How to Repair the Mythos Plus Grinder and Tamper

[@TheABCDEFam]

Hi can you do a video on opening the bottom plate? To fix the switch.

[@EspressoServiceNetwork]

You bet! Are you referring to the button board above or the activation switch for the portafilter below?

[@TheABCDEFam]

Hi i have question about mythos I bought second hand mythos and found out grinder is not spinning when it goes finer I cleaned inside of burr carrier however i found that burr carrier isnt spinning by my hand manually when i assembled Do you know what is problem ? First I suspected it was capacitor problem however i think it isnt.. after i see burr carrier isnt spinning If you can help me to solve problem it would be awsome :)

If you cannot physically spin the burr carrier by hand, something is obstructing it or the bearing is seized.

The tamper lever of my Mythos always stops half an inch before it's back in its top position and I always have to to "help" it get back. Just did this service but the lever still doesn't work normal. Any idea?

Did you replace the main spring? All the springs and the pressure release ball need to be lubricated. Let me know if that helps?

[@bennilasvegas]

@@EspressoServiceNetwork I didn't replace the main spring (I lubricated everything extensively). But I just ordered a new main spring and will replace it as soon as it arrives.

[@EspressoServiceNetwork]

@@bennilasvegas That should fix your problem. The main spring should be replaced every 10 to 20 hours of operation. If low use, at least once a year. Let me know if you continue to have a problem?

[@bennilasvegas]

@@EspressoServiceNetwork So, it wasn't really the spring (I changed it anyway since I ordered it). It was more or less not following your procedure a 100%. At 18:10 you screw in that tamper pressure control and the little steel ball before you put everything together. I screwed in the ball and the pressure control after I assembled the unit. Had to do it several times because it wouldn't work. Then I just followed the video step by step and it finally worked.
