I love my roaster! My rubber blade cushion separated after years of use and I could not find my spare. Rather than buying new cushions, I chose to replace the chamber separator as it comes with a new cushion. I thought I was good to go for a while, but the cushion only lasted about 4-5 roasts before separating… :-(
Rubber deteriorates over time and becomes brittle in the high heat environment, I would think this part would be made of silicone so it would last longer.
I think I will try a small piece of silicone tubing to see how it lasts before buying more rubber bumpers….
This part could be improved!

Great refresh

Arrived quickly, fit perfectly.

Extremely fast shipping. Exactly what I needed, and it arrived almost prior to me ordering it. (at least it seems that way when I was expecting a couple weeks for it to arrive but it arrived in just a few days!)

Hardest part was removing the old part. Darn near broke the whole chamber in the process.

After 10 years the original chaff sweeper was worn down and not clearing chaff effectively. This new separator is the same high quality material as the original and snapped right into place. Problem solved!

Getting the old one out was the hardest part, as it was well seated. I used a flathead screwdriver to gently pry up alternately on the two top opening surface tabs. The metal is very sturdy and the old one gradually came loose.

The sales process was seamless. The prices are very reasonable. I'm pleased to be able to buy and install every part of my Gene Cafe roaster, keeping it running for many years.
