My Cuisinart food processor won't start!

My Cuisinart food processor won't start (it's the stainless steel 12 or 14 cup version)! It was a gift less than a year ago and ran fine, then all of a sudden it won't turn on at all. It doesn't make any noise, nothing turns... help! I checked the fuse on the outlet I was using, and can't find any reset button on the bottom or back of it to check that as well.....

Make sure work bowl handle is locked in so that the handle is facing the front of the processor, and that the feed tube and metal rod of the pusher are facing the back of the processor. If it is assembled in this way and still won't turn on, call Cuisinart for assistance, as you may have concelaed damage to one of the work bowl parts. 1-800-726-0190

Sounds like the Motor's Start Capacitor needs replacing. It gives the motor a big jolt of power to get it running.

Cuisinart Food Processor (14 cup capacity) won't turn off. Plug in and it is on.

For cuisinart food processors that won't shut off: with bowl off - not attached - hold OFF button down while plugging in. With a screwdriver or other implement, press the button that gets depressed on motor base when bowl is attached and snapped into place ( small flat rectangular piece that clicks the bowl into place. While still pressing OFF button, press this a few times times, unplug then release the OFF button. I tried several suggested combinations of button pushing and unplugging, and this seems to have fixed it!

Cuisinart DLC- 8M

Those older Cuisinart food processors have motors that generally last forever. But a replacement bowl can cost $118.00 or more. The newer processors like the DLC-8S do have a 3-year general warranty and a 5-year motor warranty. The new DLC-2011, 2007, 2014 series etc. have 10-year motor warranties. I like the collect the oldies, but the new ones have few problems even though they are made in China. If an old processor's plastic breaks, you have to buy a completely new bowl set - if a new processor's plastic breaks, then you can buy a single component piece to solve the problem. Hope this helps.
