Need to replace latch arm omega juicer... - Omega 1000 Juice Extractor

Make sure it is assembled correctly and the latch arms snap shut completely
without any undue force. Also on the bottom of the juicer there should be a
reset button that might have tripped, just push it in. Other wise give Omega
a call.

Believe it can be done. You might have to file or shave the new arm a little then seat it as best
as possible and tap it in place with a screw driver and hammer. If you do manage to attach
the new arm and the fit is a little too snug when you latch down the cover, file the upper tip
of the arm for a little more tolerance. Also, believe it or not, a worn blade will produce less
vibration. There is a set screw bottom center. With the juicer fully assembled, unlock it,
turn it clockwise until feed chute contacts the shredder blade and back it off a half turn.
You now have the proper gap between the chute and blade.

They break. The latch arm is one piece, spring and all. So if any part of it is still in the
juicer it's broken. Order a pair from Omega and have them walk you through replacing
them.

Omega can walk you through it, but have a file handy because the new latch
arms are not a perfect fit for the older juicers. You might want to remove the
4 screws on the bottom to separate the base for better access. If you have
a little mechanical ability it can be done, if not it could get tense.

With some difficulty. Sometimes replacement latch arms are not an exact fit for
older models. You may have to file them down a bit so they will snap in place.
Also make sure the fit at the cover is not too snug or else the arm will break again.
Removing the 4 screws on the bottom and separating the base will give you a better
view on what has to be done.

Hello Christien,

There are no instructions. Call Omega 1 800 633 33461
for advice. Also new arms on an older juicer may not
be an exact fit so you might have to do a little filing
down on the arm to get it to fit. You can remove the
4 screws on the bottom to separate the base and get
a clearer picture of what you have to do. Basically
you have to pry the base of the arm away and push
up to remove it. If you're not handy you may need
some help cause it gets tricky.
