The machine (Major A707A) worked fine last week, this week it would not switch on when I turn the switch/speed dial. At first a slight tap was enough, then a stronger whack, now nothing will start it.

I would take a swag at it and guess that the speed control has a variable capacitor consisting of a circular plate and wiper. The plate is a series of contact points that switch the speed control into the circuit. You are missing some of the contact points in the middle of the switching cycle or the wiper is not making contact at that part. You would have to replace the speed control part, but finding the part would not be easy and repairing it was not anticipated due to obsolete thinking on the design of the product.
Hi. I've checked the Kenwood Service website and from what it looks like, A720 mincer is only suitable for A701, A701A, A702, and for Major models A707, A707A, A717.
The mincer specified for the KM800 (from it's owners manual) is the
A950.
Have recently inherited an old Kenwood Major A707A with same problem, contacted local electrical repair man, experienced with Kenwood mixers. He is fitting a new clutch, will cost about £30. I think its worth it. Anyone out there know where I can get Instruction Manual ?
Many thanks. It is probably too far to supply though - I am in the UK, but thanks a lot for the pointer. Makes a lot of sense.
