I installed a new hub on a Champion Juicer, reconnecting the wires that are attached to the magnet; when I turned it on there were lots of sparks. Any ideas to what could be wrong?

to the person. champion juicer running hot. if your blade is dull it will run hot bcuz its harder to turn and gets clogged easy. look online for new or less used blade.

I'm having the same problem, the blank screen just doesn't fit the main body that well (I think the body on mine may have been warped by someone putting it in the dishwasher). Since I'm only going to be using my Champion as a front-end for a hydraulic press, I bought some food-grade silicone sealant (from McMaster-Carr or EMI Supply) and I'm just going to permanently attach the blank screen to the juicer body and slide the screen holder over that. There's a new O-ring for the back where the body attaches to the motor that might be needed as well.

You have to have the juicer attached, there is a little magnet that allows the machine to turn on.

After reading your initial post and responding...yes, take a 1/4" socket wrench and loosen the four bolts at the other end of the motor. The hub will come off easily. If you have ot replace the oil seal, I have not figured out how to do that yet. I beleive the replacement hub has a new oil seal already installed. hope this helps

Yu have to have the juicer on and properly postioned, it has a little magnet that activates the machine, if it is not on it will not turn on.

Juicer has to be attached, little magnet on the bottom.

Hi I had the same problem yesterday and emailed Champion Juicer about the problem here's their reply below, his suggestion worked. Hello Duane, Your machine is equipped with a magnetic start system which will only allow the machine to start when you have the screenholder all the way in place just as you would have it to start juicing. If you do not have any parts on the machine it will not start. Please assemble it again and give it a try. If it still wont start call me at 209-369-2154 for further assistance. Thank you Carl
