Possible Causes

Foreign object (stone, screw) in burrs, Excessively fine grind setting, Packed coffee oils and fines, Failed start capacitor (on some motors)

Immediate action: Turn off and unplug the machine to avoid burning out the grinder motor.

Empty hopper: Remove beans and vacuum out loose grounds.
Disassemble burrs: Remove the upper burr carrier and clear any foreign objects or compacted coffee.
Clean thoroughly: Brush burrs and chamber, then reassemble.
Test at coarser setting: Start the grinder at a coarser setting to reduce load.
Replace parts: If the motor still hums and will not turn, the motor or start capacitor (if fitted) may need replacement.
