Hi all,
Got hold of a mint condition Kenwood Food Mixer KM270. Seems to be very well made. Quite heavy and feels really solid.
However, it was dead. Moving the Power Slider from 0 to 1 (and others), Nothing. Not a click, nothing!
I was hoping there would have been an internal 'over heat' fuse or something. But there appears to be no internal fuse
So my easy thought fix hasn't arisen
I have checked the power (rear photo), the Red and Blue connections and they read 240v when I move the power slider forward, no clicks, nothing, (they read zero volts when the power slide is on '0'). So moving the power slider to 1 - 10 provides power to the rear board.
Inside looks immaculate. No burning smells. No components (that I can see), are discoloured, the terminals on the motor look clean. The cooling fan rotates (by hand), with no resistance/clicking.
Just seems a real shame to throw it away.
I'm not sure where else to start measuring...
EDIT: Had to rejoin imgur so that I can 'share' the pics properly...
