How we repair your Meat Grinder
An electric meat grinder feeds meat through a throat into an auger that pushes it against a rotating knife and perforated plate to produce ground meat. A meat grinder is built around a motor, a drive system of gears or belts, switches and safety interlocks. A technician checks the motor and its brushes or capacitor, the drive train, the switches and interlocks, and blade or attachment condition.

Common Meat Grinder problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Motor hums but auger does not turn

- A sheared safety gear or drive pin, a jammed auger, or a failed motor capacitor.

Motor overheats and shuts off

Meat smears instead of grinding
- Likely causes
- A dull knife or plate, the knife installed backwards, or meat that is too warm.
- What our technician checks

Grinder jams frequently
- Likely causes
- Sinew wrapping the knife, pieces cut too large, or a ring tightened too much.
- What our technician checks
- The head is disassembled and checked for sinew buildup and correct assembly.
Reverse function not working
- Likely causes
- A failed reverse switch or control circuit.
- What our technician checks
- The reverse switch and wiring are tested.
Grinding noise from the gearbox
- Likely causes
- Worn or stripped gears or dry bearings.

Quick checks you can do safely
- Chill meat and grinder parts in the freezer before grinding.
- Check that the knife faces the plate with the flat side against it.
- Cut meat into strips that fit the throat easily.
- Use reverse briefly to clear a jam if available.
- Press the overload reset after the motor has cooled.
Safety first: Always use the food pusher, never fingers, and unplug the grinder before clearing a jam or handling the knife.
