Testing the Food Processor

The service technician will have to test the performance of the food processor to identify and diagnose the problem.
Normal electrical testing techniques, using a volt/ohm meter, are sufficient to test the food processor electrical
components.
NOTE: Refer to the PROBLEM GUIDE in this manual while performing any test.

Review any documentation accompanying the faulty food processor.

Perform a ground continuity test and a hi-pot test prior to plugging the food processor into an electrical outlet.

Prior to disassembling the food processor, plug it into an electrical outlet and perform a function test. Test the
switches, speed selections, etc. for proper operation and to troubleshoot for the problem.

If the unit does not run when plugged in, make sure that the work bowl and lid are properly installed and that the
pusher is in place. Proper installation of the work bowl, lid and pusher are essential for the safety switch interlock
system to function. The work bowl interlock can be verified by assembly of the bowl, lid and pusher while off of the
base unit.
