Hobart KitchenAid Coffee Mill KCM

Who is our resident expert in taking these apart and assembling and adjusting them properly? I got a neat one in mint condition in Harvest gold, but it was obviously taken apart and re-assembled incorrectly. The grind selector on the bottom is way too low so the feet barely touch the counter. The center screw touches the counter first, and the clip that is supposed to be under the aluminum base (invisible) is on the wrong side (visible). How does one go about taking these apart? This is the newer, plastic body, not the old metal and glass.

Funny- the small appliance repairman Rich took a chrome/glass one to reassembled his incorrectly too. And, added a cord that was about 10' long!

Good luck, Bobby!

Bobby, I'm sure one of the gurus over at CoffeeGeek.com can help.

Thanks Jeff!
It's a hard site to navigate through. Nothing vintage came up. Any of our own members ever taken one of these apart?

Bobby,
I have this coffee mill and use it almost every day, but I've never taken it apart.

Go to Partselect.com and put in the model KCM.

There is a schematic that shows the assembly.

Thanks Bill!

What a cool site, didn't know it existed. I use repair clinic but they really don't have small electrics; (which are the wave of the future BTW); there.

Partselect has the scanned parts pages, but they are very fuzzy. Does anyone have a repair guide for these mills? Would Whirlpool have them online?
