The product, in the report: 12 cup Drip Coffeemaker Stainless Steel color
Had Kenmore Drip Coffeemaker model 100.40706310 ready to start brewing at 6:45 a.m. Around 1 a.m. heard coffeemaker beeping, checked on it and it had brewed already. Pushed the stop/start button to shut the power off and checked the time thinking something had happened to make it brew at the wrong time. Time was still set to brew at 6:45 a.m.. Went back to bed and heard it beeping again. It turned on all by itself. At this point I unplugged it. I hesitate to think what may have happened if the water hadn’t been in the coffeemaker. I tried to brew a pot this morning and the power kept cycling off and on. This coffee maker has only been used for 4 months. This is a dangerous glitch in my opinion that could lead to a fire. I hope this is isolated, but felt I should report it.

The product, in the report: WHITE, ELECTRIC COFFEE MAKER, MODEL NUMBER KBC12WHT (238.69327). 12 CUPS WITH A PROGRAMMABLE TIMER.
I had just made a fresh pot of coffee. When I picked up the hot pot of coffee, the handle tab broke off. The top tab that attaches to the top of the pot broke off just as I had removed it from the maker, landing on the counter top, spilling coffee on the counter top.
