Possible Causes

Blocked grinder burrs due to oily beans, Worn or jammed grinder motor, Faulty grinder position sensor or encoder, Broken grinder drive gear

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the coffee maker before accessing the grinder.

  • Empty beans: Remove the bean hopper and empty all beans. Check for foreign objects (stones, plastic) that may have jammed the burrs.
  • Adjust grind setting: Set the grinder to a coarser setting and try a cycle again. Very fine settings can overload the grinder.
  • Clean grinder: If accessible, remove the upper burr and brush out old coffee residues and oils. Do not use water inside the grinder.
  • Check grinder movement: Rotate the burr carrier gently by hand (if design allows). If it is seized, the grinder assembly may need replacement.
  • Inspect wiring: Verify the grinder motor connector is firmly seated on the PCB and that no wires are pinched or broken.
