Introduction

Opening the grinder in a Siemens Surpresso Compact.

  1. Q2UPhfbroAeCRfjS

    • Unplug your coffee maker!

    • Remove the water container, the brew group and the drip tray with pomace container.

    • Using a spoon, remove as much of the coffee beans as possible from the coffee bean container.

    • Depending on the model, additional sensors with cables may be installed on the top and side panels. You have to remove these before you can completely remove the housing parts.

    • Remove the two Torx T10 screws on the top.

    • Press with a flat-head screwdriver into the openings on the side with the water tank. This releases the latches on the top.

    • Press the flat-head screwdriver into the opening on the side with the brew group. This will release the last notch on the top.

    • Lift the top off.

    • On some models, a cable leads to the sensor on the powder tray. Unplug the connector on this cable first.

    • Slide the side section of the brewing unit about 2 cm to the rear. This sometimes gets stuck and may require some force to remove.

    • Remove the two tabs from the power switch.

    • Take off the side panel with the brew group.

    • Do the same with the panel on the other side.

    • To remove the water tank hose simply pull it of the pump.

    • Remove the side panel.

    Hallo, das ja ganz tolĺ erklärt. Ich brauchte ein Bild von dem Elektronicteil wo man die Kabel sieht in welcher Buchsen Sie stecken.Danke.

    • The grinder is situated on the top right rearside of the device. The adjuster and the outer ring can just be taken off, but this is only necessary if the grinder has to be completely replaced. Be careful and do not use excessive force.

    • Beyond the white ring with the holes there is a small springloaded ball (3.2 mm diameter). It ensures that the ring clicks into place, hence the click. Be careful, it can fall out and get lost.

    • The following pictures show a grinder of a Jura and there are slight differences. But since the grinder is the same, the repair is basically the same.

    You mention a small spring-loaded ball that is “beyond the white ring with the holes”. Do you have a picture of where the spring/ball goes? I was disassembling this area and a tiny spring and ball rolled out of somewhere and I haven’t a clue where from. I could send a picture of the pieces if needed. Note that the spring and ball are like half the size of the springs/balls that go in the grinding mill.

    Yes Sir: this one and here, just beyond the red mark.

    VauWeh -

    I lost the spring and ball can the machine work without it?

    Elri Mitchell -

    @elrimitchell Yes and no. I think, the grinder will work for some (short) time. But it will not keep its settings and perhaps be damaged. Can't you buy the parts, (shop above), they cost less than 2€.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
