I plug my cuisinart and it will not start. It

Put the work bowl, lid, and pusher on one piece at a time - handle of work bowl faces the front of the food processor, hollow feed tube faces the back, and the sliding lock switch on pusher sleeve faces the front. Should turn on.

If it doesn't, test the motor - remove the work bowl and other parts completely. Plug the base in and turn it on, and use a pen to push in the dark grey or black button on top of the base - if it spins, the motor is still good - you may just need a replacement part. If it doesn't make a sound, it needs to be sent in to Cuisinart for repair.

Why Cuisinart mixer will not start?

All Cuisnarts have an interlock rod built in to the bowl assembly. Make sure the bowl is positioned on the motor base correctly, and the actuator in the lid that pushes the interlock rod down is not bromen or damaged. If it is intact and working correctly, then check the switch it pushes on, or the main power switch.

Cuisinart DL 11: Cracked plastic drive shaft

If it is in warranty, it can be sent to Cuisinart for repair. If it is out-of-warranty, it will cost more than a new food processor to repair.

Won't start

Make sure it is unplugged !!! If you have a blade tool, Rotate the motor several times in direction of normal rotation. Then all clear, plug it in and see how that does. Repeat if necessary. Sometimes the brushes in the motor are seated and turning the motor helps the realignment. mAKE SURE TO UNPLUG IT!!!! Ned

Won't turn on

Removing a Cuisinart Food Processor Work Bowl
You have to remove the pusher first by twisting it off. Then press the sides of the pusher sleeve inward and slide the sleeve up and out of place. Then twist off the lid - all twisting on these food processors works either clockwise or counterlcokwise - not both. Then twist the work bowl to the left (clockwise). Voila!

My Cuisinart Class Pro 'Off' button doesn't turn off, it just keeps running. To turn it off I have to unlock the lid.

Don't switch off using the lid interlock or that will be next to go. It is to stop you from running it without the lid. Turn it off at the wall socket. Cuisinart Spares https://www.google.com/search?q=Cuisinart+Class+Pro+parts ..

The bowl on my cuisinart food processor is locked in place. How can I unlock it to remove the bowl?

You don't say what model, but all Cuisinarts have a safety interlock built in to the bowl assembly. The cover must be removed from the bowl to release this interlock before you can remove the bowl from the motor base.

Safety pin on food processor won't retract

It sounds like the safety interlock system on your Cuisinart 14 cup food processor is engaged, preventing the bowl from fitting securely onto the base. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
  1. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
  2. Use a small, pointed object such as a toothpick to gently push the white safety pin up and out of its locked position. This may take some effort.
  3. Check the base of the food processor for any obstructions or debris that may be preventing the bowl from fitting correctly. Clean any debris you find.
  4. Reinsert the bowl onto the base, ensuring that it is properly aligned and twisted into place.
  5. Press the bowl down firmly onto the base until you hear and feel it click into place.
  6. Plug the unit back in and test it to see if the safety interlock system has been disengaged and the food processor is working normally.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to take the unit to a professional repair technician or contact Cuisinart customer service for further assistance.

Cuisinart 13 cup processor blade will not spin with food in bowl

That is a sort of clutch to protect the motor. Try Cuisinart direct and be sure to include the model number, '13 cup' is just a size to all the 13 cup models they have made over the years. https://www.google.com/search?q=cuisinart+elemental+13-cup+food+processor+replacement+parts You may be able to repair those hooks with J-B Weld Liquid Metal or epoxy putty. If you can clean it well, it is extremely strong. https://www.google.com/search?q=J-B+Weld ..

My Cuisinart DLC-8S Pro Custom Food Processor needs a detachable stem.

eReplacement Parts states that is the right part. https://www.ereplacementparts.com/cuisinart-dlc8s-pro-custom-food-processor-parts-c-147322_147329_147425.html How about direct from Cuisinart Kathleen? Although strangely, they quote part DLC-839ATX-1 as the correct one. Could your processor NOT be a DLC-8S I wonder? https://www.cuisinart.com/shopping/parts-and-accessories/details/dlc-839atx-1 ..
