Hi everyone, I thought I'd start a thread where we could all share our issues and repair solutions as they arise. So here is mine! Last week my grinder stopped spinning, the fixtures on the base stone has become unglued, I know exactly why, my impatience when it comes to loading the ingredients. Too many nibs at once and the rollers jam. It seems the washer (or whatever you might want to call it) also broke, which is probably going to be the trickier part to replace (I'm sure I will find something online though), but obviously this problem is easily fixed with a strong food grade glue or perhaps resin?.

Finally got around to repairing this The O ring size required: 40mm x 3mm And just since I could find no labelled food grade glue for sale, I used basic epoxy resin on the granite base to secure the parts after scraping off the old resin. Some leaked out around the edges and I can't find any reliable information about if it's food safe or not, so I may have to add a little coat of food grade sealant around the top if required.

Today the motor seized up on my machine, lots of heat, a bit of melting/smoke, but no fire fortunately (because I was out on the school run!). Anyway I think it's beyond repair, unless I can find a replacement part for the motor, any ideas? I'm going to just order a new 2 litre tilting one today anyway.
