What Does This Error Mean?

A Breville grinder not working is usually caused by a bean jam — a hard bean or small stone lodged between the burrs. Use the grinder clearing tool or a wooden skewer to clear the jam before calling for service.

Common Causes

  • Hard bean or foreign object jammed between the burrs
  • Oily or dark-roast beans clogging the grind chute
  • Grind size set too fine, stalling the burrs

  • Bean hopper empty or beans not feeding into the burrs
