Acme 6001 Juice Extractor - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Washing Machines to a better category. This appears to be an Australian machine and is unknown in North America. The is nothing on it apart from people selling them and no manual available. Normally, you remove the top. Then you remove the macerator, the part with the teeth. Then finally the basket. You wipe out the machine with a wet cloth and put it back together again after washing rinsing and drying the removable parts. The machine itself is not washable. https://www.google.com/search?q=grant+hackett+juice+machine+cleaning+instructions General videos here on cleaning juicers and they are all pretty similar. https://www.google.com/search?q=+juice+machine+cleaning+instructions ..

Believe the basket is the same. The newer lids have a flange
around them which can be filed down. Takes time, but file away
tapering it until it fits in the juice bowl. With a new lid you may
have to adjust the chute to blade gap. On bottom loosen center
locking nut and turn adjusting screw clockwise until chute contacts
blade, then back it off a half turn and lock it down. A few older lids
are around, but it's hit and miss.

What juicer what knob?

Hi Rue, Here is another from Amazon to crosscheck Acme Replacement Juicer Filter Liners for Model 6001 or 5001 200 Pack . Here is another source of 600 filters for a modest price. Acme Juicer Juicers at Discount Prices

From Waring or just google acme juicer parts.

Rotate the lid and unscrew the clutch nut
holding down the blade and basket. Then
you can lift the hold assembly out.

Unfortunately, since these juicers do not eject the pulp, they will tend to go out
of balance. Juice nothing softer than apples and try to feed it as evenly and as
slowly as possible.

I've had one for 21 years and when I replaced the blade the same thing happened.
The blade is not supposed to be held firmly in place so it can slip intentionally to
minimize vibration. If you bought the juicer new, think back, and I believe you will
remember the vibration problem. I seems with a worn blade they vibrate less. The
motor is very durable and uses roller bearings like on a skate board. I went back
to the old blade, which I sharpen with a drill using a small bit.

Call Waring at 1 800 494 9464, they should be able to tell you where to go locally.

Call Waring at 1800 492 7464, they may be able to help you out. There is not
a whole lot involved here. Place the juice bowl on the base first, then the basket,
blade, secure with the clutch nut and rotate the cover to lock it in place. Watch
out they vibrate, so juice hard produce evenly and slowly.

Well the cover locks in place and holds the juice bowl down. The clutch nut
secures the blade and basket. Either part can be obtained from Waring at

Rotate the cover to unlock and remove it and twist off the clutch nut holding the blade
down. Everything should lift off, (blade, basket, and juice bowl).

Just the opposite. The only way I get by the vibration is with an old worn blade which
I sharpen with a drill using a small bit. Installed a new blade, once, and the juicer took
off on me. Even the pro's have trouble with the vibration issue. If trouble persists, try
a pulp ejecting type.

This is the nature of your machine, it does not eject the pulp, so it will tend to
go out of balance. Stay away from soft stuff like oranges. Watched a guy on
you tube demonstrating an Omega 1000, essentially the same as Acme, and
he had a hard time with the vibration. Nothing softer than apples and try to feed
it continuously (no gaps), slowly and evenly. Good luck.

I have a 11je45 also, circa 1990. The only problem I had was replacing the cover.
The plastic covers for the newer Acme's will not fit unless you file the ridge down
where it fits into the juice bowl. Its a pain, but can be done. The other parts, like
the clutch nut, shredder blade, etc., should be the same. No supplier, I gooled,
says they have the older covers, but I know they are out there because I got one
when I ordered the newer version. They seem to be unaware they have them.

This is the nature of the juicer, it does not eject the pulp, and they go out of balance very
easily especially with a new blade installed. Only suggestion is juice only hard produce,
and feed it as evenly and as slowly as possible. I juice apples, carrots and celery.

No overhaul. These juicers do not eject the pulp and are subject to vibration especially if you
install a new blade. I've had one for 21 years and get by using a worn blade which I sharpen
with an electric drill using a small bit.

A small piece of cabbage should not stop this machine. If it did stop, look for the red reset
button on the bottom of the juicer. I've been using mine for 21 years and occasionally it will
stop when run for an extended period especially if vibration is present. In each case I waited
a few minutes and pushed in the reset button.
