It's perfectly correct. I forgot [a fact. The fact is:] the coffee pot always overloads the circuit.

Correction: I forgot that the coffee pot always overloads that circuit. [ it means that there is a fault in one circuit only] Or you can say: I forgot that the coffee pot was on and it overloaded the circuit.

I think what was overloaded was my brain. The phrase is ok. I was reading it wrongly like if a sort of optical ilusion. Now, I "see" it clearly. Oh, my fault !

"the coffee pot always overloads that circuit” the coffee pot needs high power, so it make the circiut overload (in another word, the circuit capacity is not enough for the coffee pot) can u understand this way?
