Sharpen KitchenAid A-9 burrs

How to sharpen burrs

    Wow, super clear directions. I replaced burr set, replaced pin and no longer the hunk of junk I purchased on eBay. Beautiful grind. I'm keeping my old set for a "just in case" event. This A-9 manufactured about 2006; my 2003 that I bought retail, has never malfunctioned, used daily. Thank you!!

    BYW, the structure of my two machines are different and in asking for advice, I found it's important to state the model # as a "1" is added after the color designation on the newer models, circa 2006.

You simply can not sharpen it.
The grinding is not based on actual cutting, but more like crushing. The "knives" are slightly conical pair and you adjust the grain size of the ground coffee by adjusting the space between the two parts.
If it is actually damaged you have to replace it, but if you have been grinding very "oily" beans there might be some left over stuck into the burrs. Then you need to clean it by taking the grinder apart and brush the knives with a stiff brush - do not use soap or water. A stiff toothbrush is just ideal for this.
All the best,
Villi

Motor quit running

I recently found one and it wouldn't turn so I took off the top burr and it would turn on so I would start with a thorough cleaning of the burrs then check the setting of the burrs, if they are too close the they wont allow the motor to run.
Next if the motor runs but the burrs don't turn it would be a sheared shear pin which is designed to shear in case a pebble got in the coffee before damage could occur
Third worn motor brushes. My motor was intermittent and found the brushes down to nothing. Now I am looking for new ones

Cannot get the grinding ring option to turn

This is a set screw. You need to take this out.
You can access this to either clean the burr
grinding wheel. Maybe this needs changed.
If you google the Kitchenaid A-9 Burr grinder you can get instructions to download on this machine.
