• Use this troubleshooting guide along with the appropriate ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC.

Grinder Does Not Grind Coffee – Motor Does Not Run

1. Check to make sure that the power cord is connected and that the circuit breaker connected to the electrical outlet is not off or tripped.
2. Check the circuit breaker on the back of the unit. Push in on the button to reset. If the button pops back out when you try to start the grinder, check for electrical shorts inside the unit, for example, a shorted motor.
3. Check for power into the timer module. If it is not getting power, trace backwards from the timer module to the power cord using the ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC to find the wire or component that is preventing the timer from getting power.
4. If the timer is getting power, press the start switch and check for power across the LOAD and L2 terminals. If there is power out of the timer, go to step 6.
5. If there is power into the timer. but no power out when the start switch is pressed, check the start switch and switch wiring harness. If the switch and wiring harness are OK, replace the timer.
6. If there is power across the timer LOAD and 12 terminals when the start switch is press, check for power at the input terminals of the motor. If there is power at the input terminals of the motor, but it does not run, either the motor capacitor or the motor itself is defective.

Grinder Does Not Grind Coffee – Motor Runs

8. Re-insert the feed worm and grinding burr on the motor shaft.
9. Push the shear drive through the burr/feed worm assembly and align the large slot with the tongue on the motor shaft.
10. Rotate the burr/feed worm assembly to align the slot with the narrow slot on the shear drive.
