    1. Repairing the grinder, Before assembly: step 10, image 1 of 1
      • Take a photo of the mark on the large gear wheel; it should be in the same position when you reassemble it.

      • Although the motor is powered by 230 V, diodes ensure that only positive half-waves are supplied, so that the motor only rotates in one direction. Make a note of how the connection cables are plugged in. Test later to see if it is rotating in the correct direction.

      • You can test the motor with approximately 25 V DC. It should turn easily and draw approximately 120 mA. If this is not the case, check the carbon brushes on the side. Only then should you consider replacing it.

      • Any brackets—in this case, the black rubber sleeve—must be transferred to the new part.

      • The speed sensor can only be removed from the inside. To do this, you must disconnect its plug from the main circuit board and expose the cables.

      • Transfer the sensor to the new part.
