Possible Causes

Coffee oils and fines clogging chute, Foreign object lodged in chute, Condensation causing grounds to cake, Misaligned chute cover

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning the grinder chute.

Steps to try:

  • Empty hopper: Remove beans from the hopper to prevent more from feeding in.
  • Access chute: Open any access door or remove the chute cover according to the manual. Use a small brush or wooden skewer to loosen compacted grounds.
  • Dry cleaning only: Do not pour water into the grinder. Use a vacuum with a narrow nozzle to remove loosened grounds if needed.
  • Prevent recurrence: Allow the machine to cool and dry between uses, and avoid very oily dark roasts that tend to clog chutes.
