Won't turn on

Make sure you have the bowl, lid and sometimes the pusher assembled correctly. If everything is not correct it will not activate the safety switch to allow it to start up.

Hi, if it is the motor, (sounds like) then yes it is expensive to fix. You may be better off getting a refurbished one. :-)

Hi, first and most importantly.... do NOT put your hand in there, set it up, switch it on, hopefully the blade will rotate.. then stop it and check if the blade will come loose on its own. This happened to me, and thats what worked. I had to do it a few times though, good luck!

Read the handbook and make certain you are assembling the bowl, lid and pusher correctly, they can all play a part in activating the safety mechanisms that put the appliance in the mode that will allow it to be started.

It is most likely the way the bowl and lid are set.

Facing the machine:
the bowl locks in, with the handle to your right directly above the switches. The lid has a double tab...see underside of the top of the lid. Place the lid on tightly with both tabs locked into bowls handle. It really clicks in.

Make sure the bowl is locked in properly. That is the normal problem.

Same thing happened to me! Placed a piece of provolone in the feeder, as Wolfgang shows on TSC, and pressed to shred. It turned about 3 times and poof! a flash occurred and the processor died. I believe there is a problem with the wiring due to overload (surprising since it was a small piece). If that's the case, whatever electronics are in this machine are probably fried. I have not brought it to a repair center because the estimate and repair will probably cost more than the machine itself. I also have the rice cooker and it is fantastic! I guess I just got a lemon.

hello,

the problem is from the connection i.e power connection
that supply electrical force on your processor

this means that there have been a power fail on the propeller ,

what you need to do tofix up this problem is to unscrew the processor then trace the wire down to the propeller you will fine the disconnected wire from the propeller then fix back to the propeller unit but if there is no sign of disconnection from the connection then it means that the wire are weak ,

it will need to be replace with a better one which you can get in the store.please note before you can do this assignment you will have to put off all source of power supply to your processor

thank you.

cannot release bowl, tried turning to release won`t turn!

Motor start capacitor has failed.
