The electric assistant today is very popular and in high demand among Russian buyers. Despite high-quality manufacturing and high reliability in operation, electrical appliances tend to break down over time. Many breakdowns can be fixed at home, so we will tell you in detail about the repair of an electric meat grinder, which you can easily do with your own hands.

It doesn't matter what kind of meat grinder you have - Kenwood, Zelmer or Moulinex, each of them has its own nuances, but the faults are pretty typical for all. Electric meat grinder repair specialists have compiled the following register of the main problems encountered in these products:

  • violation of various contacts of the electrical circuit;
  • deformation of the engine rotor;
  • breakage of the teeth of the gears of the reducer - arises from the increased load;
  • malfunctions of the electric motor, extreme wear of the brushes;
  • wear of the cutting tool due to the processing of too stringy meat, the ingress of small bones due to the user's oversight;
  • breakage of keys, safety devices;
  • damage to insulation, power cord;
  • replacing the motor or rewinding its windings.

Many failures of reliable technology are due to violations of operating conditions and only a few - a factory defect or a human factor during assembly.

If any malfunction occurs, it is necessary to immediately carry out diagnostics in order to find out the cause and localize the breakdown. Inspection of the mechanical part of the product is carried out visually, and the electrical circuits are checked with special devices. If a visual inspection of all parts of the mechanical part did not give a positive result, then you need to dismantle the product and inspect the gearbox, electric motor. May have happened clogged lubricant rubbing parts, the bearings do not work correctly, they need to be replaced.

Timely diagnostics allows you to identify and eliminate malfunctions at an early stage of their development, which significantly extends the life of the entire product.

Let's consider in detail the malfunctions of the meat grinder and methods of their correction.

  1. The engine does not reach the set speed - the reason may be broken switch or the engine itself. Replace worn mechanisms or an electric motor.
  2. Interruptions observed in the drive - extreme wear of graphite brushes, you need to install new ones.

  • Extraneous sounds, burning smell during product operation - defective engine... To restore it, you need diagnostics, repair or complete replacement. However, the cost of replacing the engine is quite high - it would be more cost effective to purchase a new grinder and solve the problem.
  • The reason for the appearance of sounds unusual for the normal operation of the meat grinder may be bearingsthat wear out during operation. To confirm the diagnosis, it is necessary to disassemble the main body of the product, get to the place of their installation and check the rotation, if necessary, replace it.

  • Reducing the speed of the electric motor - overload, the food is fed too fast, the meat grinder does not have time to grind them. The Kenwood mg model is particularly susceptible to this malfunction. Reduce the feed dosage and everything is normalized.
  • No shaft rotation - the transmission mechanism of the reducer is seized... Perhaps one of the gears or its teeth is broken and needs to be replaced.

  • The product auger has stopped. If at the same time the engine is operating in the same mode, then turn off the meat grinder and dismantle its mechanical part in order to find out the reason.
  • In the latter case, there are several reasons for the occurrence of such an unusual failure: incorrect assembly of the gearbox, cranking of the motor shaft, breakage of the drive gear teeth, and very rarely licking of the connection by the auger shaft (erasure of the hexagon).

    On a note! The non-conformity of the metal of the part leads to its breakage during the ultimate load.

    If the hexagonal receiver, where the auger shaft is inserted, is made by mistake of a softer metal, then during operation it quickly expands, or its edges wear off, the tight contact will be broken... The same can happen with the auger tip. It is difficult to repair a meat grinder with such problems with your own hands; the help of professional repairmen of similar equipment is required.

    In order for the electric meat grinder to delight you with flawless work for a long time, you must follow simple recommendations for proper operation:

    • before starting work, always carefully check if the assembly is correct and reliable fixation of all parts;
    • pay special attention to the contact between the cutting tool and the grate - they must fit snugly, the fixing nut must be tightened with effort;
    • cut the product into piecesnot exceeding the diameter of the loading cylinder, in order to avoid them getting stuck;

  • disassemble, clean and rinse all parts and the internal volume of the meat grinder after each use;
  • keep all parts of the mechanical part of the product only disassembled.
  • Special attention! Before processing meat and fish, it is necessary to free them from bones, remove large veins, make sure that small bones that can damage the knives do not get inside the product.

    Do not turn on the meat grinder without loading, do not try to push through the stuck pieces of food with your hands - there is a special pusher for this, never overload it. If you thoroughly fulfill all the requirements, then the product will work flawlessly for the entire period assigned to it by the manufacturer, and she will not need repairs with her own hands.
