SOURCE: my kitchenaid processor is not working

The Kitchenaid food processors have a few safety features implimented. If the unit is not assembled properly, this may prevent the unit from turning on. I am thinking this is an issue of assembly because the light is on, so the unit is definitely getting power.

Proper assembly is below:

If it isn't all ready, please disassemble the entire unit. This means removing the blade and/or disc, blade, removing work bowl, work bowl lid, and blade.

Start by placing the work bowl onto the motor base. The work bowl handle should be facing at 9 o'clock, which is out to your left. Rotate the handle downward until it locks in at the 6 o'clock position, which will lock over the center of the button panel.

Repeat the process with the work bowl lid. The blade does not need to be present for the motor to engage, if this is an assembly issue.

SOURCE: I have a kitchenaid food processor and the bowl is

Items required:
-dishwasher
-detergent
-lemonade or other citric liquid
-poochy
-skillz

Step 1:
gently position poochy around tube in center of bowl. Fill halfway with lemonade or other citric liquid.

Step 2: Put lid of processor on and put entire unit in dishwasher. Turn on power scrub cycle.
The dishwashing cycle will help the citric acid to activate the poochy.

Step 3: Use skillz to wriggle the bowl off the processor. Empty out poochy remains.
Congratulations! YOU'VE GOT SKILLZ!

SOURCE: My kitchenaid food processor won't work

Does the actuator push down far enough to catch the button at the bottom? I repaired one simply by adding a vinyl screw cover to the top of the button so it was tall enough to be reached by the actuator.

I've a KitchenAid Artisan 4L Food Processor. Closing the lid of the bowl does not activate the motor. I can surpress the black mechanism with a knife and then the motor runs. Please help?

The problem will be either the lid or the bowl, both have mechanisms in them that wear/break. Take the processor into a service agent that carries the parts along with your clean bowl and lid. It will be a simple matter for them to try one or the other to see which one makes the difference. I am a service agent and that's what I do, it's far the easiest way to quickly find the problem.

How can I get kitchen aid blade out that is stuck

The blade will be stuck on the shaft and both will be damaged and require replacement. With that knowledge you now understand that drilling a hole sideways through the blade cap isn't wrecking anything you are going to use again. You can then get something into the hole for leverage. Here in NZ blades are under $20 and motor shaft sleeve is about $5. If you don't replace the parts it will happen again.

Cannot turn the lid on to kitchenaid food processor

It sounds like you need a new working bowl. It is not uncommon for that safety switch mechanism to fail inside the handle.

How to tighten the nut on one of motor screws of a 7 cup kitchenaid kfp720 food processor

A gouge in the edge of a plastic button is not the end of the world, it has to come out to effect a repair. I use a sharp knife down the side, you can always blend any little damages to the plastic with the round shaft of a screwdriver.

My disc stem is stuck and will not come out.

Without careful use and care, there is a possibility that the disc stem can become fused with the motor shaft. If excess pressure is being applied to the slicing or shredding disc, this can cause immense friction and cause the plastic disc stem to "weld" onto the motor base itself.

I would suggest calling Kitchenaid Customer Service to see what options are available.

Their toll-free number is: 1-800-541-6390.
