  • 0480 sweeping lugs disappeared

    Have found lately that as I grind the ground coffee has been quite slow in dispensing. Figured today was as good a time as any to investigate, and found that it was pretty well clogged up in around the bottom burr. This has happened due to there being not a single sweeper lug left.

    Now I know for a fact that I havent had anything up the spout to break them off, and am yet to check with the billy lids if theyve been playing with it.

    Do Sunbeam have these as a replaceable item? Is it worth buying replacements if they do so?

    Hi MP,

    Last week I broke the 3 blades off the sweeper in my EM 0450.
    Rang Sunbeam and visited an agent.
    I found that Sunbeam lists 2 parts for the EM 0450 and a few more for the EM 0480 but no sweepers.
    So am now preparing to manufacture a substitute from Al sheet.

    If your interested Ill let you know if successful.

      No they dont.

      I got one once from their bin.
      It might be worth asking if they have any broken grinders lying around they could scavenge one from for you too.

      You might end up with a nice little sideline business.

        Thanks for the suggestions, Ill give em a yell tomorrow. As well as needing a working grinder - I can put up with the slow dispense for the moment, but will probably be selling grinder and machine in the next few weeks so really do need it to be in prime working order.

            Well its done.
            And it works (at least for the minute).
            So on function its fine (touch wood).
            But an item with appearance that only its mother could love.
            Suitable for sale to blind Freddy only.

                  OK I will cut some strips and bring them
                  I also have some 100 mm lengths of aluminium angle pieces if that is better suited
                  I just dont know what they looked like so I am offering other options
