My Panasonic Juice extractor MJ66PRA is starting to emit a mild burning smell. I try to give it plenty of breaks in the juicing process. I have never oiled the appliance. Could this be the problem and where do I apply the oil?

This is a vintage machine and no manual exists. The closest I can find is the MJ-66. There is further confusion because they have a MP3 player with the same model number SJ MJ-15!
if it is intermediate workings there is a micro switch that is a must so it wont turn on when your fingers are in it might have some junk in it clean your machine. look if the micro switch fell inside machine ?
disassemble clean and assemble paying attention to condition
noise from bearings going out/screeching ???
noise from unbalanced load/ lots of vibration??
noise from scraping/grinding/metal on plastic ??
noise from scraping/grinding/plastic on plastic ??
there any burning smell also ??
is any part getting warm ( turn upside down to check ) ( hold or place on thick layer of kitchen towels
be aware if it is old ~ 20 yrs give or take 20 yrs getting a new juicer will be less hassle than trying to repair
Try washing the white parts of the juicer with lemon juice. That worked very well for me. There is a faint tint that remains, but not the orange coating.
As soon as I had described the problem I found the solution. A smear of olive oil around the inside of the base of the cutter, and around the seating of it, on the unit. And it worked. No problem.
