7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your grinder, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Inconsistent grind. | Burrs are dirty or clogged; incorrect grind setting for bean type. | Clean the burrs thoroughly using the brush and air blower. Adjust the grind setting to a finer or coarser option as needed. |
