Acme Juicers - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Washing Machines to a better category. This appears to be an Australian machine and is unknown in North America. The is nothing on it apart from people selling them and no manual available. Normally, you remove the top. Then you remove the macerator, the part with the teeth. Then finally the basket. You wipe out the machine with a wet cloth and put it back together again after washing rinsing and drying the removable parts. The machine itself is not washable. https://www.google.com/search?q=grant+hackett+juice+machine+cleaning+instructions General videos here on cleaning juicers and they are all pretty similar. https://www.google.com/search?q=+juice+machine+cleaning+instructions ..

WARING AT 800 492 7464 OR COST PLUS
JUICERS AT 800 578 5939. ABOUT $30. IF
YOU ARE HANDY YOU CAN SHARPEN WITH
AN ELECTRIC DRILL AND SMALL BIT. DRILL
VERTICALLY IN TO EACH CUTTING CREVICE.

Believe the basket is the same. The newer lids have a flange
around them which can be filed down. Takes time, but file away
tapering it until it fits in the juice bowl. With a new lid you may
have to adjust the chute to blade gap. On bottom loosen center
locking nut and turn adjusting screw clockwise until chute contacts
blade, then back it off a half turn and lock it down. A few older lids
are around, but it's hit and miss.

Spray the nuts with WD40 and cover them with clingfilm so it doesn't evaporate. Position it so the WD40 runs down into the threads. Then try again 24 hours later. Fortunately parts are available and there is a schematic here. http://apartstore.com/acme_juicer_parts.html ..

buy a new blade if someone tells you they can sharpen the blade make sure the teeth are all even and the disk is rebalanced In other words buy a new blade the juicer will work better. BTW why do you think the blade needs replacing ???

disassemble clean and assemble paying attention to condition noise from bearings going out/screeching ??? noise from unbalanced load/ lots of vibration?? noise from scraping/grinding/metal on plastic ?? noise from scraping/grinding/plastic on plastic ?? there any burning smell also ?? is any part getting warm ( turn upside down to check ) ( hold or place on thick layer of kitchen towels be aware if it is old ~ 20 yrs give or take 20 yrs getting a new juicer will be less hassle than trying to repair

yes new rubber feet are available easy to install

You need to replace that motor.

check with an appliance repair shop but I suspect that it will be cheaper to junk it and get a new unit.

REMOVE THE COVER BY ROTATING AND

CLEAN ALL DISCOLORED PARTS BY FIRST
BOILING IN A SOLUTION OF OXI CLEAN AND
