I never had any problem with this product maybe the band is messed up and you need to buy a new band

I have never had a problem with this product. The last one I had lasted over 15 years. I bought one for my son and he has not had any problems either.

I have owned my grinder since January 2014. I use it twice every day, at least 3 times a day on weekends. I have had no problems.Yours may be defective. Definitely call customer service and give them the opportunity to make it right.

The band needs to be worked in a bit to start with, but I am not sure there is a way to keep all pages open. I have never been in the situation where I've needed both pages open at the same time.

Have you tried loosening or tightening the grind adjustment in the middle of the top piece? You must twist in a "clockwise" direction. Mine works great, and I have used it for 9 months. If it doesn't grind after making the adjustments, then it could be broken.

An old trick I learned when I was a kid was to put a penny on top of the head of the tone arm, the little bit of extra weight keeps the needle in the groove. If it happens with every record that might fix it, if one penny helps but doesn't stop the skipping add another. I wouldn't put more than 3 pennies on it though.I hope that works.

it's not very hard, but not terribly easy either -- just be sure to press it down before turning. as far as i know, it doesn't need to be grinding when you turn it... in fact, I have only tuned it when NOT grinding and it works just fine.

Mine is doing same blasted thing. You have to make sure the handle is all the way down and keep set screw tight on regular basis. Very aggravating!!!!!! But what do you do??

I am glad those who have answered aren't having this problem, but I really am only interested in resolving my problem and hearing from anyone who has the same issue only, not that some people don't have this issue, that doesn't help at all. I have researched other websites and find there are many others who also have this problem, has something to do with internal plastic. Guess it's time to move onto a new mixer.

Does it just do it at first? Mine always makes a loud grinding noise until it actually starts swinging good.

maybe you need to adjust the grind time. if it doesn't stop when set to the minimum, something is broken. or put in the double shot cup and set it to single shot grind volume.

Yes, after less than 2 years, my grinder stopped grinding well, I couldn't fix it, and had to get rid of it. I was really mad.

To answer your question, I tried the "coarse" setting (since I never use it). Most of the pieces were coarse but some were more like "medium." Looks like the grind is not even on the "coarse" setting.

My grinder works great. Regarding your problem, you could try replacing the batteries or possibly changing the type of salt/pepper your using. Good luck!

mine did something like this once when i first got it (2 years ago). the turntable was jammed somehow. sorry i can't remember any more details.

What did you end up doing about it? Our pedal has fallen off and it seems the hole is also stripped. I don't know how it stayed on to begin with. I guess somehow with repeated use the hole got bigger. Replacing the pedal will not fix the problem either.

You have a band and then (on top), the 'head'. There is button in the head. You need to press to turn on and press to turn off. Enjoy!

Yep, it just starts spinning as soon as there's power! Make sure the cover's on and turned clockwise so the slots and tabs lock in to place! It shouldn't start grinding away until the cover is sealed.
