Thank you very much for sharing this stuff on RU-vid. I just fixed mine and saved the blender from going into the trash can! I saved money too!!! Thanks once again 😊
Thank you, helpful video. But when you show close up of the brushes, your hands were beyond the scope of the camera lens so we couldn’t see the brushes.
The blade on mine was stuck so unplugged machine & placed tea towel around blade and slightly turned clockwise to ease, very stubborn but eventually turned easily and machine started working.
Don't bash it with a hammer! You need to remove the two screws under the stainless steel "bowl" first. These instructions are also good for the older but similar Krups F202 Household Coffeemill. For the F202, remove the bottom by taking out the two screws and then unscrew the blade from the motor. You may need a gripper like a pair of pliers on the blade and a screwdriver in the slot on the bottom end of the motor shaft to unscrew it. Then you might need to tap the motor shaft to release it from the plastic dust seal. The stainless steel bowl DOES NOT need to be removed on the F202: There are no screws below it. Remove the power cord retainer and the motor will slide out. Use a drop or two of light motor oil ("3-IN-ONE" oil is good) on the bearing at each end of the shaft and reassemble. This video and Part 2 (reassembly) are very helpful!
Followed these instructions. Rubber seal will be damaged. Pins that hold bottom on may break (could super glue the bottom back on I guess). Not built for being repaired. I recommend simply replacing.
That was a nice video, very clear with instructions. Thank you! -. But, that music in the background was so unnecessary, so annoying and distracted from what you were trying to say. If you watch it, you will know what I mean. Try not to put irritating soundtracks, which spoil an otherwise excellent video. Thank you and best wishes.
If you look, there is a slot in the bottom of the plastic cover (under the label) that allows a small flat-head screwdriver to engage the slot in the motor shaft from the base. This allows one to hold the motor shaft while turning the cutting blade on the other end so that it can be removed. To get the metal cup off the motor shaft I used compressed air at aimed at the motor shaft and it popped the cup out. This allowed access to the two screws that hold the motor but don't remove them until you have taken the bottom off if that is what you plan to do. I just put some oil on this end of the motor shaft and hope that it will find its way down to where it needs lube.
Thanks for this very important information & also other small suggestions by viewers. Still l am facing one problem that blades are so tight & not coming out, l sprayed WD-40 in the inner side & keep the unit for one day, but no result, any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi, did you try from the bottom using a screwdriver? One viewer suggests, you can use screwdriver if you remove bottom label. Hope this will help. Thanks
If you have a cd stuck way back in the cd drive, can you remove the front cover where the buttons are to get the cd out after you remove the stereo like you did?
Thanks a lot. Couldn't find a guide how to remove the blade/bowl, and this explained it perfectly. I was rinsing it clean with water, until I heard water trapped somewhere. Needless to say, that's fixed.
I used this info to replace the mains wire that had broken at the entry point into the base. To do this you need to remove the base but not the blade/ motor. Mine is an old version of this model- about 12 years old I think but seemed identical to the one shown. The hairdryer worked well (I used the focusing attachment on the hairdryer to narrow the heated area and warmed for about 30-45 secs on max heat- be careful not to melt it!). I found that it worked best to warm all the points first and then re-warm the first point to lever off the base. The blade of a blunt table knife worked much better than a screwdriver that tended to damage the plastic. I also found the clips opposite side of the mains wire were easier to start the levering process- but this might have been just my unit. Anyway I shortened the mains cable and now all works well, and I cancelled my Amazon order for a new one!! So thanks for the video!!
I thank you for your video but mine was much harder to open from the bottom. Before I tried that, I tried loosening the mechanism from the top, which didn't work. After opening, I tried to put the motor back together, but the pins on springs were a huge pain. In the end, I ended up accidentally breaking a wire and threw the unit out. Appreciate you making a video for this, even if it didn't work out for me. I won't be buying another Krups product though...
I tried unsuccessfully to pry off the bottom, but after reading another persons description of how it was just stuck, I decided to just manually spin the blade by hand. I did it for awhile and it got loser, plugged it in and it spun a bit, I kept repeating this until the blade finally broke free of whatever was causing it to bind and it works fine now. I suggest trying that first before trying to disassemble the entire thing. All I managed to do was put marks all over the 4 hole surfaces when trying to pry it loose!
this worked for me too, thank you! just manually spun the blade like 20x & it worked again. hope others see this and try it before disassembling their whole grinda
Ok I just hammered the base screw that attaches to the blade and it started working again, I’m not sure of the repercussions of this but I’m currently making coffee !
