5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your SHARDOR Burr Coffee Grinder, refer to the following common solutions:

• Grinder does not start:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
  • Verify that the bean hopper and grinding chamber are correctly assembled and locked into place. The grinder has safety interlocks that prevent operation if parts are not properly seated.
  • Check if the digital timer is set to a non-zero value.
• Inconsistent grind:
  • Ensure the burrs are clean and free of old coffee residue. Refer to the cleaning section.
  • Adjust the grind setting to a different level to see if consistency improves.
• Grinder stops unexpectedly:
  • The grinder may have overheated. Allow it to cool down for at least 10-15 minutes before attempting to use it again.
  • Check for any obstructions in the burr area or chute.
• Coffee grounds stuck in the chute/chamber:
  • Use the chamber cleaning button to dislodge grounds.
  • Unplug the unit and use the cleaning brush to clear the chute.
