Has worked great for many years. Now I only get a course grind no matter where the grind adjuster is set...even at the finest grind. The grind is adjusted by turning the entire bean holding chamber. I have cleaned the burrs and the grind chamber but that didn't help.

The current Kitchenaid A9 burr grinder glass jar is interchangable with the original Hobart/Kitchenaid A9 glass jar; therefor, the gasket should also interchange - contact Kitchenaid customer service to order a gasket.
Setting the grind is accomplished by grasping the body of the ginder in one hand and the grind-selector ring (collar that the jar screws into) in the other. Hold the base tight and turn the selector ring clockwise for a finer grind, counterclockwise for coarser. Be careful not to completely unscrew the selector ring; if you are not sure how much adjustment is left, screw it all the way clockwise until it stops (finest grind); then, back it off, up to one full turn to make the grind coarser.
The selector ring has the words coarse, medium and fine cast into it; these are rough postition markers. There is a triangle cast into the body of the grinder, just above the brand name, that can be used to diral in a preferred level of grind. I use a medium-coarse grind for drip coffee makers; to do likewise, position the selector ring so that the triangle is pointing midway between the words coarse and medium.

Take out the bean chute, remove the burr from the bottom. Then cut a business card the size of the burr and use it as a spacer between the burr and bean chute. This will space you burrs closer together giving you a finer grind. If there is a squealing sound the burrs are touching and need to be back off a bit.

Hi,
I am what you would call an expert when it comes to Baratza repairs.
The problem you are describing is not an unusual one. It sounds like
the main drive gear has been stripped due to something foreign (likely
a stone) sneaking into your grinder with the beans. It would have
jammed the burrs, and because of the powerful torque from the motor,
the drive gear has been stripped so it will no longer (or rarely)
engage the burrs.
To solve this problem you will need to contact COAG Ltd (if you live in
Canada) or Baratza if you are from the US. If you machine is still
under warranty (less than a year old) this repair will be free of
charge and you shouldn't be parted from your grinder for long.
I hope this helps anyone who stumbles upon this and finds themselves with the same problem.
Kind Regards
Emily

Hi
Your grinder adjustment ring inside has its tabs broken. Contact Baratza at 877-701-2021 and they should be able to help get a new one.

You are correct, the grider positions are locked internaly so the grinder will not go too fine since this can damage the blades and also too fine need more power from motor and also can block it by rottating normaly. However you ir open the grider you can overcome the lock and udjust so the grinder can grind more fine coffee. In order to be always at the safe side just move gradualy step by step until you find the perfect grinding and adjust so that will be the minimum plus one mor move for furure adjustment if you need.
Just for reference the corect grinding is for 7 to 7.5 gr of coffee the running time of the coffee from your machine should be 25 sec for 25 cc of coffee aprox.
Good luck.
