Grinder runs but no ground coffee reaches the filter basket.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning the grinder area.

• Access chute: Remove the filter basket and any covers that expose the grinder chute.
• Clear blockage: Use a small brush or wooden stick to loosen compacted grounds in the chute. Avoid metal tools that could damage plastic parts.
• Clean diverter flap: If your model has a flap directing grounds, ensure it moves freely and is not stuck with coffee oils.
• Use drier beans: Avoid very oily beans that tend to clog chutes. Periodically run grinder cleaning tablets if recommended by Panasonic.
