It does nothing. I've cleaned out the beans, used the brush to be thorough, cleaned the contact points, brushed the ground beans away from where it empties to the holder. Now, how to I do a hard reset??

This can be caused by several things;
If it used to be good but is now faulty it is most likely that it just needs cleaning. If you are using beans that are 'oily' they can clog the grinder, you should anyway disassemble it and clean every year. Do not use soap and water, just brush it with a stiff brush (e.g. the stiffest type of toothbrush) and a vacuum cleaner.
There is also a possibility that something has got into the grinder along with the coffee beans that has damaged the grinding wheels; in that case you need to replace the wheels.

Clean your coffee mill before using it for the first time. Then, to ensure optimal mill function and durability, clean it regularly following these simple steps.

1. Unplug your coffee mill.
2. DO NOT PLACE THIS COFFEE MILL IN WATER. DO NOT IMMERSE THE BLADES OR MOTOR BASE IN WATER.
3. Remove the coffee mill cover and brush. Wash both in warm sudsy water. Rinse and dry each thoroughly. The cover and brush are NOT dishwasher safe.
4. Use the Built-In Cleaning Brush to sweep out excess grounds. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to remove any remaining grounds.
5. Be sure to clean your coffee mill completely after each use.
6. Do not try to oil or sharpen the blades. The blades are permanently lubricated and never need sharpening.

Clean your burr mill before using it for the first time. Then, to ensure optimal mill function and durability, clean it regularly following these simple steps.

1. Always unplug your burr mill after use and before cleaning.
2. Open the hopper lid. Empty any whole beans from the hopper. Remove the top burr mill by rotating it clockwise. For better results hold the grind setting button while rotating the burr mill clockwise. This will allow you to clean the grinding wheel and the grinding compartment.
3. Clean the interior recesses with a soft brush. Note: Never use water or liquid for cleaning the lower grinding section of this appliance. BRUSH NOT INCLUDED.
4. Wipe the whole bean hopper, its lid and the mill exterior with a damp cloth.
5. The ground coffee chamber and lid can be washed in mild detergent and water. They both are top rack dishwasher safe. Do not immerse the mill or the whole bean hopper in water or any other liquid or place in dishwasher. Use only non-abrasive cleaners to remove stains.
6. After completely drying the whole bean hopper and top burr mill, replace the burr mill in position by aligning snaps with receptacle and rotating counterclockwise to lock it in position. For better results, hold the grind setting button while rotating the burr mill counterclockwise. Once the burr mill is in position, pull gently to check it is properly locked in position. If the burr mill comes out, repeat this step again.
7. Replace the ground coffee chamber and lid, making sure both snap securely into place.
8. Fill the hopper with whole beans.

You should clean it with a brush After every use.

Hi
Rotate the bean hopper counter clockwise until it stops. Lift the bean hopper out. Remove the outer burr with the wing-lets. Can go back in either way. Clean with air or vacuum out grounds. Use small brush to help clean grounds. Reinstall burr. Line up notches of the bean hopper with shell ( large tab in large slot, and small tab in small slot). Rotate bean hopper clockwise a small amount and test.

This happens due to condensation caused by steam developed at the end of the grinding cycle. Make sure that the grinding chamber is completely cleaned and dried before using the grinder.

1. Turn the whole bean chamber to the right until it can be lifted off the base. This will allow you to clean the grinding wheel. NOTE: Never use water or liquid for cleaning the lower grinding section of this appliance.
2. Clean interior recesses with a soft brush (not provided).
3. Wash the whole bean chamber and lid and the ground coffee chamber and lid in mild detergent and water. These items are only dishwasher safe on the top rack of your dishwasher. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse mill in water or any other liquid or place in dishwasher. Use only non-abrasive cleaners to remove stains.
4. After completely drying, replace whole bean chamber. Important: when replacing whole bean chamber, screw on completely before setting grinding rate. Turn chamber clockwise (as viewed from top), until it will not turn. Fill with whole coffee beans for grinding and replace lid.
5. Replace ground coffee chamber and lid, making sure it snaps securely into place.

Before beginning to clean the grinder please be sure to turn the machine off and unplug it from the wall
socket. Grinder Tip: Using an oily bean will cause the coffee to build up quickly and clog the grinder.
Saeco recommends using a medium to dark colored bean that is not oily.
After cleaning the grinder and then brewing a cup of coffee it may take 2-3 grinding cycles for the machine
to dispense coffee.
Step 1:
Remove the black rubber gasket, then vacuum additional beans or grinds from the grinder area (Fig. 1).
Rotate the outer ring of the grinder counter-clockwise until the red line is at the 12 o'clock position (as
viewed from the front of the machine) or until the red line on the outer ring is 180º from the opposite red
line on inner burr ring (Fig. 2).
Lift the inner burr ring out of the assembly (Fig. 3).
Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
Step 2:
Vacuum out any residual grinds from inside the grinder and clean the grinder burrs using the cleaning
brush (Fig. 5). Clean out the grinder coffee chute using the end of the cleaning brush (Fig. 5).
Remove the drip tray, open the service door, remove the dregdrawer and brew group. Gently pull
down the coffee doser door and brush out any ground coffee that may be inside the chute (Fig. 6).
Reassembly:
Be sure that the red line on the outer ring is still in the 12 o'clock position. Place the inner burr ring back
into the grinder making sure the red line on the inner burr is at the 6 o'clock position or 180º opposite from
the red line on the outer ring (Fig. 2). Once the inner burr ring is in place, rotate the outer ring clockwise
until it will not turn any further. At this time the two red lines should be aligned. The grinder is now at the
"0" position. Replace black round rubber gasket (Fig. 7).
Take the bean hopper container and rotate the grinder adjustment wheel to zero (0) (Fig. 8) and the doser
adjustment knob to the minus symbol (-) (Fig. 9). Slide the doser adjustment gear toward the left of the
machine until it stops. (Note: The Vienna Black does not have a doser adjustment knob. Only the Vienna
Digital & Vienna Deluxe Rapid Steam have a doser adjustment wheel.)
Reinstall the bean hopper container being sure to use the LONG screw in the back, then replace the finger
guard using the short screw in the front of the container. Once the bean hopper container has been
reinstalled, rotate each knob through the full range of motion. The grinder knob should rotate from (0) to
(18) and back, and the doser knob from the minus symbol (-) to plus symbol (+) and back.
Place the grinder adjustment knob at the eight (8) position and place the doser knob at the halfway
point between the plus symbol (+) and the minus symbol (-) symbol, or to your preferred settings.

Are you sure that the battery is still viable? What you describe can also be caused by a battery's  'cold starting' amps falling.
Also, before you replace the starter, go over each battery contact; the two posts which may not be contacting well, the point at which the negative ground is attached to the body or engine, and the starter terminal. Any auto parts store will have a battery terminal cleaning brush; these have a male part for the inside of the clamps and a female brush for the battery posts.
If the solenoid (that's what is doing the clicking) is separate from the starter, use a wire brush to clean any terminals in the path from + terminal of the battery to the starter.
Starters draw ~ 120 to 200 amps when starting and any corrosion or loose terminals can cause the effect you have.
Removing the starter is not difficult; they are held only by 2 or 3 bolts to the bell housing of the transmission. BUT; before you deal with anything electrical on a car, disconnect the negative battery terminal first - always.  If a tool slips while removing the negative/ground post clamp, hitting some other part grounded to the chassis - no fire. If you remove the + terminal first, slipping can blow the tool away and severely damage the post.
Starters do fail but it is often the result of an oil leak that has worked its way into the starter and contaminated the commutator so the brushes no longer fully contact.

Make sure the slot between the grind basket and filter basket is clean and free of grounds - then inspect the area near the grinder motor - use the brush that came supplied with the Cuisinart to clean that area out. Once thoroughly cleaned, try one more time to Grind. Let me know if it works.

Hi there!

This is most likely due to a build up of ground coffee at the edges, and the whole lot has become a solid lump.

Disconnect the machine and clean with a small stiff paintbrush.

This is caused by damp beans, or using dark roast beans, or keeping beans refrigerated. Often it is the coffee oil that causes it.

If there are beans in there and the unit is not rotating, please contact here again.

Thanks......Oh, and rate as Fixya! if it helps you.
