SILVERCREST Monsieur Cuisine Connect SKMC 1200 Spring Pot Lock replacement

Introduction

These instructions are used to replace the springs of the pot closure. Why is it necessary? If the pot of the SILVERCREST Monsieur Cuisine Connect no longer clicks into place in the main unit, the springs on the catch are probably broken.

This becomes noticeable when the pot can either no longer be completely retracted, or the device does not work despite the lid being closed.

Super das es funktioniert hat!

Wo bekomme ich diese Zugfedern und welche Größe benötige ich genau? Vielen Dank schon einmal

kathrin schulte - Reply

Entweder bestellst du sie online oder du versuchst es in einem Fachhandel. Der Ersteller dieser Anleitung gibt die Längen der Federn mit 5 mm und mit 25 mm an. Wenn du nur längere findest, kannst du sie theoretisch auch selbst kürzen.

Ich habe die Zugfedern in diesem Artikel mit einem Link hinterlegt. Diese müssen zum Teil mit einer Zange manuell gekürzt werden. Das ist aber relativ einfach möglich.
