Food processors of various models are firmly established in the kitchen, and many housewives can no longer do without such ingenious helpers in cooking. In the event of a fault in Bosch food processors, Moulinex, Maria, Ladomir can be 2 options: take the device to a service center (actual, if it is still under warranty) or try to make repairs with your own hands. We will consider the second option.
Design and types
To successfully use these devices in the home, it is enough to know the purpose of their main components. And here for successful repair knowledge of an internal device of equipment and the scheme of the food processor will be useful., which, usually, attached to the operating instructions of the equipment.
All combines are divided into 3 basic types:
- mini devices;
- compact products;
- multifunctional units.
The latter type includes devices, which have a combination of a meat grinder and a juicer, but the principle of operation of all types of combines is absolutely identical. Example, Mulinex company produces compact combines with a nice design and easy disassembly for washing, they have a clear interface for any housewife. The Ladomir food processor differs in attractive design, and the price is much lower, than imported imported products. Model 408 equipped with the latest technologies, which allow the hostess to cook any, the most difficult dish.
To the basic elements of any combine, regardless of the manufacturer, include:
- electric type motor;
- special device for processing various foods;
- cameras, designed for processing various ingredients;
- set of nozzles, discs and knives;
- main panel, with keys for process control;
- electrical wiring to connect all elements.
The case of such products is made of strong enough plastic, and sets of knives, disks for cutting vegetables - from stainless material, steel of a special grade.
Example, the Mriya 2M food processor is made of such materials, which are used in the design of domestic missiles, which speaks of the high quality and strength of such a product.

causes of breakdowns
The scheme of using the combine is very simple: products are laid in a certain part of the product, brought there to the desired consistency, according to the selected mode. Processes and attachments are changing, management is clear and requires no explanation - everything is intuitive. An electric motor is involved in any process, it is he who has the greatest load during the operation of the combine. Understand, that there are some problems with the universal assistant, quite simple.
- There are extraneous sounds while working - squeaking, squeak or cyclic knock.
- Inside the food processor there is an unpleasant smell of smoldering wiring.
- On attachments, cracks and chips appeared on the blades or blades of the meat grinder.
- The combine works unevenly, as before, or not in that mode, which he was given.
- At rather short work the case strongly heats up, and the unit emits sounds that are not typical for proper operation.
- The product does not turn on when you press the Start key.
In practice, you can find any breakdown of a similar unit - it does not depend on its brand or model. The mechanism is not eternal, and some of its details may later wear out, the main thing, do not miss this moment - it is easier to replace one part, than to repair the whole node. Only mechanical damage can be repaired on your own: replace the stretched belt or insert a new key, and at the same time you need to have basic knowledge, that disassembly of the unit was carried out without defects and annoying errors.
There may be minor problems with the electrical circuit and the motor: example, blown fuse, or one of the brushes was worn out. But there are also very difficult - due to heavy overloads there was a breakdown of the motor winding, collector or control board replacement required.
self-repair
Memorize or take photos when disassembling the unit, to know, what and where to fasten when assembling and how to properly connect the wiring.
The procedure is simple and is performed according to this method:
- disconnect the product from the mains;
- dismantle all removable parts;
- remove the combine body from the stand, remove the housing and determine the integrity of the belt drive or drive;
- get the engine, visually inspect, to find burns;
- manually scroll the rotor, to make sure the ease of rotation;
- remove the protection cover from the gear unit, to check the drive shaft.
All replacement parts can be purchased at stores or malls, which serve users of a particular brand of product.
The transmission torque in different combines is organized differently. So, in some products it is carried out by means of a belt drive, therefore at bad work of a product it is necessary to remove a belt, and buy a new one in a specialty store. If the transmission is using a key on the shaft (this is called a direct drive, example, such in the combine Dream 2m), and it was worn out from prolonged use, then you have to disassemble the whole unit to replace it. You can easily find the algorithm of actions for self-repair on the Internet.
