grinder is not grinding

Have you removed the bean hopper and then cleaned out the grinder and chute with your brushes? Sometimes you have to dig at the chute to get it fully cleaned out. If it's plugged though, it won't grind.Hope this helps :-). Cuisenart customer service certainly doesn't.

We had this problem the first time we used it. We had to take everything off and clean out the area where the coffee grinds are supposed to fall into the brew basket. There was so much compacted in there that we had to really dig and then use a can of compressed air (like you use to clean a keyboard) to get all the particles out. It has worked fine ever since the first time. Good luck.

I have never had a serious problem with the grinder such as yours, but I would assume if you contact the manufacturer they would replace your product.

Ok, assuming you are using the shredder, not the grinder. And using the coarse shred wheel, not the fine one then only thing I can think you may have done is turn the Mixer itself up too high. You should leave the mixer on #2 for attachments use. If thats exactly what you did, then maybe your shredding wheel needs to be sharpened.

I have and use about a half dozen of the grinders, but have never had a problem. Are you grinding something very tough? It might have worn down the ceramic mill. Metal grinders are best with the tough items like peppercorns. I use mine to grind coarser herbs or dried peppers.

No idea, but a darn good question. I have not purchased the grinder yet, but am interested in doing so. This may sway my purchase.Good Luck!!

Yes, and we had the same problem with our other grinder. There is a plastic top that you cannot see in the picture that covers the top. You remove the top and turn it over to dispense.

I only had this happen when I press the knife down into the grinder too hard. If you slide it through without pushing down, it will sharpen it without stopping.

ues a slightly damp paper towel and wipe down inside of grinder and around blade area. If blade area is still caked up use a toothbrush. The outside can be cleaned with damp cloth or paper towel.

Not sure what you are referring to when you say the part that holds my grinding wheel. That part is attached to the shaft of the grinder and in my experience it's the shaft of the grinder that is moving. Without turning on the grinder see if you can move the shaft laterally (back and forth) if you can than the problem is with the bearing in the motor holding the shaft and not the part 'holding' the grinding wheel. If the shaft does not move than please describe the 'part'. Good luck.

There is a round silver screw on the bottom that you turn to adjust the grind. Turn it clockwise for a finer grind, counterclockwise for a coarser grind. This works on my mill. If yours doesn't work there's something wrong with it.

Without actually seeing the grinder it's difficult to say what the problem is. Stainless doesn't rust easily and so I would be inclined to believe what you are seeing is lubricant from manufacturing turning color. Try washing it with Dawn dish soap and a white Scotchbrite scrubber. Be sure to dry the grinding stones very well. You can do that by grinding a hopper full of coffee beans.

This did not happen to me. Before using the grinder I washed the grinding stone and the container thoroughly. However, even if you do not wash them, the color should not 'run'. Maybe some grease or stain was ready on the stones

I have noted the grind settings are not perfect. I keep a small bowl to catch the extra grinds. I also set mine to give me slightly less than I need, then I manually top it off.

Ours did the same thing. My husband had to re-vamp the grinder as it was rubbing. Our first time using it was a total mess too. We thought about returning it but my husband fixed it somehow but I could not tell you for sure what he did. He is a machine designer so he could see what the problem was.....

No ground coffee in the hopper. Just put in gold filter and select "ground coffee" so it skips the grinding process.

Are you pushing the pod handle in manually or just pushing it in for a second to activate the grinder? You may have a defective unit. Also, check the filter size you have selected like the other commenter mentioned.

OK if your grinder is not grinding a consistent amount of grounds, it is likely because the burrs need to be cleaned. Unscrew the bean hopper (lefty loosey) and clean the burr heads periodically. I owned mine 3.5 years before I discovered this, and have had it 5.5 years now, and it's still grinding strong.
