So, my Iberital MC2 might have given up the ghost. Even with just a dozen beans in the hopper it jams, and the motor seems to lock. Have taken it apart and given it a damn good clean, all to no avail. It’s about 8-9 years old, and despite pissing coffee grinds all over the worktop because of the crappy chute, it’s been faultless.
I’m not the greatest when it comes to electrics, is it fubared? It’s not exactly the right time to start laying out dosh on a new grinder.
Could be the starting capacitor on the motor. Don’t go buying one based on my unqualified advice but if you know how to test it or can get someone to have a look then that might be it.
Ok, thanks Steve. It does start Ok, but then bogs down before jamming. Did a little bit of Googling so understand what job the starting capacitor does. But if the motor starts to slow is another job of the capacitor to get it to pick up the pace again?
