Grease Catcher I know that on my toastermaster their is a little section to catch the grease but what is that thing beside it... I thought it was also to catch grease but was wrong so..... Thanks!!!

grease should be administered sparingly
one pump of the grease gun every 1 month
excessive grease beside splattering over everything will in most instances cause overheating especially in spinning bearings

I just replaced the piston collar,and I did use a little white lithium grease.Going out to test it in the morning,and will let you know the results.My thoughts are that it can't be such a bad thing,since the entire inside of the chamber was very well oiled already

NO, they will catch without grease but will wear out if not greased.

You really should clean and oil/grease the entire thing. Dust, lint, old oil and grease can harden making your machine not run properly. Another thing that may be causing you issues is dried up and gunked up grease on some inner gears. Take off as many access panels as you can and use a tooth brush to remove yellowed dry grease from gears, replace the grease with one made for sewing machines. Lightly grease... just a little dab will do it. Turn the machine by hand to work the grease around the gears.


Make sure it's out of bobbin winding mode. Do you remember if you had had to replace the motor belt or had to take the hand wheel off for some reason?

Take the hand wheel off and look for a funny looking lock washer (typically has ears on the outside of the washer and two fingers pointing toward the center of the washer that fits into two grooves) The two fingers are slightly angled... the angled fingers should be pointing OUTWARD when you put it on. This seems counter intuitive but it must be inserted this way for your machine to work correctly. Put it back together and see if it works.

I like to use Liquid Wrench for especially stubborn machines that have been sitting. Don't use WD40 it will free up rusty things but you have to wipe it down well and re-oil. Liquid Wrench is petroleum spirits (kerosene) and graphite, much better for the machine in the long run.

Good luck.

Sadly, the service directions, while excellent, are for a Sunbeam Mixmaster Model 12...uselful for a Dormeyer only in the most general of terms.

So I gather that the release inside the car has release the hood's primary catch, but the T handle is not release the secondary catch to allow the hood to fully open.

If this is the case, take some lithium grease or WD-40 (lithium grease is much better and lasts much longer) and spray it onto the catch assembly.

Try pulling on the T handle some more after a few minutes of the grease soaking in and see of that releases.

If that doesn't work, then take a long flat screw driver and press it against the catch gently hit the screw driver with a hammer (you should be trying to push the catch towards the driver's side of the car)
You may need someone to be pulling on the T handle as you hit the catch with a hammer. I actually had to do this with a jetta before....

i no what you mean if you grease the slot you gonna have more maintenance to more often coffee dust goes in that grease have to clean with hot water more often but its what you have to 95% of time when those machine break down its bad maintenance had mine for over 14000 shot the only thing i had to do beside maintenance is completly dismantle the brew group for a good clean up that it clean or machine once a mounth descaling it every 3 mounth you gonna have it for a long long time p.s the grease make it easyer for the gear inside thanks

well if you open your trunk and look at the drivers side there should be a little door with a screw and if you open it theres a little casing with two pull tabs scwezz and open put a little grease on the plug end of the bulb and insert then reasemble

I am using a disposable foil loaf that I bent to fit in the drip space.

I'm sure your local SPCA has many dogs to replace your grease trap eating one.
