Krups F203: Uneven grounds - do these wear out

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 08:45:39 -0700

Hi all. My Krups Type F203 retains large chunks of coffee bean even after prolonged grinding. The grounds are never uniformly ground. I read that the blades are blunt. So, sharpening them is not the solution, I suppose. Do these machines wear out over time and use? If so, what is it that wears out? When, if ever, do they need to be replaced? A bit confused. Thanks!

Capresso Infinity: Why isn’t my coffee grinding?

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 10:15:07 -0700

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?

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

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 13:07:18 -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: 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?

Breville BCG800XL: The grinder goes on by itself at times,

Thu, 22 May 2025 13:29:36 -0700

yeah, the grinder goes on by itself at times and the only way to stop it is by pulling the plug off the wall. I cleaned the bean container, removed the burr, cleaned and reassembled. plugged in machine, push start button and it worked. Made a second grind, pushed start, nothing happens.

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. :)

The Brew function still works, when I press the Brew button, but when I press the Grind&Brew button, nothing happens.

There are coffee beans, water and power, as shown below.

Krups F203: The lid of my trusty Krups coffee grinder is stuck

The lid of my Krups grinder is stuck. I can't toggle the activation switch enough to release the lid. I look forward to a solution.

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: 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: 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: Krups XN100 Stops too soon

Tue, 02 Aug 2022 12:04:57 -0700

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.
