How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker before inspecting the grinder area.
- Check bean hopper lid: Ensure the hopper lid is fully closed; many T-fal grinders have a safety switch that prevents operation if the lid is open.
- Verify grind setting: Confirm that the machine is set to use the grinder (not pre-ground mode, if available).
- Reset unit: Unplug for 10 minutes, then plug back in and try a grind cycle.
If the grinder never runs and you hear no motor noise, the motor or its control circuit is likely faulty and should be serviced.
