grinder/juicer problems

Guest
I have gotten a food grinder/juicer for a few years. Recently, the
juice that I'm getting out of the machine has gotten coarser. I'm not
sure if it's the grinding stone that has become dull, or whether it's
time to get a replacement motor. The picture shows the motor that the
machine is using (http://imagebin.org/31524). I basically would like
some information on how to read the label so that I can find a
suitable replacement motor.

Thanks.

That's a capacitor, not a motor.

The label is for the capacitor, not the motor?

Yes. Its capacitance is 12uF.

Here's an example of a motor capacitor:

Basically, what specifications would I need to obtain in order to get
a replacement motor?
 
Have you contacted the manufacturer or importer?

Does the motor sound like it's not running at the normal speed?
With a capacitor, it means the motor is an induction motor. They
are basically single speed motors tied to the AC line frequency.sg

The motor sounds like it's not running at normal speed. I guess I can
check where I can get a replacement induction motor according to the
power specifications. Thank you all for the advice.
