Cuisinart Food Processors Where to find parts
Comments (10)It's usual that in a quality product what breaks is a part that is possibly simple, for the right person, to repair. If it's a part made of steel it can be brazed for $20 at a friendly shop. Do you know what part(s) you need? I would look at craigslist, nationally this way to see if anyone would consider repairing it. Then see if they'll do it under an 'ebay' advert. That way you have some recourse if they take your money. Go to gooogle and type: site:craigslist.org cuisinart repair try variations like this: site:craigslist.org "cuisinart repair" site:craigslist.org cuisinart -"for sale" site:craigslist.org quality small OR kitchen appliance repair Those should keep you busy. Write a note that's' the same to each one like boilerplate saying what you said here: If anyone replies then post the reply here and ask them if they want 'more work' from your connections to a national web site. If yes then you have a 'winner' for round one. Let us know how it goes. Repairs was a thing of the past.. our generation is learning that it's the trend of the future. You and your machine are in the middle and I'll try to help - Andre...See MorePSA: Cuisinart food processor recall (4-rivet blades)
Comments (42)Just ordered my replacement blade a few minutes ago as my processor has been in storage for the past year! I was told that it would be 2-4 months before the replacement blade arrives!...See MoreRepair Motor of Cuisinart Food Processor DFP 14 Cup TX
Comments (8)A FP like that mostly uses a direct drive "squirrel cage" induction motor. A motor like that is a very simple electrical device. It has magnetic field coils driving a center non-electrical rotor. And the coils are connected to switches and other contacts.. If the coils get burnt out from overloading, you will for sure smell it. Still, if you have an ohm meter, you can quickly check continuity. The components which can go wrong are mostly the switches, which can easily be checked with an ohm meter. Replacing switches can be inexpensive. If the motor's coil is burnt, it cannot be repaired. The whole motor will need to be replaced, which may cost more than buying a new FP. I suspect the problem might be a rusty switch or contacts, and not the motor. dcarch...See MoreHelp with CUISINART 11 Food Processor?
Comments (17)Thanks again for all the good suggestions and support. So many good points. I will get the new blade. (I can be a superb procrastinator). I looked at the blade last night and felt it as well. Photos included. It looks pretty good for being 35 + years old. I tend to wash things like this by hand and never put my cooking knives in the dishwasher, even if protected. That electric DW detergent is extremely harsh. I wonder how much that might contribute to the rivets and blade wear responsible for the recall. (Two dissimilar metals egged on by DW detergent?) The blade was “sharp” but in a micro-ragged sort of way because of burring. The rivets and blade look good. I’m not going to sharpen it, but will just remove the burrs with a small rounded diamond hone. Along the lines articulated by dcarch, a food processor gets used for fine chopping, but also sometimes chunking/macerating tough material. The latter could chip a sharp blade. carolb — like you, I also have a manual grinder. I have a few grinders I’ve picked up over the years. I like useful gadgets. I considered using one, but was low on energy and thought I could quickly chunk-blend the raw chicken parts, soupy liver, guts, neck, that I wasn’t keen on having drip, leak and splatter. And because the yuk-stuff was a few days old, I wanted to keep it contained (the critter likes old stuff, will eat carrion). My chicky stuff was only two days from the store, but I consider raw chicken filthy. I was too tired to pre-treat it with my large $15 yard sale cleaver (splatter) and didn’t want to go outdoors to a tree stump chopping block in the cold sog. The Cuisinart FP is easy to clean with hot soapy water and bleach. No intricate parts. So, being tired and a tad lazy, I was too smart by half. So yep, inattentive operator, rarely used gadget, tough chunks in liquid, a bit too much volume. Haz-Mat cleanup required anyway ;-0 Maybe I’ll make baba ganoush (sp) in the FP to help erase my memory of the splatter debacle....See More- 7 years ago
