My De’Longhi coffee machine refuses to grind the beans, what to do?
Why does your De’Longhi coffee machine no longer grind the beans you put in it? If you’re wondering about this question, don’t worry, we’re here to guide you through the possible causes.
THE POSSIBLE CAUSES OF THIS FAULT :
WARNING
Before you do anything to your appliance, make sure you disconnect it from the power supply.
There is a risk of electric shock.
The shredder motor is defective
A damaged winding (coil of wire) in the grinder motor can stop it from spinning, which prevents the coffee from being ground. Use a multimeter in ohmmeter mode to check the continuity of the motor circuit. If no value is displayed, the engine is likely faulty and needs to be replaced.
Purchase a grinder motor for your De’Longhi coffee maker
The jaw of the grain mill is blocked
If the motor is running but the coffee is not grinding, it may indicate a grinder jaw malfunction. In this case, the coffee will not be ground properly. Be sure to turn off the machine and unplug it before inspecting this part. Sometimes, a small element can clog the jaw. Perform a visual check and remove anything that you see that could block its movement.
Electronic board issue
If the engine seems to be working properly but the coffee still doesn’t grind, the problem could be with the electronic board. If this part fails to send the necessary voltage to the motor, the motor will not be able to function properly. In this case, the control board will need to be replaced to restore the proper functioning of the coffee machine.
