Introduction
Sometimes, the plug or cord attached to the Krups F203 coffee grinder is defective. This guide will tell you how to replace the cord.
What you need
-
-
In each of the four rectangular slots on the bottom of the device, there is an E-shaped clip.

Wedge the spudger between the flat side of the E-clip and the outside wall of the slot. Then, loosen up the clip by prying it inward with the spudger.
Hello I need to remove the base as described here to repair th power cord in side. I got 2 of the clips cleared to lift off the base using the spudger, but just can’t get the other 2 released. Any ideas? Thanks
The red warning above is good as far as it goes, but should mention that not breaking the clips may be impossible. I was able to unclip 3 of the 4, but one snapped (the others were quite a struggle). Part of my problem was that this How-To’s photos show an F203 with all of its clips broken off, which makes for a misleading view of the disassembly, and shows that the author wasn’t able to separate the base successfully, either. The clips actually project from the bottom edge of the body tube about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) into the base cap. I would recommend anyone attempting this iFixit have a roll of duct tape on hand to secure the base after the repairs are made, at least until you can buy a replacement.
Krups really don’t want you getting into their budget grinder; they’d rather you throw it away and buy a new one, of course.
Thanks to the author, even if the instructions are not very clear.
If anyone got this open without breaking the clips, please post a photo of the two parts in the clip region so that the geometry is clear. I was confused by ‘e-clip’, which is not the right terminology and means something else entirely.’
I broke all of the clips. Even after realizing the clip ledge is integral to the *inner* wall of the base. I still could not get the clips to release without jeopardy to the the outside edge of the base’s slots. One has to be able to proceed with conviction and with the right “spudger”.
I’m going to reconnect the base with epoxy and clamps. I’ll buy a new one in 15 years when the power cord breaks/wears again…!
I managed to pry it off without breaking clips. 1. clamp the grinder top between thighs upside down. 2. apply pulling force to the bottom with finger nails (but not too hard to hurt yourself obviously). 3.spudger prying the clip multiple times. When a tiny gap appears jam a triangle prying tip into it. 4. Proceed prying every other clip while keep applying pulling force all the while with finger nail.
Of course with a big vise this is supposedly easier.

Work your way around the four clips, loosening each a little at a time. Eventually, all four clips will be loose enough to remove the base plate.
Instead of taking the cover off, I heated the tip of a metal hanger and melted the small rectangular hole just larger enough to get a screwdriver in to give the screw a quick turn looser and then tighter again. It is now working again.

The trigger button is held in with light tension clips. Gently pry them back to release.

Use the soldering iron to remove the existing solder.
