i was given an older kenwood chef (500 watts). When you turn it on especially on higher speeds i gives off a burning smell. Is the motor dying or does it just need servicing after not being used for a number of years?
I have the same problem

It may be the motor but it is most likely a burnt out capacitor, these can be replaced for around £30. It is not a DIY job unless you know a qualified electrician as soldering is involved. Best to take it in for repair if you think it is worth it.
