Why Breville Coffee Grinder does not start?

  If your Breville Coffee Grinder doesn't start, first ensure it's properly plugged into the power outlet. If it is plugged in, the grinder may have overheated, activating the Thermal Safety Shut Off. Unplug it and let it cool down for 20 minutes before trying again. Also, check that the Bean Hopper is correctly attached; the LCD screen will display ‘LOCK BEAN HOPPER’ if it isn't. Lock the Bean Hopper into the correct position.

  If your Breville Coffee Grinder motor starts but no ground coffee is coming out, ensure you've pressed the START | CANCEL button or PORTAFILTER ACTIVATION SWITCH to begin grinding. Also, check if the Bean Hopper is filled with fresh coffee beans. If both are fine, the grinder or Bean Hopper might be blocked. Remove the Bean Hopper and inspect it, along with the Upper and Lower Burr and Grind Outlet, for any blockages. Then replace the parts and try again.

  If your Breville Coffee Grinder motor starts but makes a loud racket noise, it could be due to a foreign item blocking the grinder or chute, or moisture clogging the grinder. Here's what to do: * Remove the Bean Hopper and inspect it, along with the Upper and Lower Burrs, for any foreign objects. Remove any found. * Clean the burr heads and Grind Outlet. * If moisture is the issue, let the burrs dry thoroughly before re-assembling. You can use a hair dryer to blow air into the grinder inlet (Lower Burr) to dry it.

  If you're unable to lock the Bean Hopper into position on your Breville Coffee Grinder, coffee beans may be obstructing the Bean Hopper locking device. Remove the Bean Hopper, clear any coffee beans from the top of the burrs, and then try to re-lock the Bean Hopper into position.
