Braun Grinder Burr / Motor Wear

Grinder is excessively loud, grinding unevenly, or producing metallic scraping sounds.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Foreign object in grinder, Worn burrs, Loose grinder mounting screws, Failing grinder motor bearings

Safety: Unplug the unit and keep fingers away from burrs.

Empty hopper: Remove all beans and inspect for stones or hard objects.
Clean burrs: Use a brush to remove built‑up coffee from the burrs and surrounding area.
Test without beans: Briefly run the grinder empty (if allowed by the manual) to listen for abnormal mechanical noise.

Persistent metallic or grinding noises indicate worn burrs or motor bearings. The grinder assembly should be replaced.
