GaggiaGuy Visitor	HELP...Gaggia MDF Locked Up - 2007/08/10 14:20 Hi, and thanks in advance for your help. (I may have had this posted in the wrong forum previously.) After joyfully using my vintage Gaggia MDF grinder for about six months, the other morning it just locked up. When I pressed the power button, all I got was a hum. Emptied all the beans out and took it up to the coarsest setting and tried again...same. Shook it...same. Cursed it...same. Was thinking about trying to take it apart to see if I could locate the problem, but I'm not sure how. I've seen a reference posted for plug-covered screws inside the hopper, but I don't see those on mine. Any ideas or assistance in troubleshooting this problem are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think the poll has some value at least in the sense of which cafes have a strong report with their regulars as well as an awareness of the poll going on. Obviously, the cafes near the top of the po...
