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.
