Possible Causes

Beans not feeding due to oily beans, Hopper outlet blocked, Grinder jammed, Faulty grinder sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF and unplug the machine before working near the grinder.

  • Stir beans: Gently stir the beans in the hopper with a dry spoon to break any bridges that prevent beans from falling into the grinder.
  • Change beans: Avoid very oily or caramelized beans that can stick together. Use fresh, medium-roast beans.
  • Empty and clean hopper: Remove beans and vacuum out any residue or broken beans blocking the outlet.
  • Test with small quantity: Add a small amount of fresh beans and run a coffee cycle to see if grinding resumes.
  • If message persists: The grinder may be jammed or its sensor faulty. Internal cleaning or grinder replacement should be done by a service center.
