Could not remove multi- purpose blade from the shaft of our KitchenAid food processor. KA suggests unlocking the bowl and lifting on the bowl. Did not work and may have resulted in a cracked bowl. My solution was to wrap a cord tightly around the stem of the blade and to knot it on two sides forming a cord handle. I was able to pull the blade off the drive shaft. The inside of the blade appeared to have a layer of plastic that had fused the blade to the motor drive shaft. Seems to be working properly now. I suspect the problem occurred because the blade was not pressed all the way down onto the shaft.
The blade will be stuck on the shaft and both will be damaged and require replacement. With that knowledge you now understand that drilling a hole sideways through the blade cap isn't wrecking anything you are going to use again. You can then get something into the hole for leverage. Here in NZ blades are under $20 and motor shaft sleeve is about $5. If you don't replace the parts it will happen again.

This sounds like an issue relating with the assembly of the machine. The motor is definitely getting power if the indicator is lit. However, Kitchenaid food processors are designed (as a safety feature) to remain unengaged if the unit is not assembled in such a way. Here is the proper assembly:
Please disassemble the unit. This means: removing the blade, removing the work bowl, the work bowl cover, and unplugging the unit.
Starting with the work bowl: place the handle at the 9 o'clock position, which is out to the left. Rotate downward to the 6 o'clock position until it locks in, centered over the button panel.
Repeat the process with the work bowl lid.
Depending on which food processor you have, you may need the feed tube pusher depressed at least half way down the feed tube.
Plug in the unit. The blade does not have be installed for unit it to work at this point, assuming everything is assembled properly and the motor is functioning. The motor should now be working.

Dough is normally water soluble. Try soaking it in water for a several days up to a week. Then try prying it loose.
