Hi Ana,

First, I would remove the knife and the knife holder and clean everything from even the smallest debris.
After it is all spotless, I would put it together, make sure all screws are tight and try it again. More likely this will solve the problem.

Second - look carefully at the knife holder. We have had a problem with a notched knife holder that had to be polished patiently with fine sand paper for metal (on flat surface) until we removed the damage/notch from it and got it to be very smooth again.

Hope this helps
