Most likely, the problem is the safety switch at the top, where the lid latches in to, or, the nib on the lid could be broken, chipped or worn away.

MOTOR WILL NOT TURN ON

You have to open 3 screws on top and 4 screws on the bottom. 5 other screws from the inner bottom. Slide the rotor out from the top and unscrew the small blue switches. These switches burn and get stuck together by heat. If you can loosen them then it will still work. Clean all parts when reassembling. If it doesn't work buy parts from here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002YEJYSO/ref=sc_pgp__m_A1KB97A5SK5WKE_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1KB97A5SK5WKE&n=&s=&v=glance

How to use breville fp21 food processor

Make sure the jug is sitting correctly on the base and operating the safety switch. If it is sitting in place and doesn't go it's an internal electrical fault. Some models do require you to have both blender and processor bowls in place to operate but i am not completely sure with your model as there is very little information available online for it.

Hamilton beach food processor won't turn on

DYI fix job on mine. DIsassembles base and switch assembly. Added a rectangular piece of plastic just above litlle balck trigger switch. Taped switch casing's side (not my plastic piece) so that my plastic piece would not fallout. Re-assembled. Voil?. Problem was that travel length of whole trigger mechanism was a bit too short to trigger the switch. With the added plastic piece, travel was extended a little to make the whole thing work, but not so much so that it would always unsafely stay ON when plugged. Tried various other gluing options on other pieces before that, but nothing would hold.

Cannot remove food container from Sunbeam Oskar Foor Processor 14081. It is new, but I have lost the manual.

Although it doesn't say the right number on the cover, From what Ive come across online this is the manual for your food processor.

I have used my 10 cup processor one time and now when I turn it on , you hear the motor but the blade doesn't turn

With the machine UNPLUGGED disassemble and check to see if the drive mechanism is engaged. Could be as simple as a loose screw in the coupling assembly. I no longer have my unit.. I tossed it in the trash and sent Sears a nasty letter.

It won't go on. Nothing, no noise at all. Does not work

Can you check the safety switches. There are usualy a couple of spots that will cut off power to machine if the bowl is not installed properly. One is at the bottom usually a pin type of setup that tells it the bowl is installed and then a lock on topto make sure the top is on properly. Check to make sure A it is installed properly B thatnone of thos pins have cracked therefor not doing it's job properly

Bravetti EP 199

I had the same problem. I noticed that the bowl has to be on and locked in for anything to work. THE MAIN issue though is that the piece from the lid slides in to turn an actuator. well it doesn't turn it far enough to engage it. so all you have to do is add something to the turning actuator to give it that extra 5 degrees to turn on. This is not an official fix. Just a quick fix. I will be leaving it there forever. So the problem is not power or anything electrical. it is the mechanical turning of that piece that is the culprit.1_15_2012_4_55_38_pm.jpg1_15_2012_4_56_01_pm.jpg1_15_2012_4_58_09_pm.jpg
