Expert Review
Hearing the motor whirring but not getting any action from the blades? Nine times out of ten, it's this little drive wheel that's worn out. It’s a common wear-and-tear item on busy spice grinders. Thankfully, this genuine Buffalo part is a doddle to fit, getting you back to grinding spices in minutes without needing an engineer.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always unplug the grinder before attempting any repair.
- Use the correct tools to access the drive assembly.
- Ensure the new wheel is seated securely on the spindle.
- Avoid overloading the grinder to prolong part life.
Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this part difficult to install myself?
A: For a competent person, it is a straightforward replacement. However, always consult your appliance's manual and ensure it is disconnected from the power supply first.
