Braun KMM1 Coffe Grinder: Motor loopt opeens minder lekker

Wed, 31 May 2017 01:59:24 -0700

Schoongemaakt heb ik 'm net al, volgens jullie instructies. Zeer bedankt daarvoor! Maar de motor begint na al die jaren ineens te haperen. Na losmaken van de bodemplaat bleek er nogal wat roet (of in elk geval zwart geworden stof) in de behuizing te zitten. Allemaal weggeveegd en schoongezogen, helpt niet. Is dan toch de motor (spoelen) aan het verbranden? Hij heeft het al zo lang volgehouden, dat hij het verdient in leven gehouden te worden - bij wijze van spreken dan.

Krups F203: How do I remove the blades? (Can't pull them off!)

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 18:48:41 -0700

Hi,

My grinder is not similar to the ones in the instructions. It's the same model, but it looks different inside. The blades are fasten with something that looks like a plastic nut on top. I´ve tried pulling on the blades, but it doesen´t seem to work. I´ve also tried to undo the nut, my tools are causing damage to the nut.

Do anyone know if this is a nut, or pulling harder is the solution? And if so, do anyone know if it is a right or left threaded nut (normal or lynx)?

My problem with the grinder is that the blades wont turn. The motor is working, but of some reason, either the rotor in the motor or the blade assy is stuck.

Thanks!

Krups F203: How do you clean it?

The residue of the coffee beans is still in the grinder and hurting its effectiveness.

Krups F203: motor works but blades only spin if grinder is unloaded

Fri, 23 May 2025 07:53:14 -0700

The machine seems as if it's working with no load or with very small amount, but as soon as I put in a normal amount of material to be ground then the blades do not turn. It's like whatever connects the blades to the spinning shaft has failed or does not engage properly. Also how do I get the blades off?

Capresso Infinity: Why isn’t my coffee grinding?

I plugged the machine in, and put my coffee beans in the top container, but for some reason it’s not working. My dial is turning and I have the black dot on the top container lined up with the coarseness I want. What else should I do?

Capresso Infinity: Repairing Burnt out Motor (Kitchen Appliance): Burr Coffee Grinder

Thu, 28 Dec 2023 13:06:01 -0700

Hello,

I think I've "burnt out the motor," or whatever the technical term is, on my burr coffee grinder, by plugging it in to a 240v plug.

Is the solution replacing the motor, the wiring, or what? I assume many appliances operate the same when having and issue like this, so any advice from similar kitchen appliances are welcome!

Thank you for your time!

I finally opened up the coffee grinder to examine the issue (btw, my grinder is an OXO one that doesn't have a guide yet on fixit.)

I think I found the problem(see images where components have burn damage)..but I have no idea what I'm looking at.

I'm quite keen to fix it. Especially since I emailed OXO for help and they said "just buy a new one."

Capresso Infinity: replacement mechanical timer switch for capresso infinity 565

There is a guide for getting and replacing this switch, but where can I find a replacement or even the part number? I’m sure Jura or Capresso is buying a commodity mechanical timer switch, but I can’t find it.

BCG600SIL: turning on power at the socket the small fuse on the circuit board po

Fri, 08 Mar 2024 04:20:06 -0700

I came across this post while researching the fix for my machine. When turning on power at the socket the small fuse on the circuit board pops. I’m yet to test and possibly replace the veristor (I think that’s what the blue thing is called!) if anyone could help I’d be grateful.

Here’s some images of the board there are no discernible burn out issues as far as my untrained eye can see even the popped fuse looks normal 🤷🏻

Capresso Infinity: I can't adjust coarseness after reassembling the bottom burr

Wed, 05 Oct 2022 16:06:26 -0700

I removed the bottom burr of my capresso infinity for cleaning, and ever since reassembly it has been grinding coffee on only the finest setting, even when the dot is twisted to the coaresest setting. I suspect that whatever mechanism that adjusts the distance between the burrs is not working. What could I have reassembled incorrectly? I suspect it might be the ball bearings and springs - how are they meant to sit?

Krups F203: My grinder is stuck, will not spin

My grinder makes a muffled sound as if stuck and the blades do not spin. This happens often. What should I do?

Krups F203: Information: Ancient Model Base

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 10:17:54 -0700

This is just an informational comment. My GF has been using this grinder daily since about 1980, and it has never been maintained. I suspect that the "0602" is probably the serial number, so it would be almost the oldest that you'll find.

I saw comments saying to remove 4 screws or clips, or remove the paper label to expose the slot in the bottom of the shaft. They don't all necessarily have those.

It does have what looks like two #2 Phillips screws retaining the base. They have about 40 years of rust on them, but it looks like that's all that retains the base.

So depending on the vintage of your grinder, the parts may not be exactly the same. Luckily, these devices are simple, with little more than the motor, blade, switch, and body. You may just need to do a little more work to figure out how yours comes apart.

I only came looking to see what I'm getting myself into before I break something. I kind of assumed that the blade was pressed on, rather than screwed on. I'm glad I looked, before I broke it, trying to pull the blade. :)

Krups F203: Krups XN100 Stops too soon

I DeScaled our Krups XN100. During the descaling, However, it didn't stop pouring water, like in the video, so I had to unplug it.

Now when I try to make coffee, it stops pouring water too soon. I tried resetting it. I tried to unplug it, hold the Lungo button, and plug it back in. The Corto light blinks a few times. But when I try to make an espresso cup of coffee, and it still stops too soon.
