Hi
I would suspect that the burrs have never touched. There has to be some coffee grounds in the threads that is preventing the burr assembly form going in any farther. Remove the burr assembly and check the threads inside the chamber. If there is any black coffee residue it has to be removed. It sometimes has to be chipped out of the threads. We used a dental probe to remove it. Then a tooth brush. When reassembling the burr assembly turn all the way in until you see the acorn nut in the center rotate. STOP. Back the assembly back until the nut stops rotating. That is ZERO. You can install the bean hopper with the zero facing the mark. You can also move the assembly a little counter clockwise, but not clockwise, to line up the screw holes. Make sure that you have the hopper stop in place before tigntening you screw down. Then turn the bean hopper to 7 and test.

The motor has shorted out in the grinder, cheaper to replace.

Left hand threads.

sounds like a broken shear pin..

Search online for "Kitchenaid 8204548" that's the parts list. It should take you to a Sears page with the parts you need.

The part number for the Acorn Nut is 9707016.

This is a set screw. You need to take this out.
You can access this to either clean the burr
grinding wheel. Maybe this needs changed.
If you google the Kitchenaid A-9 Burr grinder you can get instructions to download on this machine.

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.
