Thermomix TM5: Dial jumps when selecting speed temp etc

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 10:52:40 -0700

I have one of these, it is working fine Except for the dial. Selecting an adequate temperature or time is kind of a minigame. For one dial step sometimes goes back and forth, sometimes does the right thing or sometimes makes a big bump. I was bearing with it because it was just an annoyance, but has been three onions that I only wanted "chopped" and I ended with them utterly pulped because the dial decided it.

I guess I only need to clean contacts, but before try to tear it I was hopping if someone here has some experience, If it is an easy task or if does not worth it.

Food Processor: Fix for wrong voltage used

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 10:19:40 -0700

I have a food processor that was connected to a transformer (to convert AC from 220V to 110V) since it was being used in Spain and one day it stopped working. I want to buy a replacement part but not sure which one to get since I'm not sure how all of these things work... does anyone have any ideas on which part from the image attached would need to be replaced? (if it can be replaced at all). It would be much appreciated!!

Hey,

The make is KitchenAid and the model number is KFP0711WH. There is no indication that there is power unfortunately. It was plugged into a transformer when it stopped working.

I appreciate your help!

Thermomix TM5: Thermomix TM 5 Error C 39

Sat, 19 Nov 2022 09:46:55 -0700

My Thermomix TM 5 is displaying an error c39 and only has the option to shutdown. This occurs when i attempt to start the chopping cycle. Once selecting the speed the arms lock the bowl and the panel displays error c39 and informs you that the unit will shutdown. The user only has the option to click OK on the touch panel and the unit proceeds to shutdown with the arms locked on to the bowl. Can anyone shed some light on this and how i could look into repairing this. Thanks in advance.

Cuisinart DFP-14BCN: Why do the blades spin much slower than they used to?

Sat, 22 Oct 2016 19:28:33 -0700

The blades on my food processor are spinning much slower than they used to when I press the on or pulse button. Sometimes, the blades barely spin but the machine makes a humming noise. Is there a way I can get the blades to have more power again?

Braun multipractic: How to remove on/off switch Braun K600

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 18:01:10 -0700

Hello,

I have a Braun K600 Food Professor. It has an on/off knob. Through the centre of this knob is a pulse button.

The rubber membrane the prevents dirt going into the gap around the button has come off the knob. I am sure it will pop back on if I could take the knob off however, I can’t see how to do it. I’ve tried pulling it off, but it seems to firmly on for it to be a friction fit.

Food Processor: Smell of the motor is like toy race cars

Fri, 02 Jul 2021 12:47:10 -0700

My son bought an old GE Food Processor for $5

It's an old GE D1-FP1B1B. Seems to be in good condition. He bought it for making laundry detergent.

So here's my question. It smells like the old race cars we played with as kids when it runs. Does anyone remember that smell? It was normal for those cars. They ran on a slotted track which is where they received their power. I believe it was the oil or maybe the brushes, but it was normal for those toy cars. I wonder if this is normal for this food processor, as well.

I have worked on a lot of electronics and this is NOT a normal burning motor smell or an electronics burning smell; however, the motors I always dealt with were large, not kitchenware stuff, so I have never smelled this outside of the old little race cars.

I know what burning wires, resistors, capacitors, diodes and motor windings smell like. This is not one of those smells.

Thanks for reading

Food Processor: Which glue will work best to repair plastic dome lid locking part?

Food Processor model: kfp600bu

Dome lid part number: 4176263

My wife's 18 year old KitchenAid food processor dome lid had the piece that locks into the handle break off. The lid has been discontinued and a replacement part is not available. I have the part and can glue it back on, but I need to know the plastic material so I can choose the right glue to handle the stress of mating with the handle over and over again.

Where can I go to learn what material the lid is made from?
