Display shows E7 and the grinder does not run or stops quickly on grind-and-brew models.

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and allow the grinder to cool for at least 20 minutes before working on it.

• Empty bean hopper: Remove the bean hopper lid and pour out any beans. Check for foreign objects or unusually oily beans clumped together.
• Clear grinder chute: If accessible, remove the grinder chute cover and use a small brush to clear compacted grounds. Do not use metal tools that could damage the burrs.
• Rotate burrs manually: On some Gourmia models, the upper burr can be removed. Take it out and gently rotate the lower burr with a wooden stick to free jams.
• Clean thoroughly: Vacuum or brush out loose grounds from the grinder housing and chute.
• Test after cool-down: Reassemble, plug in, and run a grind-only or small brew cycle. If E7 returns immediately, the grinder motor or its overload protector may be defective and require replacement.
