need to test the units components switch selector motor for damage or fail

First test the switch, it it is OK then check any of the safety switches.

Sorry we do not sell parts here.

What about them?

remove the cartridge insert check for porosity in the casting around the seat area as there may be a small pin hole use a tap re-seating tool to true up the seat , then refit the insert

notify manufacturer or online search using make and model

I would take it back to the store where you purchased it. They may even let you plug it in if you ask.

It would help if you told us the brand and model.

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!

Contact service. Sounds like the oil eeal/wiper die needs replacing and this can be a pain to do.

I would suspect the brushes.

anything can be frozen..except 100 proof brandy or liquor...

Find someone with an electrical tester and they will be able to help you locate the problem.

dismantle it again and look for loose or improper install of a part

I would try to purchase one by searching eBay.com, and if necessary, if the price is right for you, purchase a replacement model of the same kind if necessary. I have to assume it is a Black and Decker model, but let us know if you can enter the model number and make information in the comments block, please. Examples using http://www.google.com and the word Power Pro HP6 https://www.ebay.com/p/Black-Decker-MX50-PowerPro-Mixer/69803368 Black Decker MX50 PowerPro Mixer

Check that there is power to the outlet by plugging something else in to test it. If the outlet is good then the mixer has an open circuit, fried motor, etc. Any of which would probably cost more to fix than buying a new one especially for safety reasons.

a couple things cause this. One is that something like dough has gotten into the socket. Clean it out with shellfish tools. Second is that the spring steel wire that fits around the socket has slipped - hopefully up. See if it can be pulled back into place with small pliers or forceps. The worst case is when the socket itself has been damaged and lost one or more "fingers" that grasp the beater. That is sadly not easily repairable.
