If it is an Olde Thompson, you can send it to them and they will replace it.

David, take the KitchenAid mixer apart, & you will see the old grease in the gear assembly. Remove as much of the old grease, then replace with the new. If you want to see how it is done, see this video in Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eKHVvNX5eY. It is really easy. Hing

Wow... assuming it was a hard cheese, which is not recommended in any chopping kind of device without first cubing into much smaller pieces. My best guess/suggestion (from my hubby) would be to unplug it first, remove any cheese you can, wash/wipe the blades as best you can, and take it to a local "fix-it" shop. The motor may be jammed, but might be unstuck by a professional. You might also call Customer Service for KitchenAid for even better advice. 1-800-541-6390, M-F, 8-8

There is a round silver screw on the bottom that you turn to adjust the grind. Turn it clockwise for a finer grind, counterclockwise for a coarser grind. This works on my mill. If yours doesn't work there's something wrong with it.

Remove the bad starter and on the end that has the geared spindle there should be a part number and manufacturer. Post it and then I can answer your question

I have never had a serious problem with the grinder such as yours, but I would assume if you contact the manufacturer they would replace your product.

i read a post saying simply turn the broken gear 180 degrees and reinstall. my wife broke the handle on mine , (she could break a cannon ball). i've had no luck finding a parts supplier, (just ordered another machine). i will say the "powermatic 1 manual" is the best tube loader money can buy.

Hi Yolanda, try taking the cover off by pulling it away from the two tabs on either side, then lifting until the hooks on the front end release. Check that the belt is in place and not off the gears or broken. Check also for any debris that might be preventing the belt or the brush from turning. To replace the cover, make sure brush is in its slots, then hook the cover on the front hooks and click back into place.

You might try contacting the company. Depending upon which part you need to replace, you may find a suitable substitute at a local hardware store.

The drive gear on the motor is metal, and the reduction and transfer gears are plastic. If the grinder in stressed or if something gets caught in the auger (like a bone), the drive gear can strip the plastic reduction gear. Waring claims this is not serviceable by the owner, but it is. The part is a Kenwood KW650740 and you can get two for $8 on aliexpress.com. You also need a set of "safety" (hollow core) torx bit (T27 size?) to take off the base, and a regular T30 torx to get the motor out.

Same thing happened when I purchased this bike for my grandson. the other online reviews say that the gears strip and the bike stops working. I returned bike and asked for refund.

What did you end up doing about it? Our pedal has fallen off and it seems the hole is also stripped. I don't know how it stayed on to begin with. I guess somehow with repeated use the hole got bigger. Replacing the pedal will not fix the problem either.

My gears (metal) are fine after a couple dozen uses since November 2012. Just a few spots of rust, perhaps because I wash it in the dishwasher, against manufacturer's instructions. By "wore out" do you mean the gear teeth broke or merely that the gears fell off? Be sure to only turn the crank clockwise. If you turn it the wrong way the gears will unscrew and fall off, but you can screw them back on again. That's not the same as being worn out.

SuVan - it is the same procedure as with other peppermills we have owned: you unscrew the knurled metal top; lift off the wooden cover; pour in peppercorns; and replace the cover and metal top. And, this peppermill works BETTER than any I've ever used -- and I love freshly ground pepper.

Abbey,Stay away from this product. It is so cheaply made that the plastic gears stripped during the first use. (I was chopping something softer than potatoes). Chris

Thank you so much for your reply. I finally ended taking the machine in for repair. Apparently a part needs to be replaced.But I will keep in mind the MX850 in the future.
