Do-it-yourself repair of food processors Mulinex, Philips (Philips), Kenwood, Mriya: instructions, photo and video lessons, price

How can you repair Mulinex food processors or other models and brands? This is a serious question, because any household appliance is a complex electrical and sometimes electronic device. Here you cannot do without certain knowledge. Therefore, experts advise not to tempt fate, and give the food processor into the hands of a master.

We will begin our article with the fact that this household appliance performs a fairly wide range of work that is so necessary in the kitchen. This is the primary assistant to our hostesses, so when suddenly something happens to him, they remain without hands. This knocks them out and ruts, which is reflected not only in their mood, but also in our dinner, which will certainly not be prepared on time.

Food processor Mriya 2m - repair and maintenance

It would seem that the harvester is like a mixer. But it should be noted that it is more powerful and performs much more functions, plus the price is much higher.

With it you can:

• Cut food into slices or cubes;
• Make a cut;
• Prepare minced meat;
• Convert food to a liquid state (porridge).

Household appliance with spare parts

I would like to add that the food processor has a small but very powerful electric motor. And in terms of its functions, it replaces not only a mixer, but also a blender.

Types of food processors

Currently, manufacturing companies offer two main types, which differ from each other in the way that rotational motion is transmitted from the motor to the working body.

1. Direct drive, where the working body is a continuation of the rotor of the electric motor.
2. Belt driven. Here, the rotational movement is transmitted using a special (usually V-shaped) belt.

Rotary motion transmission scheme

The second type of combine design is very different from the first. In it, the bowl, where the working body is located, and the motor are located side by side in a vertical plane. By means of pulleys, a belt and gears, the rotational movement is transmitted from the motor to the working body.

What to do if the combine does not work

So, you turned on the device, and it began to hum or simply does not work. Your actions? Many men who consider themselves to be home craftsmen will immediately begin to disassemble it and find out what is wrong and where. Should I do it?

Of course, the best option is to entrust the repair of the Mulinex, Philips or Kenwood food processor to specialists. They will quickly diagnose, find the problem and fix it, giving you a guarantee. But in this whole business there are some points that relate to problems, so to speak, small and simple, which you can fix at home with your own hands. No instruction is needed here, the main thing is to correctly identify the breakdown and fix it (read also See the article "Bosch Food Processor Repair - Breakdown Causes and Repair Highlights").

Mechanical problems

Very often, the rotation of the working body is absent only for one reason - the belt broke (if combine with a belt drive) or the key on the rotor shaft has been cut off (if the combine has a straight drive unit). In the first case, it is easiest to deal with the breakdown. You need to go to the service center, do not forget to take the torn belt with you, show it to the craftsmen and buy exactly the same one here in the center.

Attention! Very often, the device works intermittently. This is a consequence of a poorly tensioned belt. You will have to tighten it up a bit or replace it with a new one.

There is more fuss with the key.

• First, you will have to completely disassemble the combine, that is, remove the motor and determine the location of the cut.
• Secondly, the cut key will need to be dismantled. Sometimes this is a lot of hassle. But here it is important not to overdo it, so as not to bend the rotor of the electric motor. Everything needs to be done without a hammer.
• Thirdly, you will again need to visit the service center to buy a new key there.
• Fourth, put everything in its place, that is, assemble the food processor.

Electrical problems

There are comical situations when a household appliance is taken to a workshop, and the problem is quite simple. For example, a fuse has blown, which will take a few seconds to replace on your own. Therefore, before deciding whether to repair the Mriya food processor from the master or to do everything yourself, just see if the fuse has blown.

The second question concerns the connection cord. It burns out at least. Over time, the insulation braid becomes rigid and brittle under the influence of heat and electric current. It is good if the wire burns out inside the braid, and if a short circuit occurs.

Useful Tips

• Once a year, it is necessary to carry out preventive maintenance by lubricating rotating parts with a special substance.
• To prevent the appliance bowl from leaking, there is a need to tighten its fasteners.
• If it becomes necessary to replace one of the units (motor, belt or gear), then only spare parts from the manufacturer are selected. It is not worth taking analogs, this will affect the quality of work and long-term operation.
• If the breakage touches the gear, then first of all it is necessary to clean it (use a simple toothbrush). If the wear is small, then you can limit yourself to lubrication. If it is large, then it will have to be replaced.

Food processor gear

All other breakdowns, and this is the replacement of a worn shaft or broken bearings, is difficult to do at home. To do this, you need not only a special tool, but also several devices that you may not have (find out also, how to choose the right TV for the kitchen).

Conclusion on the topic

As you can see, in order to repair a Philips food processor or absolutely any other with your own hands, you need some knowledge. And here, as practice shows, not everything can be done. Very often, kitchen electrical appliances reach the workshop disassembled. This is an attempt to get things done on their own.

But not everything and not everyone succeeds. Therefore, videos and photos will help you. Watch and learn (read also about the main points of choosing an electric oven for the kitchen).
