    Re: Sunbeam 6910 woes

    well i rang the insurance place for the credit card. Seems because i paid a small portion cash, and the rest on the card im not eligible for the extra warrenty.

    It is frustrating that jsut outside the warrenty things go bad. Average price for the machine is $600ish. I would have hoped that it would last longer than it did.

    I guess the original group seal must be slightly thicker than the replacement. the handle swings past 5 Oclock when i try to lock it down tight. i might see if i can try the spacers.

    Does anyone know how much a collar replacement is likely to be? The down time that it is away is also crap.

      I have been quoted $60.00 for the collar - but of course labour is extra.

        Sunbeam are sending me a spacer. Anyone know where I can find instruction on replacing the group seal. I got the basket off easily and the managed to get the nut off, but nothing past that. How does the assembly come out?

          hmm a $60 collar will quickly turn to a $120 replacement

            Flatwhite check the model number on your machine - it sounds like you have a 6900. On the 6910 you only have to take out the screw!

                Thanks TG. It seem that just sending the spacer was sufficient. The problem has rectified itself before I was able to try and follow those instructions.
                Go figure!
