Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Wancle Coffee Grinder, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Grinder does not start. | Not plugged in; power outage; bean hopper or ground coffee container not properly secured. | Ensure the grinder is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check your home's circuit breaker. Verify that the bean hopper and ground coffee container are correctly assembled and locked into place. |
| Inconsistent grind. | Burrs are dirty or clogged; incorrect grind setting for bean type. | Clean the burr grinding mechanism thoroughly using the provided brush. Adjust the grind setting to a finer or coarser level as needed for your coffee beans and brewing method. |
