There should be a small lever on the base in front of and below the bowl. It will move to 2 positions. It sounds like you have it set for the small bowl but are using the large bowl. Press down on the lever and move it to the other side. If I'm right, that should correct the problem.

SOURCE: hobart a200 will run just fine without anything in

Short answer: something is worn/broken inside the mixer's transmission.

Longer answer:

Since none of the three gears operate, the problem is most likely on either the worm gear shaft (probably the brass worm gear itself) or the "transmission shaft" (ironic name as all three shafts could be called transmission shafts). If you're up to the task of disassembling the transmission, which is a very messy task, you'd probably find the problem on one of the two smaller shafts inside the transmission. You'll most likely find either a broken key or worn brass worm gear. Both of these items may have enough holding strength to operate under very light loads (such as an empty bowl) but slip once a load is presented.
Also check the planetary key. Remove the planetary by removing two nuts on the underside of the transmission, where the attachments attach (careful, as the whole thing will drop once the second, thin nut is removed). You will find a long key on the shaft (or in the planetary gear, whichever one it sticks to). Make sure it's not broken, and re-attach the planetary.

My kenwood multipro 910 food processor not working

Check the power supply: Ensure that the food processor is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet. Sometimes, a loose connection or a tripped circuit breaker can cause power issues.

Safety interlock system: The Kenwood Multipro 910 food processor usually has a safety interlock system that ensures all parts are properly assembled before it can start. Check if all the components, such as the bowl, lid, and blade, are correctly locked into place. If any of the parts are not properly assembled, the food processor may not work.

Motor overload protection: If you have been using the food processor for an extended period or with heavy ingredients, the motor may have overheated and triggered the overload protection mechanism. In this case, you will need to allow the motor to cool down for some time before it can restart.

Fuse or circuit breaker: Some food processors have a built-in fuse or circuit breaker that protects the motor from electrical surges. Check if your food processor has a fuse and ensure that it is intact. If it has a circuit breaker, reset it if necessary.

Mechanical issues: If none of the above steps resolve the problem, there might be a mechanical issue with the food processor. It could be a faulty motor, broken wiring, or a malfunctioning switch. In such cases, it is advisable to contact the Kenwood customer support or take the appliance to an authorized service center for repair.

Kenwood chef keeps curdling eggs

Put water in Kenwood and a bowl inside the Kenwood to hold eggs. Eggs need to be done SLOWLY. Can also add a LITTLE water to aggs as they cook to slow down curdling . Basically you need to turn Kenwood into a double boiler. Lift bowl with eggs in and out of Kenwood to control temperature and whisk away now under control. Lift bowl and cool and slow down cooking and lower back in water and Kenwood to hear back up. Keep whisking and lift and lower bowl as needed. Some melted butter doesn't hurt either!

My Professional HD Kitchen Aid doesn't mix all of the ingriedienc

One thing many KitchenAid mixer owners complain about is that it's difficult to scrape the bowl while the mixer is running. Because the beater rotates around the inside of the bowl, and because the beater doesn't actually touch the bowl, you have to stop the mixer frequently to scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Two companies have come up with fixes for that problem -- the BeaterBlade+ and the SideSwipe.

They are available for most KA mixers. Cook's Magazine tested both in January 2009 and liked the SideSwipe a tad more than the BeaterBlade because they thought it performed a little better on a particularly heavy cookie dough, but one reviewer on another forum commented that dough tends to bunch up on the SideSwipe's inner parts.

In any case, I have the BeaterBlade+, mainly because it was available from Amazon for $30, no tax, free shipping, and I didn't feel like driving around to find the other.

Both are made of very strong plastic and have silicone scrapers on the edges of the blades. The scrapers do touch the bowl and thus provide a constant scraping of the ingredients, assuring that everything gets mixed in. I've found that I rarely have to stop the mixer, except to make sure that the ingredients that cling to the beater itself are mixed in.

Does anyone know the model number of a stainless steel bowl to fit the Kenwood Chef KM300/

The model number doesn't really exist other than the fact that the stainless steel bowl is available for just about every Chef made. My own KM300 has a stainless steel bowl for example that came as standard - it however is the same bowl you can order from Kenwood or EBay under the A701/A901 model - all bowls from Kenwood can be fitted on the Chef model with the exception of the Major model which is a larger and taller machine.

Kenwood Chef A701A Motor - not running

I know this may sound stupid, but check that you have the earth wire from the mains connector, athinish black wire connected to the terminal on the mixer. My Kenwood would not run after i made a capacitor repar. The motor just "Buzzed" until i put the thin black earth strap back onto the casing.
I sincerely hope this helps,

Incomplete mixing

You need to raise the bowl just a little less than the thickness of the layer presently being left behind. Too much and the beaters will touch the bowl .
