FELT WASHER

"Easy to fit."

"The felt washer is easily fitted once all grinder accessories are removed."

"Replace where existing part was"

"Clean out machine thoroughly with a vacuum cleaner, undo left hand threaded acorn nut holding grind burr, remove grinding mechanism and remove felt washer, clean grinder with a toothbrush and vacuum cleaner, when clean replace components - remember left hand threaded acorn nut."

"Followed the instruction book"

"Undo the nut securing the conical burr grinder and lift it away. note reverse thread for the conical burr grinder. then remove the wheel below it. insert the felt washer around the base of the spindle of the burr grinder. replace the parts."

"Take the grinder apart and replace the faulty one"

"Follow instructions provided with coffee machine"

"Machine is sometimes making hissing noise when putting on water for coffee. internet said what parts to get. got them but machine is not broken yet - will know once it doesnt work anymore."

"Before you do anything make sure your coffee machine is unplugged from the wall for safety. for grinder removal and cleaning use the grind set adjustment on the most course setting. i would suggest laying out all the pieces in the order you remove them so you dont get mixed up when putting it back together (if you do refer to the exploded diagram on this website). if you put them on a cloth or paper towel this is a good opportunity to give them a good clean of all the stuck coffee grind - my suggestion is an old toothbrush. (keep them dry or wait until they are completely dried - you dont want a wet grinder) take apart the grinder by unlocking and removing the bean hopper then using the handle for the outside burr to unlock and remove it. then use your pliers or adjustable spanner to unlock the top nut in the centre note this is reverse-threaded. carefully remove the washers and burrs piece by piece and you will find the felt washer at the very bottom. some of these are tricky to get out with just your hands but try sticking your brush under them to lift up one side first or use pliers to pick up the whole thing from the outside. i had to replace this myself because i tried cleaning my last one and it fell apart in my hands - so be very gentle with it."
