Cord stuck coffee grinder - Hamilton Beach Coffee Makers & Espresso Machines

Try using a bottle brush and cleaning out the residue from coffee grinding. Coffee grinds build up because of the oils in the beans. I clean mine twice a week and it works great.

If the problem is only just stuck then you should try to rutn the gringing adjustment to more gross grinding and first try to remove all remain coffee beans from grinder, with the use of avacuum cleaner try to clean everything from the grinder beans and grined coffee. Then try to make a coffee if it continue to be stuck turn for more gross coffee grinding clean with vacuum and try again is the grinder is only stuck then this will work if after all these the grinder does not turn then you will need to remove it and also you might need to replace it.

(I had the same problem) If you have the model I have, take a small screwdriver and remove screw located in center of bottom plate....remove plate and unwrap cord...reattach bottom and replace screw. I just leave the cord fully extended.

Unfortunately this probably means that the AC Motor within the device has shorted out. These motors will still allow the blade/shaft to move even if a fault has occurred. It is unlikely, but possible that this particular model is built in such a way that a replaceable fuse is accessible to the operator. More then likely however the motor will have 'burnt' out and will no longer function no matter what you try.
Try to check the power cord for nicks and check that the outlet functions correctly. Lastly check that the power switch is properly operational. If all of this seems in working order then you are stuck with a non-functional device.

How to Clean SmartGrind Blade Coffee Grinder - White

1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning. Wash the lid in warm, soapy water - not in a dishwasher.

Wipe the grinding bowl, base, and other parts with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Take special care

around the blades; they are sharp! Dry parts thoroughly. Do not immerse grinding bowl, base or plug

in liquid or under running water.

2. Never use harsh detergents or abrasive cleansers or scouring pads to clean any

part.

3. To remove residue or aromas left behind by nuts, grind one tablespoon of baking

soda in the bowl then wipe thoroughly.
4. Use the built-in cord wrap on the underside of the unit to store the cord

The little plastic piece is part of the spring tension for one motor brush. It has been re-installed. I no longer need any assistance.

May, The only Zassenhaus products I know of are burr grinders, not coffee makers. About any kind of coffee maker...are you speaking about the appliance attachment cord? If you have the brand, or can carry the unit in, the cord can be matched at the local hardware store. If you don't have such access, get the name/model number and call www.smallappliance.com.

Hope this helps.

Cuisinart CS says to pour hot water around the outside of the grinder, that didn't help me at all. I finally used 1 foot of cord (heavy string) and made a loop, putting one end around the base of the grinder blade and then hooked the claw of a hammer in the other. Then yank up on the hammer.
