How do I clean the grinding mechanism? - Saeco Magic Comfort Plus Espresso Machine

Here are some specific steps you can take to try to repair the grinder issue with your Miele CVA 4085 coffee machine:

1. Clean the grinder: Remove any coffee grounds that may have accumulated in the grinder mechanism, and clean it thoroughly with a brush or cloth.
2. Check the grind burrs: Inspect the grind burrs for any signs of wear or damage, such as chips or cracks. If they are worn, they may need to be replaced.
3. Adjust the grind setting: Make sure that the grind setting is adjusted correctly for your type of coffee beans. If it is set too fine, the grinder may struggle to process the beans.
4. Check the grinder motor: Make sure that the grinder motor is functioning properly and that it is not overheating. If it is making a strange noise or if it seems to be struggling to turn, it may need to be repaired or replaced.
5. Reassemble the grinder: Make sure that the grinder mechanism is properly assembled and that all components are securely fastened.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to have a professional service the machine.
Regenerate response

When the grinder spins free and fast it only means that fresh beans are not feeding into the burrs. This happens when:
1- Grind setting is too fine and beans cannot enter the grinder mechanism.
2- Use of oily dark roast beans can clog the ground coffee chamber and preven the fresh beans entering the grinder.
3- The ground coffee chamber outlet is clogged due to oily beans or too fine coffee setting.

When you cleaned the grinder you may not have cleaned the coffee outlet to the doser on the left. You can clean the outlet to open the passage of coffee grounds to collect in the dosing device..
After cleaning the outlet, you should next make sure that coffee grounds are not packed in the doser. The doser is inside the door right above the brew group.
To access the doser:
1- Remove water tank.
2- Remove the brew group.
3- Lay the machine on its back for full view of the doser.
4- Pull the doser door open (it is like an Attic door.
5- Keep the doser door open and clean the inside with a brush. The outlet from the grinder is on the right side with a wire wiper cleaner that moves across the grinder outlet fills from the grinder. This opening.
Use a brush to clean the doser.
On the left of the doser space there is a plastic flap that is pushed to the left when coffee grounds fill the doser.
At certain distance push back (1/4") the notch on top of the flap pushes the doser micro switch pin to stop the grinder. Push the flap gently to the left to make sure that it is moving well. With each push back of the flap, one can hear the feeble click sound from the micro switch.
When the above cleaning is done, try the grinding.
If the conical burrs have not been replaced for over 2500 grinds, it is time to do so.

I am not familiar with this problem. It would seem that the brewgroup does not function correctly.
Take the brewgroup out and clean it carefully. Inside you will see several more or less vertical grooves in which the mechanism does its work. Put some vaseline into these grooves, sothat it moves more easily. Mind: ONLY vaseline is allowed! This may help. It is a good idea to do this at regular intervals anyway. Good luck!

my dgb 550 is doing the same thing. the motor shaft is stripped and i'm going to pull it apart and use adhesive to get by.

To clean the grinder try using a tablespoon of rice and run it through, make sure to stop machine after grinding.

Check if there are dust debris on the fan, it could create a grinding noise, but if the fan is clean, there could be a mechanical problem with it. Hope this helps

disks or drums ,do you have a warped disk,may need to machine them

It might be jammed, you could try to unjamm it. but make sure its unplugged..
