| Grinder does not start. | Not plugged in; hopper or grounds container not correctly seated; power outage. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Check that the bean hopper and grounds container are properly installed. Verify power supply. |
| Grinder stops during operation. | Overheating; motor overload; grounds chute clogged. | Unplug and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Reduce the amount of beans. Clean the grounds chute and burrs. |
