Possible Causes

Grounds compacted in chute, Oily beans causing clumping, Misaligned chute cover, Broken chute flap

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker before accessing the grinder area.

  • Open chute access: Remove any access panel or chute cover per the manual.
  • Clear blockage: Use a small brush or wooden stick to loosen and remove compacted grounds from the chute.
  • Use drier beans: Avoid very oily beans that tend to clump and block the chute.
  • Inspect chute flap: Ensure any flap or door in the chute moves freely. Replace if broken or stuck.
