Coffee grounds and mold in CM6350?

Any CM6 owners have this problem?

Do you see coffee grounds and mold inside your unit?

Next to the brew unit drive gear, there's a panel with 6 torx screws. Behind that panel is a brew unit pipe connection, a clear syringe thing, and a spring. Mine had coffee residue at the brew unit pipe connection up top, and coffee grounds all over the two lower areas. In some places there was a thin film of white fuzzy mold.

Here's a photo of what I'm talking about: user posted image

I'm wondering if something is wrong with mine. (I empty out the waste tray daily.)

I'm not also sure if there's a part missing. Near the center of that photo are two concentric circles on the plastic surface. It looks like something might have snapped off, but that's how it arrived bought new.

It's hard to believe all CM6350 owners are just living with chunks of coffee and mold in their machine. Maybe all CM6 models have the same problem if they share the same design.

If someone could post a photo of theirs, that would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure how this area is supposed to be cleaned... maybe a full teardown is required?

There is so little information out there! Thank you for any help.
