I need replacement seals. Seals that prevent liquid leaking from 6 cup container around the spine that passes through the cup and mounts on top of the T-fal machine. If seals alone are not available I will need the complete sub-set that passes through the 6 cup container and mounts on top of the spine sticking up from the T-fal machine.

It is a QVC / Amazon special 11 years old and made in China with no support.

You could try QVC, but it is very old.

The switch that senses the container is mounted in.

Yes. It's the basic physics of all liquids.

Perhaps a blender might be a more suitable tool?

Generally you would use the food processor for mixing/blending/chopping all the dry ingredients (and maybe the butter if you are making something like cookies).

Separately mix all the really wet ingredients together in a mixing bowl/large measuring cup.

Then combine the dry ingredients from the food processor with the wet ingredients in a mixing bowl (you can fold the dry into the wet if you used a bowl to mix the wet ingredients together. If you used a measuring cup for the wet, then it's usually better to put the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl first, making a depressed area in the center, and then add the wet into the dry.)

It sounds as if the seal is leaking where the blades go through the container.

it is either the seal around the blade shaft that is worn (but if it is worn so much that liquids can leak, then you probably heard the machine vibrate more than normal or sound screechy). Or it is the gasket at the bottom of the container that is not seated well or is out of shape. Goodluck, Macgivor

check with marbeck.com. I am almost sure the cuicannart parts they sell will fit this model under model DLC_7

I have had these apart. The leak is from a seal around the motor shaft. By the time it is leaking the shaft has pitted to the point a new seal will not repair it. Getting it apart can result in damaged parts as it is sealed together with very tight tolerances and a glue like sealer.
