Sadly my Vario, which has worked faultlessly for over 10 years, had a major meltdown yesterday, and I'm wondering if anyone can help (other posts here suggest there are a few people who know quite a bit about these.
While I was grinding beans, both the course and fine adjustment levers suddenly moved to the bottom of their range, and the noise changed from the regular grinding noise to a high pitched one. The grinding stopped, but it sounded like the motor was still going, like something was spinning fast. I switched it off a few seconds later, and the machine smelled like something had gotten hot (but not burning). Does this sound like any failure you've heard of before?
Finally - are there any repairers in Melbourne you'd suggest for this grinder?
