Motor burned out after 2 uses

The motor is not very durable either

of beans, motor got hot while grinding, so i stopped

I used my grinder every three days for five years and last week, despite the clear marker for full level, I overfilled it and burned up the motor

Looks to me that the motor is too strong for the small axle used

Yes, the motor smelled, but I was able to get a good enough grind while it worked, and it made little noise

In just one year of use, the motor broke

The motor finally died after less than one year of use

The motor has burned out.

Later the motor burned out in the middle of a grind

However, the motor burnt out after grinding three cups of coffee beans.

We tried to use it to grind up egg shells and easily burned out the motor.

Then it struck me that the motor in the grinder was to powerful for the construction of this grinding cup

After one month, the motor burned out and it doesn't work

I did note that the motor is noticeably louder than the prior two units I have owned, but you only run it for maybe 30 seconds, so it's probably not much of an issue for most people.

The thing burned out its motor last night, so my problems are solved now.

Surprise, looks like the electric motor is burned

Motor seems very powerful and it looks good on my kitchen counter.

Motor burned out

It had a true 18 cup removable bowl assembly and a powerful motor

Used this at a Firehouse and it works well but if the coffee is filled above the top line it seams to expand preventing the blade from turning freely and will burn out the motor

The motor died way sooner than expected

However the weak motor is evidently prone to overheating and eventual failure.

yes it has a powerful motor but the cheap plastic in the grinding cup breaks and smells like burnt plastic after a couple seconds of grinding.

Then, the motor burned out Christmas Day, 2015.

Motor burned out and died after about 20 uses

I found that the motor was incredibly powerful and it had no issues grinding whatever I threw at it (Black Pepper, Corriander Seeds Etc)

This grinder works great, has the stong motor for which Cuisinart is famous and was low priced to boot.

After owning it for two months, the motor burned out

After about 3-4 more uses the motor got super

the motor still worked but the container housing had a split.

Motor burned out with minimal use

Furthermore, the grinder broke down after several uses: the motor simply seized

The bowl is sticking and not coming out well, the motor got really really loud and has started to smell.

Motor burned up both times!!

I wonder if some of the people whose motors have started smoking or burned out have been keeping the motor running for a few minutes at a time?

Also, the new motor seems to grind a less consistent grind, which was the best feature of this grinder previously

of beans, motor got hot while grinding, so i stopped

It is NOT a food processor and you can easily burn out the motor.

I finally burned out the motor and am so glad it's still available

it was a real workhorse providing consistent even grind with no problems until it finally wore out...this model makes a loud motor noise and provides an uneven grind

I couldn't get a finer ground AND the motor started to smoke

After approximately 100 uses, the motor burnt out.

Really messy, really loud, and now has a really dead motor

It has a powerful motor

I found that in general I probably ran it over a minute each time (and sometimes I could smell the motor)

All the connections look solid, no sparking, just flat out dead motor.

great size ,powerful motor, generally long lasting,..best unit for my money.

One month later, the motor died

The motor burned out within 9 months of light use.

Its like the motor burns up or something.

Then after owning it for a month or so the motor completely died

I took the coffee grounds out, pulled the cup, cleaned everything, waited to see if the motor needed to cool (2 hours), but no luck

But we are now on our 3rd grinder because the motor simply stopped working on the other two

I had this perfect little Cuisinart grinder... it worked cleanly and efficiently for ten years - then a friend overloaded it and burned out the motor

The motor just died completely

Yesterday, the motor burned up and consequently fried my satellite TV box with a surge.

Its like the motor burns up or something.

The motor smells like it is burning when used for a while (like to grind beans for espresso)
