VARIO W+ OPERATIONS MANUAL
TROUBLESHOOTING ERROR CODES
The following codes may appear on the display to indicate that there is an operation error.
Err1:
Indicates that the weight on the scale is above the desired target weight. The light next to the TARE
(8)
button will flash.
• If there is already ground coffee in the grounds bin above the target weight, or if the scale is tared before
placing the grounds bin on the grinder, this error will occur.
• This error can be cleared by pressing the TARE button to tare the scale, or by emptying the grounds bin.
Err2:
Indicates that the load cell has not seen a substantial increase in weight in a few seconds during
grinding.
• This may indicate that either coffee is not being ground, or that coffee is being ground more slowly
than expected.
• Ensure that the bean hopper
(2)
is rotated into place clockwise to engage the top interlock switch and
that the bean shut-off knob
(3)
is in the open position.
• If the hopper is in place and open, the motor is engaging, but no coffee is being ground, a clog may have
formed. Please check the Troubleshooting page on Baratza.com for information on clearing clogs.
• Some different varieties and roasts of coffees may grind more slowly than others. If this seems to be the
case, this error can be cleared by pressing the START/STOP button, and then grinding can be resumed by
pressing the START/STOP button again,
Err3:
Indicates that the scale is registering a weight value that exceeds the maximum load.
• This most likely means the grounds bin is jammed on top of the scale platform
(15)
, or there is excessive
weight placed on the scale platform.
• Remove the bin from the scale and replace it, ensuring that it rests evenly on the scale platform and
does not contact other parts of the grinder. The error will clear automatically.
Err 4:
Indicates that the display is not receiving signal from the scale.
• This likely means that there is damage to the loadcell or that the loadcell wire is unplugged internally.
• Please contact Baratza Support for further troubleshooting steps and solutions.
