How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before any internal inspection.
Steps:
- Check settings: Ensure the machine is not set to pre-ground mode in the menu.
- Fill hopper: Add beans and ensure the hopper lid is closed (some models have a lid sensor).
- Listen for grinder: If there is no grinder sound at all, inspect the grinder motor and its wiring. Replace the motor or the entire grinder unit if defective.
- Check coupling: If the motor runs but the burrs do not turn, the drive coupling or gear may be broken and needs replacement.
