How to Fix a Blocked Mechanism in the Fritsch Mill

The mechanism that allows the Fritsch to switch between sample pots can get blocked. This is usually caused by dust, and easy to fix. Cleaning the inner part of the Fritsch on a regular basis will prevent a blocked mechanism from happening. Please follow the instructions below to solve the problem, and contact the SoilCares service desk if cleaning was not sufficient to solve the problem.
