New Kenwood chef km 001 - I can't get the beaters out!

We are FIXYA dot com, we aren't Kenwood Chef, we aren't who you think we are.

There can be two reasons for a Kenwood Chef to run but not turn the beaters. The most likely one is that the Drive belt has broken.

Or

You have strained the beaters and you have sheared the shear pin in the drive shaft. It is there to save you damaging the motor and gearbox.

..

Not sure how to change the switch but some knobs are retained by a small grub-screw or a spring clip and it is sometimes worthwhile checking the switch shaft is actually being turned by the knob.

I have read on other posts that it is the nut at the top of the beater that is causing the problem. You need to rotate it downwards toward the beater in order to have sufficient room to push and rotate the beater out. This didn't work for me, nor did attempting to remove the whole plate by undoing the lug beside the beater insert. Now that I have worn the lug and the nut I cannot get it repaired at a Kenwood service specialist as I have attempted the repair myself.
My advice is to go straight to a professional. Whatever they charge it will be cheaper than being stuck with a machine you can only use some of the time and have to replace!

yes go to kenwood web site look for dealers who still support a701 mixers.

Here's how to fix the stuck implement problem:

The implements each have adjustable heights. to adjust the height you need to loosen the bolt at the top with a 14mm spanner. If the bolt was loose when it was being used then it can get too short and not leave enough clearance between the bolt and the machine in order to push up and turn to release the implement. If this happens take the open ended spanner, grasp the implement and rotate the spanner clockwise (when looking up at the machine from below. Once the nut is loose rotate the implement until there is enough clearance to remove it normally.

I couldn't remove the K-Beater as when I tried to turn it the whole mechanism turned with it. I couldn't even remove the splashguard! I was going to take it to the Kenwood factory (a few miles from home) but then I thought I'd give it one more go and this is what I did...

1. Next to where the K-Beater attaches in the middle of the circular plate is a lug with a pointed-shape bolt on the end. Remove this with a spanner and the beater plus gear cog can be removed.
   
2. Place some mole grips or wide pliers on a worktop and sit the cogged gear in to it and grip so that it won't turn.
3. Now you should be able to remove the K-Beater!

Perhaps someone can suggest how to stop it happening again. I haven't attached anything since but will update this post if I have any other helpful tips.

It is most likely a burnt out capacitor. They can be replaced for about £30, but it is not a DIY job unless you know a qualified electrician, there is soldering involved!
