What ADD GROUND COFFEE
actually means.

Pressing Strength on the JennAir cycles through five bean strengths and then a ground setting that skips the grinder. With ground chosen, the machine waits for one scoop in the funnel on top of the unit. If the funnel is empty, it stops and asks for coffee rather than brewing plain water.

What to do when ADD GROUND COFFEE shows on the coffee machine

Kind of codeGrinder and beans

The grinder ran and too little came through, or it did not run at all: the hopper is empty, an oily or flavored bean is bridging over the burrs, a small stone or a clump has jammed them, or the burrs themselves are worn so the grind has turned coarse. Topping up with dry, plain beans and letting the machine try again clears most of it; a grinder that clicks, hums or stays silent with a full hopper needs its burrs and motor checked.

Usually leads toCoffee machine grinder repair

Clearing and renewing the burr grinder: jammed beans, a stone between the burrs, worn burrs, and the motor and gearbox that turn them.

Shows up asWhat a Coffee Machine Error Code or Warning Symbol Means

A coffee machine error code may show as a short string of letters and numbers, a flashing symbol for water, grounds or the brew unit, a short sentence on a text display, or a machine that stops with one light blinking.

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for ADD GROUND COFFEE on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

02

Add one level scoop of pre-ground coffee to the funnel, using only the scoop that came with the machine.

03

Push the unit back and start the drink again.

04

If you meant to use beans, press Strength until a bean strength shows instead of ground.

What not to do

ADD GROUND COFFEE does not mean the bean container is empty; that is FILL BEANS CONTAINER!. It is also not a grinder problem, since the ground setting bypasses the grinder altogether.

Questions
about ADD GROUND COFFEE.

Can I clear ADD GROUND COFFEE myself?
Slide the coffee system forward on its rails by the handles, the same way you reach the beans. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
How do I switch my JennAir coffee system back to beans after ADD GROUND COFFEE?
Press Strength until the display shows one of the bean strengths, from extra-mild to extra-strong, instead of ground.
Can I add two scoops of ground coffee to a JennAir for a stronger cup?
No. JennAir limits the funnel to one scoop; extra coffee can clog the brewing unit.
Why does water come out instead of coffee on my JennAir when using ground coffee?
JennAir traces that to ground coffee blocking the funnel. Clear the funnel with a wooden or plastic fork and clean inside the machine.

Back to your everyday

Still showing ADD GROUND COFFEE?

Three things make the booking useful: the message or number exactly as the display showed it, the full model number from the plate, and whether the machine still grinds and pours at all. Send those and the likely part can be looked up before the van leaves.
