While grinding some coffee suddenly my grinder statred to make a noise like it was jammed. I immeadiatly syopped the machine, shook it ant tried again for just a few seconds, same problem. I took the machine apart to clean it out and found a small coffee bean sized pebble. Now after cleaning and reassembly the bottom plate is slipping. I have not taken the grinder appart to see if something is stripped under the brass plate that the holds the burr. My question is can this be fixed? Could about ten seconds of trying to grind a pebble ruin my grinder.
I am pretty handy and would like to do this myself.
Sorry: I This is a Gaggia MDF. The grinder is 4 years old and is used about four days a week. I am about to try to get the nut that holds the bottom brass plate/burr assembly off. I think the problem lies underneath. I wish there was a schematic I could see to get a picture of how it goes together before I take it apart.Sorry: I This is a Gaggia MDF.

rotate the knob to try to get out the upper holder of burr. if it does not rotate than disasemble the knob and the gears(plastic big one is attached to upper holder of grinder, the other is together with knob.
tru to rotate it manualy, with help of extra srews puted in gear holder holes.
when you get it out, carefuly clean it, look for metal parts and stones(wich sometime comes with coffee)
turn on the grinder and attach gently one marker to lower burr during spining. after you stop grinder, look if it is perfect circle marked in burr. if it is not than marked side is higher. you should consider getting it ok by putting adhesive paper under lower burr and check it again.

Here are some specific steps you can take to try to repair the grinder issue with your Miele CVA 4085 coffee machine:
Clean the grinder: Remove any coffee grounds that may have accumulated in the grinder mechanism, and clean it thoroughly with a brush or cloth.
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.
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.
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.
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.

There is probably a stone jamming the grinding teeth. You need to take the top off the grinder and pick/vacuum everything out of in the grinding department. The top of the grinder has the stationary grinding teeth attached to it.
First turn grinder to coarse setting and try grinding some white rice through it, that will clean out the coffee oils, if that does not work then the you will have to open the grinder and clean out the burr chamber and the spout for the grounds.
Since your grinder makes noise and the problem occured suddenly, I would rule out a grinder problem. I am guessing that your grinder runs 10-20 seconds before it stops. If that is the case you need to look for a obstruction in the grinder or a failed microswitch on the doser. Either of these could cause the problem.
We just went through the same situation. We opened the top the Magnifica to get to the grinder and removed the four screws to seperate the grinding pieces. Inside we discovered two black fosilized beans/stones! We removed those, cleaned out all the bean dust and it is working like new! Took about an hour.
