Yeah! My DH fixed one for a friend. You need to fiddle with the gears at the bottom, pop it apart slightly to move the teeth to a new position. He may have pushed the toothed arm up off the wheel to reset it.

Thanks, guys! I've had two customers in the past week with this problem!!!

For future reference, whenever I sell a scoop, I tell the guest that they need to try not to squeeze the handle while they are scooping. That is how mine got out of alignment in the first place. Now that I know that trick, to keep the handle slack while I am scooping stuff, it has never done it again.

HTH!

Thanks for the info - I have had 2 past hosts call just this week and then my recruiter had a call. Rachel, now maybe we know "why" it's happening.

Here is my question... would you really feel comfortable asking a customer to "repair" thier scoop?

I just did product adjustments for the ones under warranty - but I may suggest it for out of warrenty ones. I just don't think my customers would be too keen on modifying their scoop in that manner.

I know if I was a customer and a Consultant tried to explain that to me (I do like the file for my reference) - I don't think I would be too satisfied.

Am I being silly?

Just wondering...

Thanks!

As a customer, I'd much rather have my consultant walk me through a quick repair than ask me to pay $$ to send it back to HO for a replacement. Assuming it's past 30 days of ownership, that is.

Bumping this thread for new people who may not be aware...

I had a friend bring to me an out of warranty broken large scoop today (belongs to one of her co-workers who was ragging on Pampered Chef products). I told her I remembered there was a way to fix them that I had read on Chef Success and so there is. I'm going to fix her scoop and send it back to her with a new Spring Mini-catalog and one of my business cards.

What an awesome resource we all are for each other! Thanks everyone for your ideas, encouragement, sympathy, prayers, hope and love!
