KitchenAid Troubleshoot Your Food Processor: Solutions for Common Issues

•If your Food Processor should fail to operate, check the following:

–Make sure the work bowl and work bowl cover are properly locked on the base, and the large food pusher is inserted to the maximum fill line on the feed tube (approximately halfway down).

–See if the Food Processor is plugged into a proper electrical outlet If it is, unplug the Food Processor, then plug it into the same outlet again.

Models KFPM770 & KFPM773

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Models KFPW760 & KFPW763

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not use an extension cord.

Doing so can result in death or fire.

–If the Food Processor still does not work, check the fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical circuit the Food Processor is connected to and make sure the circuit is closed.

•If your Food Processor should fail to slice, shred, or cut when using the disc:

–Make sure the raised-blade side of the disc is positioned face up on the disc stem. The disc has a raised nub on the top and grooves underneath to help align it properly.

• If your Food Processor lid won’t close when using the disc:

–Make sure the disc is installed correctly, with the raised nub on top, and is positioned properly on the disc stem.

• If the Food Processor shuts off while it is running:

–The Food Processor may be overheated. If the motor exceeds a certain temperature, it will automatically shut off to prevent damage. This should be an extremely rare occurrence. If it happens, press the OFF Button and wait 15 minutes for the Food Processor to cool before resuming. If the Food Processor still refuses to run, wait an additional 15 minutes for the Food Processor to cool.

• If you have difficulty removing the

food pusher from the feed tube:

–Food particles are probably lodged in the interlock system. To free the pusher, soak the work bowl cover in warm water or wash it in a dishwasher.

If the problem cannot be corrected with the steps in this section, see the KitchenAid Warranty and Service section on pages 23-26. Do not return the Food Processor to the retailer – they do not provide service.
