b. Turn grinder onto side. Remove rubber stoppers on the back feet. Remove M3x18 Self-Tapping Screws from these holes.

c. Remove back from grinder. Find tab on top back, use flathead screwdriver to pop out, then slide back out.

Optional, re-insert all three screws into holes so they don’t get lost.

Slot to insert flat head to get back off

My grinder was really dirty, about a decades worth of coffee inside.

d. Remove two M3x12 Machine Screws on both sides of Motor.

e. Remove two M3x4 Countersunk Machine Screw on both sides of grind dispenser chute.

Note I'm missing a screw, had no idea it was missing.

f. Gently lift Grind Assembly off of Main Structure, taking care that the wires in the back do not get pulled forcefully.

g. Disconnect 4 wires from chipboard, including the green wire that is screwed down. The green wire will come completely out. Optionally replace screw so it doesn’t get lost. There will still be one wire connecting the main structure to the grind assembly, so still take care—

After removing wires

Bottom screw holding 2 ground wires.

One ground goes to motor, other one goes to upper metal frame.

h. Remove center M3x5 Countersunk Self-Tapping Screw.

Remove grind adjustment tabs from front of grinder.

Slightly swing out LED screen and disconnect. If LED screen does not swing out, use an eyeglass (Phillips) screwdriver to loosen the two screws on either side of the bracket on the bottom backside of the screen.

i. Disconnect bottom wire that runs to LED. Baratza may have assembled your grinder so the connector is “trapped” on one side of a metal support. If this is the case, remove the first screw from step 3k, near the micro adjustment lever.

Pull out the white rubber stopper and snake the wire through the gap. Replace rubber stopper and screw. Replace the main LED screw.

j. Put main structure off to the side.

k.Loosen, but do not yet remove, four screws. Two are at the front corners near the grind adjustment levers. The other two are centered on both sides of the motor. (did not do this because changing motor and grind chamber)

In my grinder, nuts by motor are 4mm allen head type, not phillips.

After removing motor.

It would have been easier if I had taken it apart first.

Removed 4 screws next, where holes are, to remove next piece

After taking everything apart.

The plastic grind chamber in my hand will get replaced.

To connect my new motor, had to cut wires off of old motor and splice them in so I could connect motor to the board.

Good thing I have a soldering iron to connect to the lugs on the motor.
