Possible Causes

Grinder disabled in settings, Bean hopper empty, Grinder motor failure, Broken drive coupling between motor and burrs

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before internal inspection.

Steps:

  • Check settings: Ensure the machine is not set to pre-ground mode in the menu.
  • Fill hopper: Add beans and ensure the hopper lid is closed (some models have a lid sensor).
  • Listen for grinder: If there is no grinder sound at all, inspect the grinder motor and wiring. Replace the motor or grinder unit if defective.
  • Check coupling: If the motor runs but burrs do not turn, the drive coupling or gear may be broken and needs replacement.
