Kenmore Worn or Misadjusted Grinder Burrs

Built-in grinder produces inconsistent grind size or very coarse grounds, resulting in weak coffee.

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

Dull burrs from long-term use, Burrs misaligned, Incorrect grind setting, Foreign object damage to burrs

Safety first: Unplug before working near the grinder.

Adjust grind setting: Set the grinder to a finer setting per the manual and test.
Clean grinder: Empty the hopper and vacuum or brush out old grounds. Remove the top burr (if user-removable) and clean thoroughly.
Inspect burrs: Check for chips or excessive wear on the burr edges. Replace the burr set if worn or damaged.
Recalibrate (advanced): Some models allow internal calibration of the burr spacing; follow service instructions if available.
