So for anyone that stumbles upon this now, I have a similar model that I've had for years that was doing the same thing and had never done a distilled white vinegar flush in it before. I tried the 1:2 vinegar to water solution that the user manual recommends and it didn't work but as a last ditch effort I I filled the reservoir up with 12 cups of 100% distilled white vinegar yesterday afternoon, let it soak in the reservoir overnight, and tried it again this morning and it worked! I don't have hard water or anything but apparently the calcification built up so much that it couldn't suck the water up into it. Hope this helps someone. This is by far my favorite coffee maker!

Just fixed mine! My coffee maker was simply not grinding anymore. Other than that everything worked. No beeping or anything unusual. I was just getting hot water. I cleaned the grinder from the sides and gently manually spun it using a small knife (unplugged).The hole I used was the one where the grinds exit not where you put the beans in. Thats it, no other tools. I tested it without water or beans and it ran like it was ready to destroy some beans with a vengeance.

It's probably too late for you but if anyone else is experiencing this problem, the small spring loaded button, above the basket, protruding downward must be completed depressed when the basket is closed. If the hinges have loosely slightly over time, the basket might sag just slightly, but enough to fool the machine into thinking the door is open. Simple solution would be to place a dishrag under the pot to push it upward, fully engaging the pin. I haven't thought of a permanent solution yet.

Same issue here. Easy fix. It's a $300 coffee maker. For me personally, I'm just going to bridge the switch connection so it's always closed by taking the unit apart and doing some soldering. But that's just me... Easy fix for a great coffee maker. I mean, you'd have to be daft to turn it on with the basket assembly out, but again, it's a compromise I'm willing to do take (how many hotel coffee machines work without the pot underneath? All of them! So it's not a big deal IMO).

Hi Becks. Exactly what you described happened to me last night and this morning I was able to fix it. The manual says to clean out the chute at least once a week with the brush. And you and I followed those instructions but still had a problem. When I looked at it this morning I thought it must be one of two things, electrical/computer chip failure or mechanical. I knew I couldn't do anything about an electrical problem so I concentrated on what could be mechanical. Here's what I did to fix my machine. I emptied the coffee bin and removed it then took a very thin flexible strip of metal (a mechanics ruler) that was about a half inch wide but only the thickness of a piece of paper and inserted it from the front of the machine into the chute, working it in and out all the way to where the burr grinder spits the coffee out into the chute. At first I felt resistance, then coffee came out, which cleared the stuck grinder. I started the machine with no coffee and no water the the grinder spun like it should. I then put beans into the hopper and water into the tank, ran a normal cycle and guess what? Great coffee. The problem with cleaning - using the method described in the manual The brush is great for cleaning the vertical part of the chute but in my desire to get everything clean I also worked it back toward the burr mill. I think that over time this actually compacted coffee into the narrow opening and the result was the the grinder couldn't spin. Other things I've noticed Usually, all of the coffee that's ground falls into the filter. But, every once in a while it doesn't. I don't know why this would be but I did see one person comment that the sliding hatch was closing before the grinder was done. I'll keep an eye on it. Final comment I'll call Cuisinart and see if they have anything to say about this.

Further exploration of this problem brought me to the conclusion that the burr mill was jamming when I replaced the bean hopper after cleaning the spout. I saw that when I removed the hopper there was a small pile of beans on top of the mill. And when I replaced the hopper these beans were compressed into the top part of the mill. My solution, and I hope it works for you, is to use the brush and my fingers to sweep the beans to the side and pick them out. I then put the hopper back (but empty) and run the grind cycle for a few seconds without beans or water, after which I put it all back together. Cleaning the spout is described in the manual and in many KZitem videos, but taking the beans from on top of the mill is not. Good Luck.

We have had the same issue and eventually stopped using the grind feature. My husband blew out the shoot with an air compressor but it just wasn’t worth the continual effort. I like this simple approach and will try it today. Thanks.

Remove bean hopper on top and open the little gray door on the top. My guess is you need to clean the coffee dust out of that, there is a video online that may help.

THIS!!! For me it was a black door and I thought it was solid plastic below that, but it was actually fine bean dust packed so tightly I had to chip away at it in chunks and vacuum it out. I bought it used and just thought it was horrible at grind control because I have I had to turn it up to 12 cup grind and add only 8.5 cups water. For me even that was too weak, but it was because the grinder couldn't feed enough beans through all that crap during the time the hopper door was open. THANK YOU! I may not need to try a Breville Grind Control after all. Now I just need to relearn how to set the grind for my liking. Directing previous similar questions below to your post now.

My guess (some years later): the little nub on the lid to the coffee basket is too warn to catch the metal chute cover and keep it open. The second great "whack" you hear as the lid spins is the cover slapping shut....I think. I'd order a new basket lid. yep

Although I thought that I'd solved the problem... I was wrong. I called Cuisinart and they sent me a new coffee maker, only charging $20 for shipping. It worked for a couple of months then the same problems started again. Enough was enough... I'd already wasted my money, I didn't want to waste any more time, so I threw it away and bought a Capresso in which I now use ground coffee. I think they were trying to accomplish too much for the price that they could charge and it just wasn't worth the effort.

CUISINART MODEL: DGB-900BCC My issue is the chute is not opening to allow for the grind to fall through to the filter basket. I clean the chute every other grind. I've contacted CUISINART but no response yet. It is still under the CUISINART warranty, so I don't to do anything invasive. Any thoughts are appreciated

I have basically the same system but the problem i'm having is when the coffee is grinding, it's being blown all over the inside (just outside of the gray chute lid. I clean the chute every few days and recently the coffee became weaker and weaker and when i looked inside, there was ground coffee below the bean tray.

There is a video uploaded on here (KZitem) named :"Cuisineart Simple Repair" where the lady figured out that if you put a penny in on the filter cover part, that it works to fix the issue..without the penny, it just does the beep, like yours..try giving that video a watch & try n see if that gets your coffee brewing..that is, if you haven't fixed it or replaced it already..Hope this helps you or someone else out.

I have a problem with my coffee maker DGB-900BCC the burr grinder isn’t working probably like some of the comments I’ve read. I’ve tried contacting Cuisinart Canada and I’m very disappointed. First I tried the chat one on one and she transferred me to a technician but first I had to give in my credit card information to continue. I then tried customer service on the phone where I could barely understand the person on the other end. She must have been working from home because there is no way someone could get away with how rude she was. She hung up on me. I tried calling back and left the phone on speaker for over an hour and no answer. This was my second machine because I loved my first one and had it for a few years. I am currently looking for a different brand. VERY DISAPPOINTED CUISINART.

The model she has in this video has a stainless insulated thermal carafe that keeps the coffee warm for up to 4 hrs. so it doesn't have a heater and will shut off as soon as it brews. The model that comes with a glass carafe has a heater to keep the coffee warm since the glass does not insulate.
