Coffee-grinders repairs – How to save money!
About coffee-grinders
Coffee-grinders are those magical devices that releases all that magnificent aroma prior to making a wonderful cup of coffee.
Essentially they are a motor driven device that spin a very sharp blade around to chop up the roasted beans to the required ground size.
The size of the grounds is entirely dependant on the blade sharpness and the time you run the machine.
How to maintain and fix your grinder
Don't overload or run your grinder excessively unless it is a heavy duty model. The motor will overheat and burn out, so use then allow a few minutes to cool down.
A good hint is to use rice to clean out the machine. The rice will help clean the mechanism out and will also help to sharpen the grinding blades.
Fixing grinders requires disassembling and checking components as well as cleaning it. If you have to disassemble coffee-grinders make sure you unplug them first. You can access the electric motor through the grinder base. The blade will be fastened to the shaft and can be removed for replacement.
The blades will require regular replacement depending on the amount of use. The motors are rated for relatively short periods of operation, and overloading can overheat and burn them out.
