Repair of Kenwood FP481 Food Processor

This is a follow up to previous post

Thanks to need a part, I got the spare parts I needed to repair the food processor. The price was enough to make me wince! : Upper drive belt $19.95, Upper cog $18.95, P&P $7, (+ Hand Blender geared lid $19.95).  But a combination of bloodymindedness and marginally OK economics meant I went ahead with this anyway.

Out with the old and in with the new.

The drive belt is a direct replacement, but the toothed pulley is made for a shaft with 2 flats on it.

Old pulley used nut to stop it spinning.

The new pulley lacks the square nut cage, so I can't just drill it out for the round shaft.  I'll grind the shaft down instead.

Success!

Now lets see if I can remember how this all goes back together.

Reattach the motor to the top plate

Attach the interlock mechanism

And the interlock circuit board

Then reattach the on/off/speed/pulse switch.

Done!

The final step is to put the bottom of the case back on and I'm back in business.

Success!
