The rotor on the base for the food processor will not engage. It spins freely, and the black wheel on the bottom rotates, but does not engage the blade spindle. Why?

Either the coupling from the motor with the fingers on it is not really attached to the motor shaft or the drive on the blade that engages with it is not attached to the blade shaft. One other thing is that on some models if the rubber jar seal between the beaker and the blade carrier is in the wrong place it can raise the blade drive to not engaging properly with the motor coupling. The gasket goes between the jar and the blade carrier, not under the blade carrier.

Good evening
it is difficult to take the bottom things from each other. The blenders I know are screwed to each other,
all the best

Blade carrier

might be the start switch in the motor and or a capacitor. it should turn fairly freely by hand, if not it could be a bad bearing/bushing.

please use the WD-40 for to loose and Ready.go www.40company.com


God bless you

read your owner manual section troubleshooting. However you must test the control board fro defective, but test the main switch for defective use the multimeter for continuity and replace it
God bless you

Check the blade with it off the base and make sure that it spins freely. Check the spindle on the base and see if it feels hard to turn. If the spindle turns too easy , then the connection inside the base is broken and needs replacing.

First, do a motor test by removing the work bowl completely and using a pen to press in the grey button on top of the base (with the food processor plugged in and turned on of course), toward the back. If the processor spins, the motor is still good. At that point, I would inspect the work bowl pieces, lid, pusher assembly, etc for cracks/damage. If all appears well, insert ALL the pieces back into place and try again. For the DFP-14, remember: handle faces front, feed tube faces back, and metal element on back of pusher faces back of processor. Connect the pieces separately - if you try to put the work bowl on with the lid and pusher already attached, it will not always lock properly. If even one piece is out of place, the processor will not spin.

If it no longer spins, the motor has a problem.

Good luck!
