I am on my second DCC-2000 and am having the same problem. It has stopped working reliably and comes on randomly. Sometimes i can turn the switch and it will not work. Then about 10 minutes later it may start. Called cuisanart and they will not replace it again since the original is out of warranty. I would not buy this unit as it seems to have this known issue that many other people have run into and the service rep acted like she had no idea of the problem. Although, she did say newer units have been "modified" which tells me they know about it.
