Last night I was pulsing some cookies for the bottom of a cheesecake when suddenly my Cuisinart foodprocessor quit working. When I push a button the light comes on, but further nothing niks nada. I tested it by removing the bowl and pressing the security button with scissors, but that didn't change anything. So I was wondering, do these have a built in safety switch or a fuse when they get overheated? (It would surprise me when it was overheated, it was a small batch of cookies and I didn't pulse very long but one never knows).
Does anyone know what could be the problem?

I've tripped the thermal protection system on my Cuisinart (purchased around 2009 if I recall correctly) while kneading several consecutive batches of bread dough. However, the motor smelled very warm when it tripped and the system reset itself once things cooled off.
The only other failure I've had is when small plastic parts of the interlocking system between the lid/bowl and base broke.
Your electrical outlet hasn't failed, has it? |

Talked on the phone to someone from the import company. He had a few tricks, but none of them worked. He thought it was probably the start motor. Because this is a model NLA they don't stock parts for it. Parts can be ordered from the USA but it is expensive, so basically he told me it was not worth the trouble. I could get a partly refund when I purchase a new Cuisinart, but because I don't have a receipt, that's not an option. The repair cafe might be worth trying, but if they can't repair it, it's curtains for the Cuisinart. Next time I'll focus on Magimix, parts for those are wider available here. For the time being I have enough kitchen appliances to do the tasks I need to have done in the kitchen.

Sorry, Louis. It is a shame. Are you going to do an autopsy (take it apart)? |
