Gene Café - motor gear - CRA75-016A

What is the Gene Café motor gear?

The Gene Café motor gear, part number CRA75-016A, is a replacement part for Gene Café coffee roasters. The plastic gear sits on the drive motor shaft and passes the motion on to the roasting chamber, keeping it turning evenly throughout the roast.

It is a small part with a big job. Once it wears down or splits, the drive slips and the roasting chamber no longer turns properly. The gear is supplied as a single piece and is made in South Korea.

Who is this part for?

This motor gear is for anyone who services their own Gene Café coffee roaster or needs to swap out a worn component. The part in question carries part number CRA75-016A.

Typical situations

• The roasting chamber turns unevenly, or stops altogether while the motor keeps running.
• You hear a rattling or ticking noise coming from the drive.
• The existing gear is visibly cracked, worn or spinning freely on the shaft.
• You simply want a spare on the shelf.

How do you fit the motor gear?

Switch the roaster off, unplug it at the mains and let the machine cool down completely before you start.

1. Switch off the roaster, unplug it and allow it to cool.
2. Remove the side panel so that the drive motor is accessible.
3. Pull the old gear off the motor shaft.
4. Press the new CRA75-016A gear straight onto the shaft until it is seated firmly.
5. Refit the side panel and test the roaster.

The gear is a tight fit on the shaft, so press it on squarely and evenly. If in doubt, check the manual for your Gene Café roaster or get in touch with our customer service team.
