Need to replace mains cable. No obvious release mechanism for existing lead.
I used the shank of a 2mm drill pushed in about 18mm, and easily pulled out the plug. Required a firm push but no damage. I suspect that a 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) drill shank would be easier, but 2mm works.
Having done it the hard way (!) it is dead easy. All you need is a small screwdriver or similar, approx 2mm by 1mm in cross section. Looking from outside the mixer, where the power lead enters the main body, between the rectangular lead casing and the socket it enters, there is a small rectangular cutout (top right). Push your screwdriver in around 15mm, and then withdraw the lead housing with it - the screwdriver pushes the latch aside, hence you need to remove both as one! With luck, and a wiggle or two, that should be it.
Thanks for these instructions, but I still managed to break it. The ideal tool would be a 2x1,5mm rectangular rod pushed in 15-19mm. Otherwise a screwdriver and try to push the screwdriver tip to the centre of the plug (horizontal plane) to push the 11mm long black plastic arm out of the way of the solid lug on the plug. Image to help. What a terrible design
