Mazzer Mini Broken Spring?

Grinders are one of the keys to exceptional espresso. Discuss them here.

Suddenly, my several year old mazzer mini does not have any tension that "springs" the dose lever back into place (at the rear position) after pulling it forward to dose ground coffee.

Anyone know the problem and have advice on how to fix? I feel it must be a broken spring of some sort, but I really don't know.

Many thanks.

It's possible the doser handle return spring (click to see photo) has slipped. Remove the two Allen screws securing the bottom of the doser:

And then refer to Mazzer doser lever doesn't return as needed.

Worked great, although it took a while to get the spring into the right position. Many thanks again.
