My Oster 3212 food processor will not turn on.

Keep one hand on the top of the food chopper. And turn the blender on using the medium speed on continuous or fast pulse settings

Oster has not made a manual for your specific model available online. The User Guide for the Oster 3320 3-Cup Chopper with With Attachment, which appears similar to your model may be of assistance. This User Guide may be downloaded here.

The top bowl is broken on our modell 3322-033. Maybe we could make one that actually works.

I have an Oster Kitchen Center by sunbeam. It has the mixer, blender and food processor. When I attach the processor to try to use it the blades do not spin. If I push the siler know down with an objest it will turn. Am I missing some little piece to make it work.

Oster is a good brand. Unplug it and try to turn thhe motor by han using an attachment. Or, tap the unit with a run button depredded. Here is why. Sometimes new brushes on a motor have a coating on the conrtact surface. It is vry thin and it is not permitting a good electrical contact. If you can't turn the motor, slap it a couple of times with it on. Once it starts, let it run for 2 or3 minutes and you troubles are over once the brushesseat and clean up. Good luck and remember to unplug when hands are on or near the attachments.

Hi,

Your PowerBlend Duet™ comes with a food processor button. This button is the perfect speed for all your food processing tasks. Always use this speed when using the food processor. You may also use the Pulse button with this function for pulse-chopping.
To use your food processor, make sure that the bowl is assembled properly and the blade or slicing/shredding disc and the cover are locked into place.
When you use the control panel, the LED will light next to each button you press.
Press the On button. For continuous operation, press the Food Processor button. Motor will start if you have followed assembly instructions.
To turn motor off, press the Food Processor button again or the Off button.
For on/off operation, called pulse-chopping or pulsing, press the On button, press the Pulse button, and then press and release the
Food Processor button the desired number of times. Motor runs as long as you hold the Food Processor button down. The motor stops when you release control switch. Try it a few times.
You control the duration and frequency of pulses by the length of time you hold the Food Processor button down and the rate at which you press it. Pulses should be short bursts. Allow enough time between pulses to let food in work bowl fall to bottom.
Always use the Food Processor button for pulse/chopping. Never turn cover back and forth to start and stop processor.

I contacted the manufacturer and bought the bowl. This is frustrating as I had contacted their authorized service center and was told the bowl was unavailable.
