Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your MHW-3BOMBER Race M1 grinder, consider the following common solutions:

• Grinder is difficult to turn:
  • Check if the grind setting is too fine. A very fine setting can increase resistance. Adjust to a coarser setting.
  • Ensure no foreign objects are in the bean hopper.
  • Clean the burrs thoroughly, as accumulated coffee oils and fines can cause resistance.
• Inconsistent grind:
  • Verify that the grind adjustment dial is securely tightened to your desired setting.
  • Ensure the burr is clean and free of obstructions.
  • Check for any loose components after reassembly.
• No coffee grounds collecting:
  • Confirm that coffee beans are loaded into the hopper.
  • Check if the burr is clogged. Disassemble and clean if necessary.
