I have the Krups FMF5 Gives a 'low water alarm' when it's full of water. Take a cheap multimeter from Wal-mart find which themal fuse on the heating element doesn't have continuity. Should be two of them on the unit, one on each side of the silver 'U' shaped element, They are covered in a white sleeve, with a metal retainer holding it to the element. They connect to the power wires White one and Black one going to the element. Mine was a SEFUSE rated for 214 degrees C, Less than $2.00 at Radio Shack I replaced it with a 226 degree C rated SEFUSE which is better than removing it entirely. (it is a safety fuse) I reused the old crimps holding it to the wires, Don't know if solder would hold up. Works like a charm.

Problem was a stuck float in the small water reservoir to the rear left of the unit.. Remove top and left hand side panel. Small reservoir can be seen at the bottom left. Remove small screw and slide off the cable assembly above. You should then see into the reservoir and the float. Clean float and reservoir and reassemble.

It sounds like the water sensor has gone out, that is probably causing a short that is preventing the pot from tuning on. If the sensor is not bad then it is probably a short in the circuit board itself. You will need to contact krups to have it replaced under warranty. If it's not under warranty then check with a small appliance shop for an estimate, however in most cases it is just cheaper to scrap it and buy a new coffee pot.

If you pour water into the machine, and water comes out, then the reservoir is full of water. There is no way the water can bypass the reservoir and go directly into the pot.
