The most common cause
If your MHW-3BOMBER Blade R3 stopped grinding properly right after you cleaned or disassembled it, the most likely cause is the washer going back in upside down during reassembly. We have seen this with more than one customer, and it is a two-minute fix at home.
What to do
- Watch the assembly video in the video section of the Blade R3 product page.
- Take the grinder apart again and check the washer's orientation against the video.
- Reassemble in the order shown and test with a small dose of beans.
