Used 230V current instead of 110V and burnt

It sounds like you may have accidentally inserted the feed tube into your kitchen aid food processor upside down. If the feed tube is stuck and won't come out, there are a few steps you can try to remove it:

First, try gently pulling on the feed tube to see if it comes out. Be careful not to apply too much force, as this could damage the food processor or the feed tube. If the feed tube is still stuck, try turning the food processor upside down and gently shaking it to see if the feed tube falls out. If the feed tube is still stuck, you may need to use a tool to help remove it. A pair of pliers or a pair of needle-nose pliers can be helpful in this situation. Carefully grip the feed tube with the pliers and gently pull it out. If none of these methods work, it may be necessary to disassemble the food processor to remove the feed tube. This should only be done as a last resort, as it can be challenging to reassemble the food processor correctly. If you are not comfortable with this, it may be best to seek the assistance of a professional.

If your Magimix food processor won't turn on despite the handle clicking in, there may be a problem with the power supply or the motor of the device. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check that the power cord is securely plugged into an outlet and the processor's base.
2. Make sure the outlet is working by plugging in another device.
3. If the outlet is fine, then try plugging the Magimix into a different outlet.
4. If the device still doesn't turn on, it's possible that the motor has overheated. Allow the device to cool down for a few hours and try turning it on again.
5. If none of these steps work, you may need to contact the manufacturer or a repair technician for further assistance.

It's also worth noting that the Magimix 3200XL comes with a 30-year motor guarantee, so if the motor is the problem and the device is still under warranty, you may be eligible for a replacement.

Carefully take it apart and clean it thoroughly. If you see any burnt wires, trying replacing those if you know how to replace one. As for the plastic gear on the power base, it can be easily replaced with any ordinary similar coupler of the same size, for example like the one KitchenAid supplies (Blending coupler 9704230). The only catch here is that you need to replace the coupler on the base of your choppers as well. This would be a better idea considering getting rid of the cheap plastic used in these blenders and the need for long-term use.

All the adapter did was enable you to put 240VAC straight into your 110/120VAC coffee maker. You needed a step down transformer to drop the voltage from 240 to 120 VAC. This is not what you wanted to hear but you have damaged your coffee maker substantially by using the wrong voltage. Also the US version is designed for 60 HZ power vs AU 50 Hz power unless stated otherwise on the input power data plate.



Damage that has probably taken place:

1. Motor PN 8211837

2. Relay and Switch assembly PN: 8212011. .

3. Capacitor PN 8211608

Cost to repair... will be close to total replacement value due to shipping costs & customs of replacement parts

Without step-down transformers you are out of luck. I am sorry. I know the transformers are ugly but they are cheaper than replacing your food processor and espresso machine. One thing you could do is to contact Kitchen Aid and ask them if the motor can be wired for 240V. If not, ask them if you can purchase the 240V motor for your processor and replace it directly. As for the espresso machine, no idea...sorry.

If you already have a lot of attachments for this model, I would purchase a used motor unit. I got a complete setup at a yard sale minus the work bowl cover for $3 as a spare, and often see them at thrift stores priced quite inexpensively. You could also check ebay. Motor units routinely go for less than $25 including shipping. I'm pretty sure most dcl-8 series motors will work with you bowl and attachments. I like the quality of the older units better than the newer ones. And if you watch ebay closely, you can pick up a lot of pieces really cheaply. Good Luck,

When you are trying to chop things in the magic bullet make sure that you use short pulsing movements, don't just hold it down. This will make things go mushy instead.

This is the advice they give on their website:

You may be over processing your food by letting your Magic Bullet slip into Lock On Mode (see video demonstration of Lock On Mode) when you should be using the Pulse Technique (see video demonstration of the Pulsing Technique). Please read the Pulse Technique instructions on page 15 of the user manual or follow the steps shown in these video demonstrations and you'll be making perfect chopped onion, salsa and all your favorite textured foods in no time.

I solved the problem by contacting the retailer i bought it from who promptly gave me the 'missing' blade from one of his other 4200XL units. He said it must have been accidentally packed at the manufacturers without it.
Happy Customer now :)

The transformer can be found at a good wholesale electronics store, it is 12 volt and will register slightly higher with ohm meter. You can also use a 220 to 24 volt transformer.
