Einleitung

Is your Capresso Infinity not grinding your coffee even though it’s plugged in? Is the Grinder making odd noises, or seems like its not turning as fast as it should? If so here is the guide to fix the problem by replacing the motor. All you need is a Torx Security T10 Bit, Spudger, Opening Tool, and Soldering Iron.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Twist the top plastic container to the left counterclockwise.
Pull upwards to remove.

Schritt 2

Twist the top burr to the left counter clockwise.
Pull upwards to remove.

Schritt 3

Flip entire device upside down.
Remove two rubber coverings on the back of the device.

Schritt 4

Remove four 11.59mm T10 screws.
The screws will have small circular washers under them. Put them aside for reassembly.

T8 Torx screws. The two screws towards the front of the machine are below those circled in red in the picture.

My housing is plastic, and was just held on by clips holding the outer part to the base, I gently pried the housing away and lifted the housing off. It’s a Capresso model 560

Mine is as well. I tried digging the “rubber washers” out but it was only scratching plastic.

There are 5 areas you can slide a slim flathead into and gently wiggle to get the casing to slide out from the base. Be firm yet gentle.

Schritt 5

Lift the metal outside casing off the black base.
Flip the outside casing forward so you have access to the inside of it.

What about the hard black plastic gasket that fits under the inside lip of the outer metal case?

What about the hard black plastic gasket that fits under the inside lip of the outer metal case?

It sits between the outer metal case & the black plastic flat ring. Please describe how to reassemble that part.

Schritt 6

Remove one 11.59mm T10 screw.
Let the green wire fall, or place somewhere so it doesn't get in the way.
There will be a small metal retainer and washer, put them aside for reassembly.

T8 Torx screw.

My unit has a plastic case and a two-prong plug, so there is no ground wire.

Schritt 7

Remove two 11.59mm T10 screws.

Schritt 8

Remove the time/on switch by pulling upwards.

Schritt 9

Grab the edge of the plastic black ring that sits on top of the device and gently pull up to release.

An important step BEFORE you remove the ring is to mark on the white shoot with a sharpie where the groove in the ring ends. Then when you reassemble you can line it up correctly. Otherwise the bin won't go back on,

Schritt 10

Remove the black rubber knob atop the bottom burr by gently pulling up.

Schritt 11

Partially remove one 47.20mm T20 screw.
The screw does not need to come out completely, it just needs to be loose enough pull the burr out of the device.

Schritt 12

Remove the bottom burr piece by pulling upwards.
There will be 3 springs and 3 metal balls under the springs, located underneath the burr. Put them aside for reassembly.

Schritt 13

Remove the loosened screw by pulling it upwards.

Schritt 14

Grip the plastic piece at the top of the conical burr and pull upwards to remove.
Grip the metal burr, and pull upwards to slide it off the plastic base.

Schritt 15

This is the correct position of bearings and springs when the screw and bottom burr are removed.

I added this image because nowhere in the guide does it show the arrangement of bearings and springs in relation to each other and the bottom burr.

I have reassembled shown as above, but now the grinder only puts out a fine ground coffee at any setting.

Whats up?

Scott W. Nelson - 03/01/21

Fixed this by setting grinder to extra fine with beans in, grinding, then slowly working the grinder back to coarse.

Josh Kociemba - 18/01/21

Essentially, the grid is more fine when the screw is not in all the way. The grid is more coarse when it is fully tightened. If you have super fine grind all of the sudden, you may think you have the screw in all they way but in fact, the plastic parts are most likely not aligned. The plastic pieces on the between the bottom bur grinder hae slots and need to be aligned properly. (the bottom metal bur grinder is the smaller one - in the left hand of the person in picture 14) ) IF the plastics parts are not mated correctly, the grind will be very fine, and slow. When I aligned the slots properly, I was good to go. In step 15, you can see the slots on the bottom plastic piece. The top plastic piece is where the screw goes. It’s tough to align, but you’ll know you got it when you grind.

Schritt 16

Remove the three 19.61 mm T10 screws surrounding the white plastic burr housing.

What kind of motor is it and Where can you get a replacement motor?

Joseph Hirn -

Schritt 17

Pry up the gold colored screw castings for each hole using a spudger.
Remove all three gold castings and set them aside for reassembly.

Schritt 18

Remove the two 13.60 mm T10 screws holding the bean chute to the base.

Schritt 19

Pull the white plastic burr housing and motor up and out of the base.
Place the motor and white plastic burr housing aside for future soldering.

Schritt 20

Be careful when you are using the metal spudger in this step because it can cause harm if used incorrectly.
Remove rubber wraps covering both wires solder points using a metal spudger.

Schritt 21

This step requires soldering. Be careful and make sure you understand this tool and its dangers before using it.
Remove the two wires from the motor by unsoldering them.
Place the base aside to continue working on the motor.

Schritt 22

Locate the three knobs preventing the white plastic burr housing from being removed from the motor. They are all along the seam.
Pry the seam between the two pieces down enough to allow each knob to slide counterclockwise with an opening tool.
Twist the white plastic burr housing as far counterclockwise as you can.

Schritt 23

Lift up the white plastic burr housing and separate it from the motor.
The black plastic piece is attached to the motor. You need to remove the motor with it for replacement.

Do you know where to buy the replacement motor?

In step 20, I suggest marking which motor terminals the red and black wires connect to so they may be reattached correctly. It is a DC motor so polarity is important. The motor will spin backward if wired incorrectly.

I have a Capresso 565 with a burnt out motor. If I buy a 560, can I just swap out the stainless steel for the plastic? They look like the same unit with that one exception.

Daniel Hoehnle - 03/08/19

Where did you find the replacement motor?

Mike - 30/12/19

I have a Nivona CafeGrano 135, which is technical identical. I was able to remove the entire Motor unit.

In Germany, it can be bought, e.g. here: https://komtra.de/jura-ersatzteile/jura-...

(unfortunately for the same price like a new grinder.)

Is it possible to remove the motor from the black plastic? It should be possible to just replace the motor….

ischorsch - 14/11/20

I have the plastic-housing version of this unit. I removed the (four) rubber feet, but underneath there was nothing but blank plastic, even though the structure looked exactly like there should be screws there.

The solution: the plastic housing is held in place by four latches around the base, each visible in a slot between the housing and the base. Pry them apart, and you can then pop the plastic housing off. (You may have to work your way around several times before the first latch doesn’t re-latch while you’re working on the other ones.)

BTW, just popping the housing off of my unit fixed it, and it stayed fixed (at least for the moment) when I replaced the housing (karma?). My motor has been making noises for a while, but suspect that it was one of the two microswitches failing rather than the motor itself.

griscom - 06/10/21

I've changed my mind on this. To get the rest of the grounds into the grounds hopper, I always pick the unit up by the bean reservoir. It turns out that when I do this, the reservoir tends to turn. Enough of this, and the "reservoir installed" safety switch turns off and the unit stops working. I'm guessing that if I'd reset the reservoir position it would have resumed working without all that disassembly. (Such is life; it was fun to see the insides of the unit.)

Lately my grinder has been louder than usual. Is there a way to lubricate it so it spins smoothly?

Where can I buy the capresso infinity plus motor?
