Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your meat grinder, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor stops during operation. | Overload or overheating. | Turn off and unplug. Remove any blockage. Let the motor cool down for at least 30 minutes. Reduce the amount of meat or cut it into smaller pieces. |
| Meat is not grinding properly or jams. | Meat is too tough, contains bones/tendons, or pieces are too large. Parts are incorrectly assembled. | Ensure meat is boneless, tendon-free, and cut into small pieces. Check assembly of blade and cutting plate. Use the reverse function to clear minor jams. |
| Loud noise during operation. | Incorrect assembly or foreign object. | Check that all parts are correctly assembled and tightened. Disassemble and check for any foreign objects. |
| Aluminum parts discolor after washing. | Washed in dishwasher or with harsh chemicals. Not dried immediately. | Always hand wash aluminum parts with warm, soapy water and dry immediately. Avoid alkaline cleaners or bleach. This discoloration is often cosmetic and does not affect function, but proper care prevents it. |
