Actually, Skyraider (or someone else) posted the firefighter documents that stated it was caused by a wire being worn out, so the Keurig didn't even run when it happened.
Basically, Charb, in their unlimited wisdom, thought it was a good idea to jam a cable above their bathroom door and it eventually was worn out so much, it shorted out.
And whenever I think about it, I feel the need to point out how scary that is: As long as the Keurig is running, you can assume someone is awake and going to notice the fire rather soon... if that IS the source of the fire. It wasn't though, and the fire could have happened at any other time... for instance when both Chris and Snorlax were asleep. Let that sink in for a while: there is a really good chance Christory could have ended with a two-fold obituary. I am so fucking glad it didn't.

Coffee makers usually still pull current when they're plugged in to support the timer feature.

Man, I wish I would have seen the reactions. There's a lot of things Chris simply can't deal with, like being called the wrong name or someone claiming to be him. He can't fathom his frothing rage is the exact thing the people want and he supplies it by the gallon. Also, he's gullible as fuck.
I don't know how feasible it would have been back in the day, but just imagine Chris' reaction if Liquid Chris had used a greenscreen and an image of Chris' room to pretend he's making videos in BC14.

This. Shit like that would drive him nuts. But you don't even need to go that high tech. Like, what if you just did basic stuff to show that the audience is confused.

Like a poll showing that 60% of the viewers think Liquid is the real one, 35% think CWC is the real one, and 5% undecided. It shows that Liquid is winning, but just barely. Heh, that 5% might even bother Chris more than than the 60%.

But it'd show Chris that he hasn't lost yet, so he can still keep on fighting.

Standby current is usually pretty low, something like 3v.

A heating element, though, is basically a short circuit that turns resistance into heat, and those generate a lot of heat. This often warms up the power cord and even the outlet and the wires behind it. This is why cords for things like hot plates are usually thicker than those for normal consumer electronics.

It got so frayed that those became too thin to sustain this and heated enough to cause a fire, or else sparks jumped and caused it.

Jesus, I would ask what was he thinking but I seriously doubt he was thinking.

I hope that's not what he wore to court today.

The saddest thing about Christian not making videos is he wears some RIDICULOUS outfits in public.

Oh yeah, I'm aware. Just pointing out that the coffee maker being off wouldn't preclude electricity.

Did he know enough to take it off in court?

Apparently he takes it off if he's inside or driving. The full outfit was that dress with a t-shirt worn underneath. Then he wore sneakers and white gym socks that went all the way up his calves. It was a sight to behold from what I hear.

Hard to see him in sunhats but if it's going to be that from now on...

The outfits he puts together these days are epic dude. It's a real shame he doesn't do videos or pictures more often. We're really missing out.
 
Somebody get Tim Gunn or Ru Paul on the line, we have a fashion emergency, people!

But seriously...What's with the hat?
