I'm on my second grinder of this model.......... in the past 2 months. The first stopped working so I just took it back and replaced it. The second time it quit working I removed the cup with the grinded coffee and noticed smoke wafting up from the unit. Both times it quick working I was grinding 12 cups of beans (12 cups of brewed coffee, not 12 cups of actual beans). The unit shouldn't have a setting to grind that much coffee if it burns the motor out, which is what happened.
I had the same thing happen to mine, smoked after grinding then nothing. I opened it up and checked for any burnt components. There is a component attatched to the motor where wiring connects to the windings. Its either a diode or capacitor that is rated for 10 amps. If you bypass this component, the motor will run again.
