The motor may be binding up or the gears may be in need of lubrication. Check the internal parts and look for dark marks on moving parts. Check the power cord. Look for bare wires or material collected on the mechanical parts. Be aware of overheating can start a fire.
I know it is kind of late to answer this, but those who are looking anew for a solution to this problem might find this helpful so writing my experience. I also brought a Preethi mixie, 110V from India and in less than two uses of about 5-10min it stopped. I searched everywhere for a solution and even called service center in Chicago (yes, there is one in Chicago, IL) and finding it difficult to go there and get it repaired, I dared to open it.
I am glad I did as I noticed a connector wire (with a plastic seal/insulator) is burnt. It is a simple fix and I cleaned the burnt part and carefully exposed the wire a little bit more and connected it back to the other wire as it is supposed to and put the insulator back in its place. I started the mixer and its working now :)
I have been using it for a month now since I fixed it to make dosa batter, chutneys etc and it is still working. So I think this is the problem most of us had with mixer not working after few minutes of usage and even the overload button not working. Try this and let me know if this solved your problem. Happy Cooking!
Hi, please replace the Overload button (Circuit Breaker) with a new one. You can purchase the Overload protector (Circuit breaker) in any nearby Mixer repair or Electrical shop. Please take the old Overload protector to get the new one of same specification which suits for your Mixer.
I have the same problem with Butterfly Ivory Plus mixer in India.... The mixer went off with over load. I pressed the reset button, but still the mixer wont start. Looks like a common prob with butterfly mixers.
did u check it( i mean whether it was working) in india if not look in to the warranty period and find out what u can do.. i have bought the same mixer and i'm going to take it to finland in a couple of months.. at present in india its working fine.. and one more qn is it the first time that it's not working.. or it stopped working.. coz too much of rotating might even harmed the mixer.. remember for this mixer it should not go more than 3 min..
Cindy,if it has a screw take it out,grab a flathead screwdriver and work your way around the cap.Some mixers have been painted or just the gunk over the years make the cap hard to pull off.The push button i have never seen on a hobart mixer near the hub.Give me the serial and spec number.
There is a great guy on Gerrard street in Toronto, who can fix mixer grinders and has parts also like breaker/reset switch etc.
The store is called Appliances 220, Ph # 416-778-9908.
Hope this helps.
