Why won't my food processor work? It is assembled correctly and it is still not working

The blade off the shaft or on it will not prevent the processor from starting. The safety interlocks are on the bowl, lid and pusher so look there for the problem.

Afraid careful dissasembly the only way. And check if blade is bent of course. Good luck.

Power in the USA is 115 VAC not 240 VAC. The motor probably blew out the thermal fuse . This fuse looks like a small silver colored cylinder connected to the power cord inside the base of the processor.

Maybe the bowl is not properly activating the safety switch.

Take the bowl off, turn it on in the centre at the front where the base of the handle would normally be there is a light coloured button/plastic piece. Push it in with a matchstick. If the motor now starts then you have a problem with the safety switching mechanism in either the bowl or the lid. It is more often the lid. The only solution is to replace the faulty part. Easiest is go to a service agent and buy whichever part solves the problem.

Probably going to require a new 3 button switch panel, they are not hard to fit.

First, do a motor test by removing the work bowl completely and using a pen to press in the grey button on top of the base (with the food processor plugged in and turned on of course), toward the back. If the processor spins, the motor is still good. At that point, I would inspect the work bowl pieces, lid, pusher assembly, etc for cracks/damage. If all appears well, insert ALL the pieces back into place and try again. For the DFP-14, remember: handle faces front, feed tube faces back, and metal element on back of pusher faces back of processor. Connect the pieces separately - if you try to put the work bowl on with the lid and pusher already attached, it will not always lock properly. If even one piece is out of place, the processor will not spin.

If it no longer spins, the motor has a problem.

Good luck!

The gasket goes between the cutting assembly and the glass. So you slip it on over the top of the blades and then put the glass jar over top of that. Screw the bottom cap on to tighten everything together.
