locate your fuse and test it with your multimeter to make sure that the part is not working properly.
After that confirmation, remove the fuse and install the new one to solve the on/off problem of your machine.
Solution 4: Replace the Bad Thermostat
Most of the new Breville machines such as Oracle Touch are smart enough.
And it will show you if the machine’s thermostat is at fault or damaged.
It will automatically prevent you from using the machine in that condition.
Therefore, if you find the thermostat is broken, then just get it replaced with the new working thermostat.
If you don’t know how to do it, then get in touch the company customer support and tell them to replace it.
Solution 5: Change the Burnt or Damaged Circuit Board
A drastic power surge or a Breville Oracle Touch overheating issue can damage the circuit board of a machine.
It can be the main reason behind your machine’s not turning on problem.
This is the time to make an important decision to repair or replace the internal circuitry of the machine which gets damaged.
If the circuit board gets damaged, it severely affects the appliance performance because the circuit board is usually its central component which controls most of the internal functions.
You can call a technician or a company support executive to either repair or replace the old burnt out circuit board of your machine.
