Possible Causes

Control board not timing grinder correctly, Incorrect grind setting, Blocked chute causing grounds to back up and dump suddenly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before cleaning the grinder chute.

  • Adjust grind amount: If the model allows, reduce the grind quantity or strength setting.
  • Clean grinder chute: Remove any access panels and clear the chute from grinder to filter basket. Coffee oils can cause clumping.
  • Use appropriate beans: Avoid very oily beans that can stick and cause inconsistent dosing.

If the grinder continues to run too long or overdose despite settings, the control board's grinder timer circuit may be faulty.
