- How to put your Braun coffee grinder back together when you try to replace the blade, but take it apart instead.
I originally got my blade from Electric Shaver Store in Lincoln, NE.
Braun Coffee Grinder Crushing Blade, Type 4041, KSM2, KSM4 but as of March 4, 2016 they no longer have them.
Today I ordered a new blade from ereplacementparts(dot)com. Braun Cutting Blade - 64041622 $1.99 + $5 S&H.

Was helpful in seeing just where the vertical on switch mechanism lined up. I've had this apart several times over the past decade+ but got on that this time around for some reason. Coffee build up inside causes the on switch to stick on. Thanks for taking the time to create this video.
*Have had 3 of these units in the past 20+ years. They are good grinders **MyBest.Kitchen** what most if not all the complaints are about concerns a small pop-up switch in the bottom of the unit where the clear plastic hopper slides in. Please don't throw the unit away when nothing happens after pressing the start button. Just take the hopper out, clean @ the pop-up switch or vacuum the area around the switch and I think you'll find that it turns on. Hope this helps....have read reviews where the unit only worked for one grinding, then mysteriously quit working. Again, clean the switch it will most likely solve the issue.*
In my case, the small clear plastic lever at the bottom of the unit, that is activated by the long bar being pushed when you put the lid on, is broken and the parts are no longer available, as far as I can find.
Almost 9 years after posting, this video is still so useful. Thank you!
I just re-watched and laughed at my one handed video work. The blades are no longer available, but mine is still going strong!
Thank you SOOOOOO Much!! I just ordered the replacement blade on Amazon, and have been working with the broken blade for the past 3 months. I found a really skinny flathead screwdriver and removed the old blade. Now, just waiting on the new one, and will definitely put a towel or something around it to not get cut. Much appreciation for this video!!! Yes!
Three thousand "review" videos later I finally find your useful video on how to take this booger apart.
Thank you.
Thank you very much. I also had to take mine apart to properly hold the bottom screw in place. Without your help I never would have figured out about the T-slot. Now my grinder is repaired and working. Hopefully, it will last me another 20 years.
Great info. Glad you pointed out how to do with a longer screwdriver! After finding the blade on Ebay, and waiting for the mail, it took 25 seconds to accomplish the task! You saved me an hour and a couple of bloody knuckles! Mahalo!
Thank you for the post. I am totally grateful you also posted where you got the parts. I really needed it. Good luck.
Best repair and cleaning video for the legendary Braun coffee grinder on all the Interwebs. Good job genius!
I took the biggest flat head screwdriver out of the small screwdriver set I use to fix glasses put it in my vise flat bit up, found the slot by feel by manipulating the old blade assembly, then used the correct socket to ratchet it out. Put the new one in and hand tightened and did final snugging with socket, making sure the bit was still on the slot. Thanks for the post. It kicked off my own solution. Not much torque needed to remove the blade assembly so those doing it the first time will be pleased how easy it is to get it off.
Wally Herrala I definitely went the long way around! Hence the video on constantly saying...don't do it the way I did by taking the whole thing apart ;)
Thank You. This VDO helped me understand how to repair my Cuisinart coffee grinder. This small appliance is built very similarly and the blade assembly from various brands seem to be swappable, too. I got mine working, now.
great video, took mine completely apart, had trouble orienting the plastic switch, you video was a great help.
Thanks for the entertaining and informative video. I had taken the Braun model KSM2 type 4041 all apart and could not figure out how to orient the little plastic clip that serves as a thermal safety switch (it is located on the opposite side of the trigger switch). It turns out that your video was the only place in all of cyberspace that showed this clip correctly installed. Thanks to your video, my grinder is back to chomping its way through the flax seed again.
Thanks, This same technique worked on my Mr. Coffee which i use to grind wheat for bread. The pearl about the long thin screwdriver was useful, i did not have to disassemble mine. I resharpen the blade on the grinder and it works very well. Thanks
Salut
Thanks for this. I had just put mine away to take to recycling center and was researching new ones and saw your post! Ordered part and on the way now!
This was a great video. Thank you! Others made it pretty clear how to take it apart, but not how to reassemble. Also, the trick for simple blade replacement, using the slot in the bottom could have saved me a lot of hassle. Sigh...
I will note that replacement blades are VERY hard to come by now. Braun, Amazon, ebay and ereplacementparts no longer carry them. I had to resort to buying a used KSM2 with a faulty motor for parts and do some pilfering. The actual blade was in mint condition, but the plastic cap (with threading house) was cracked open. It works, but isn't very pretty and I'm sure plastic fragments can get into the grinds. I'm going to try to rebuild that housing using epoxy putty, letting it dry, sanding, and re-threading the new part of the cap, but I'm still on the lookout for a mint replacement blade.
Check out the pinned comment from 11/3/2020 for an online retailer who still sells the blade!
Great video. Just a suggestion...in this case, you can heat the end of the screwdriver and enlarge (melt) the slotted hole in the bottom of the plastic case a little to allow the screwdriver to properly engage the shaft. Regards.
Thanks you very much, you give me helps to remove correctly blade on my very old coffee grinder (apparently not branded).
Thank you for this, just fixed mine the inside wire would not touch so i adjusted it
Lifesaver. Thanks for the helpful demo.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO>.. you saved my coffee grinder.. i had to put a little WD40 on the armature.. and BAM back to good.. thanks again J
Thanks so much for such a great video, i am 69 years old and have little time , so ii broke down and ordered a new one thanks,
The motor on mine seized up. Upon disassembly, I found it was simply so gunked up and corroded that the motor shaft would barely turn. If you have this problem, try this:
1. Remove the circlip on the bottom of the motor shaft. It's the C-shaped thing that fits in a groove at the end of the shaft and keeps it in place. Don't lose it.
2. Drip Liquid Wrench ("penetrating oil") around where the top-side shaft enters the motor (the end that the blade attaches to).
3. Tap the bottom of the shaft with a hammer, hard enough to move it up a little bit. It doesn't go that far, because the internal motor parts limit it. Now tap the top of the shaft with the hammer to push the shaft back down. Repeat this, moving the shaft back and forth and turning it until you've worked the penetrating oil into the grime and loosened the shaft.
4. When the shaft spins pretty freely, wipe off as much of the Liquid Wrench as you can, moving the shaft back and forth to expose more to wipe. Re-lubricate it with a light oil. I dripped some on both ends of the shaft. I used Tri-Flow, which is big with bicyclists. Not sure what the best choice is here, but I would NOT use WD-40: It gums up over time.
Thank-you very much! You are a great gal for doing this.
Thanks. Very helpful
wow, really good information! Just used this awsome little tool for first time, found it in some lost kitchen of friends - and it works perfectly! all room smells with karmamom now, hmmm. thanks for feeling responsible and making this funny&usefull video for us!
This product is still used maybe by million people at least. I teardown it myself and found out that dust easily getting inside to the motor, so maintenance dust cleaning is recommended often with vacuum cleaner. The strangest thing is that all parts today still available, but not the polycarbonate lid - and this is really awkward - why it is so hard to make a new ones with one casting mold basin i can't understand. The life of this product can be prolonged even more if someone would start making a glass lids for them.
Good point, completely agree.
Muchas gracias 🌹.
Saludos y bendiciones
THANKS, my Braun now works perfecto.
I love you... Thank you. That is all
That plastic tab is not pointing straight up on my grinder but is sticking out for some reason. It must have happened when I pulled the motor out. How to I fit it back into the slot on that plastic thingy on the side? Help?
Just get a 5/16" drill bit and widen the flat-head screw slot to a round hole. The plastic is soft so be careful. Don't press down hard on the drill. It only takes a second. You could probably widen the hole with a sharp box cutter or something sharp.
There are many ways to fix. I think the simplest is few drops of super glue - very in expense.
If the blade does not budge on activation, then it's the motor problem. If it turns, but slips the blade has come loose from the motor shaft. Quick test is turning the blade by hand - it will take little force to turn. If you can turn the blade easily, then its the case of stripped thread
You can replace the blade if you like.I think it's a overkill and expensive and not a easy job. In most cases it's case of cracked nut or stripped thread. The blade does not go bad easily.
Caution: In most cases the glued may have dripped below into the casing. Make sure to give the blade few turns, so that it will break loose of any casing binding.
If the plastic nut is cracked exposing the shaft thread - then squeeze few drops of super glue onto the shaft. This will bind the blade to the shaft. If the shaft thread is not cracked, squeeze the head of the plastic nut with pliers. This will crack the plastic and will expose the motor shaft thread.
Hello all. I have disassembled mine but now cannot get the “switch” to push the contact that makes the unit run. I see the clear part goes into the t shaped slot, but no matter how I press the button, it will not push the terminal enough to make it close the circuit and start. Any suggestions?
I have opened from, but how disassemble the blade and steel bowl
How docypu get coffee out of it? Intuitively I put it on it‘s head after grinding so the coffee falls into the lid, but that is not perfect since a little bit of coffee gets in between the plastic. Do you just go in with a spoon? I think that‘s even worse? Am I not seeing some arcane knowledge here? :D
thank youuuuuu!
Well done. I have a broken blade in a Hamilton Beach Mdl. 80344. It has the windup hidden cord on the bottom that makes it a bit more difficult to get to that critical screw. But with some tips from you, I got the blade off and I don't think I broke any of the cord winding pieces. Now just need to find a new blade. Fortunately, I also have this Braun unit so I can compare if the blades look interchangeable.
Update: May 17, 2018 ereplacementparts doesn't stock anymore and Amazon price is $75 + $5 shipping!! Please leave a comment if you know where they can be found. Found at PickeringAppliances.ca for $12.95 but I think they only ship to Canada.
This coffee and spice grinder is worth more than $100 now.
thanks now i can clean my muzza
Hi just wanted to know how do u take the motor out of the case to fit bowl and how to attach the t piece which is attich to motor. Could u please help me
Well you're going to have to watch the video and do the steps in reverse. Basically there's two screws that hold the motor mount onto the base. I wouldn't recommend it unless you absolutely feel you need to though.
Watch the video and I'll point out things that you'll need to take into account again in reverse. The cord the alignment of the gasket. The alignment of the crosshairs on the base motor. The alignment of the screw holes.
I have one of these grinders, only the design on mine is one that I cannot find on the "Internet" ANYWHERE...I have something that simply cannot be found....I've searched and searched...no dice...it's really irritating me...I dont know how else to find documentation of its existence....the design is a black grinder, with a gold ship in a port type scene...cannot find it ANYWHERE online
That was informative, thanx a ton. When the plastic part from the blade broke - it cracked the lid. Can anyone please guide me as to where I can buy the lid.
Nope. I did a search and it seems the lid replacement has been discontinued. Might find it on eBay.
Thank you so much.
awesome..., thank you for the tutorial. good video. and your ovaries make you the handy dandy inspiration. :P when Hubby is gone I usually fix the stuff around the house myself. Ciao.
Where to find this such a knife Braun coffee grinder because I have the same model and the same problem. I live in Serbia in Nis. This mill we received from relatives in Munich back in 1990. Greetings from sunny Nis.
ive just ordered a cheap one for me in Moscow
Hi. Where can I order the blades?
I haven't found any available. I got one off an old unit with a broken lid.
Anyone know where to get replacement blades from?
I just did a huge search. No luck. Looks like Delonghi/Braun had stopped manufacturing the replacement part. It's not even on eBay.
does anyone know where to order a new blade, I only see used blades on ebay
I bought new ones last Year from ebay to keep on hand.
@@EricaceaeCalluna Canada here. Individual blades on eBay not happening. Can buy a whole grinder there but with S&H on top of the unit I might as well buy a completely new mini blade grinder. Bummer.
Yeah, I'm not finding any either. I bought two last year when I found them.
@@canuckfixit7722 yes, it appears that's the case these days
Hi where did you find the blade? Thanks!
hi! ive just found for myself. if you are still interested, write me
@@superjetanastacia I'm looking for this same replacement blade
# BR64041622 help!
can you tell how toremove the blade
Did you find out yet?... I can tell you
Anon95125 Hold the bottom of the shaft still with that flat screw driver mentioned in the VDO and use a wrench (slip joint) to 'unscrew'/untighten the blade assembly. When put back, you can tighten the blade part back in at the end with the wrench after you screw it in by hand.
oh..I didn't use a wrench..hand tight seemed good enough...
Anon95125 Yep, I just hand tightened. One of the other suggestions by Wally Herrala was to use a socket to hold the blade and tighten it rather then hand tightening. Safer option for sure is to use a socket.
you are so good , i wish i have a wife lke you hahaha
Как разобрать и собрать свою кофемолку Braun при замене лезвия. Я купила свое лезвие в магазине торгующем электробритвами в городе Линкольн, Небраска. Это лезвие для дробления к кофемолке Braun, тип 4041, KSM2, KSM4.
Я каждый день молола кофемолкой миндаль для французских макарон, но она сломалась. Она перестала молоть.
Оказывается это случилось из-за поломки лезвий. Что же я сделала. Я заказала новую запасную часть для кофемолки Braun с номером 4041. Я нашла ее в интернете за 3,97 $ с доставкой. Мне прислали ее буквально в течение двух дней, и я могу отремонтировать мою кофемолку. Ну, позвольте мне показать вам, как я это сделала. Я нашла в интернете, как вставить плоскую отвертку в эту щель. Тем не менее я не поймала винт. Вместо этого, эти два отверстия ведут прямо к головкам винтов под крест, которые я уже выкрутила. Они были там. Их два, по одному на каждой стороне. И я сняла их. Таким образом я могу снять двигатель.
Почему я хочу снять двигатель? Потому что мне нужно было устойчиво держать эту часть, вот этот винт с плоской головкой чтобы я могла открутить мое лезвие. Я также очистила внутри, но там было не так много грязи, ну и заодним прочистила чашку тоже. Вы должны вставить эту часть обратно как бы 'вверх ногами', если понимаете о чем я. Видите там плоская сторона и круглая сторона. Так что я сейчас это выровняю, а затем покажу вам еще одну вещь - эту пластиковую часть, которую необходимо выровнять с T слотом на боку, таким образом она давит на медный провод тем самым создавая контакт и активируя двигатель. Я теперь все по быстрому соберу обратно выравнивая этот слот вот с этим здесь чтобы потом вставить на дно лотка.... Вот и дно лотка снова здесь. Я расскажу вам секрет, если вы будете снимать эту часть, видите ту плоскую сторону?
Используйте ее в свою пользу когда будете вставлять сюда на дно. Используйте плоскую сторону чтобы не мешали эти выпирающие части. Как я уже говорила, будем делать вверх ногами.Что у нас ... Это как шайба, резиновая шайба. Это сторона квадрата, как вы видите, что это квадрат и круг, который идет вниз и внутрь. Я ее выровняю отверткой. Так, сейчас все прекрасно выровнено. Как я уже говорила, этот слот идет ... Это как защелка А в отверстие B. Таким образом, есть отверстие B, есть защелка А .... А это закрепляется в ту выступающую часть. Видите, рядом с медной проволокой? Это пластиковая частичка куда все это закрепляется. Поэтому, когда кнопка нажата, медный провод создает контакт, что и запускает двигатель ... Ладно, наткнулась на другую проблему, которой я хотела бы поделиться. Тут есть 4 выступа в основании мотора, которые заходят в пазы. Вы видите отверстия? Вот сюда входят выступы, но я должна убедиться, что эти винтовые пазы совпали там с резьбовыми отверстиями. Это не так то просто. Итак, еще раз, если вы сможете найти достаточно длинную отвертку, размера которой хватит чтобы вставив через эту основу достичь винт, то такой вариант будет наилучшим. Опять же, еще одно замечание. Когда вы будете ставить крышку обратно на базу, это резьба под электрический шнур. Вы должны дать ему слабину, я просто хотела предупредить вас. Хорошо, так что я опустила крышку вниз, вы можете увидеть, я уронила один из винтов, и вы можете видеть, отверстия как по волшебству, выстроились почти отлично. Если бы у меня была достаточно длинная плоская отвертка.....
Делайте все возможное, чтобы прислушаться к моему совету... Всегда отключайте электронику, прежде чем работать с ней. Используйте тонкую длинную плоскую отвертку и выравнивайте ей ... Сейчас это не выровнено. Надо выровнять отверстия с винтами ... Так, они выстроились ровно. Я поставлю эту плоскую отвертку, и мне надо довольно сильно нажать. Пожалуйста, обратите внимание, что эти новые лезвия довольно острые, но они снимаются также точно. Откручивается влево... Ой, я не хочу порезаться. И вправо-затянуть. Так против часовой стрелки, чтобы открутить его, и по часовой стрелке, чтобы закрутить. Я быстро проверю. Я сделаю сахарную пудру из сахарного-песка, это довольно быстро. Это лезвие очень острое, есть огромная разница со старым. Вы будете делать правильно, когда вы вставите тонкую длинную плоскую отвертку в отверстие, выровняйте отверстия с лицевой стороны ... Возьмите тряпку или полотенце. Это надо делать двумя руками. Вы должны устойчиво держать ее за дно, а затем повернуть против часовой стрелки, чтобы снять его, а затем по часовой стрелке, чтобы вернуть его на место.
Я просто не рекомендовала бы брать этот друг от друга. Я сделала, она сейчас работает. Сверх быстро. Замечательно. Заменить лезвие это дешево. Конечно, я знаю, что кофемолки дешевы, но заменить лезвие все равно намного дешевле. Это стоило мне 8 $. Двигатель хороший и еще поработает.
They make trash equipment
