Hi all.. Just posting up a strange, by all accounts, issue with a new Rocky No Doser. Two days old.
I ran through some grinds to find what would work in one of my machines and after having some success decided to look into the beast and check the true zero. Around 10 for my small home machine btw.
I removed the hopper and easly moved the upper burr carrier clockwise until the burrs touched (machine off and gently turning the motor by the middle nut). I noticed in this process the carrier being harder to turn? So much so that I re-installed the hopper to aid in the rotation.
Now I am in the position where I am stuck at 20 with no chance of turning the hopper. This is with the unit between my legs and both hands gripping the hopper sitting on the floor!!!
My thoughts are that with problems of the slop requiring the use of teflon tape to hold the upper carrier firmly Rancilio has made the screw thread too tight. Some contaminent (coffee or swarth) has now got in there and jammed the thread.
My questions are;
Has any one else struck this problem?
Is my warranty voided by removing the hopper?
Thanks for reading....
