When those things are not used for a while the blade assembly at bottom of mixing bowl freezes up. You need to unstick it with a flat blade screw driver in the sprocket. Once you loosen it the motor will work fine and the high speed will complete the cleaning job on the rusty part.
This is a most unusual case, under the circumstances I would contact KitchenAid for a solution, have you tried turning canister clockwise and anticlockwise, should unlock in "anticlockwise position" if no luck contact the manufacture.
There is an air port near the adjustment knob. Open for a more blue flame and close for a yellow flame. If these haven't been moved before, you probably have a clogged jet at the burner. Just clean it out with a pin.
Sounds like motor is burned out. Very few parts left for that model, nothing electrical. That model is no longer listed on their support site http://brevilleusasupport.com/
This problem sounds like failure of the Variable Speed Potentiometer component. Here is the most helpful Fixya article so far: http://www.fixya.com/support/t6032529-need_replace_speed_control I have the same problem right now and don't want to pay ridiculously high prices for a small electronic component. So far, this is as far as I've gotten in researching replacement parts:Vitamix Part #015955 Partstown sells #15955 for $23.39 on their website but I found out they charge $15 for shipping -- for a one-ounce piece of electronics. I won't pay to be ripped off on shipping so I won't buy one from Partstown until I've exhausted less-expensive suppliers. Here is the product at Partstown: http://www.partstown.com/vita_mix/vm15955
Another Fixya contributor, Robert Sadler, said he was going to try a generic potentiometer from Mouser.com. His descriptions are kind of vague for me. I'm not an electronics expert so I'm not very confident I can interperet his description:
"If you are comfortable with soldering, you can get a replacement part at Mouser.com. The pot is a 5k "slimline" made by Bourns, however looking inside the cover it looks like most pots would fit. I ordered one for a bit over $5 and will update when I get it with how it worked. You would just have to solder the existing wires to it." -Robert Sadler
I have no problem soldering the existing wires onto a new component but I don't really know what would be an appropriate potentiometer to buy as a replacement from an electronics supplier. In addition, Mouser's website seems to sell potentiometers only in bulk quantities of 5, 6, 12, or 45 items at a time. I just want one.
If anyone knows how to interpret Robert Sadler's comments, or has actually done this repair, please post below. I'm sure quite a few people would benefit from a high-quality repair at a low component cost.
Place food processor attachment on base
Put work bowl on gear collar with left slot just to the left of the tab on left side, slide until tabs click
Place work bowl lid on top of workbowl with tabs slightly to left of work bowl handle - slide into place until it clicks
