In detail: DIY repair of the mriya food processor from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
Today, the food processor from Bosch and many other manufacturers has become almost indispensable devices in the kitchen. There are various modifications of these units that allow you to perform various tasks, and you will not make any special efforts. For some housewives, they have become very important, and any breakdown in the system becomes a serious problem. In this article we will tell you about the device and how to repair food processors with your own hands.
The device consists of separate elements of the mechanism, the most basic elements are as follows:
Electrical engine;
receiver of processing products;
camera for processing ingredients;
sets of nozzles and knives;
the main control panel of the harvester;
electrical wiring connecting the main elements.
The body material for combines is usually made of plastic. However, all other parts, such as attachments, knives and other elements, are made of stainless steel, as it is durable, and it is on the inner parts of the device that the greatest load is placed.
Combines are divided into several types:
The last type of combines are those in which, for example, there is a combination of a meat grinder and a juicer. However, despite their different functional features, they all have the same operating principle.
After loading the products into the working chamber of the combine, they are brought to the desired state according to the given program. Processes can be changed by replacing nozzles with them and giving the device the necessary commands. The attachments are driven by an electric motor. It's easy enough to understand that your food processor needs urgent attention:

new sound effects that the device has not previously emitted, for example - creaks, knocks, rattles and others like them;
you feel that an unpleasant smell of burning wiring comes from the car;
cracks and chips have formed on the nozzles;
the unit starts to work at an uneven pace, or it works in the wrong mode according to a given program;
the device does not want to activate and start working.
As for the torque transmission part, in some combines, a belt transmission is used to transmit torque to the main working bodies. When the device starts to perform poorly, it is possible that it is time to replace the worn out belt. There is also a keyed transmission of torsional forces, in this case the key may wear out, which will also lead to the inoperability of the combine.
There are many options for malfunctions of combines, perhaps some of its internal elements may fail, if one part fails, the whole mechanism may break. Also, not rivers are cases when problems arise in the wiring of the unit itself, when a short circuit occurs.
Sooner or later, any owners will have to do it on their own repair your food processor. Before disassembling the food processor, make sure it is still under warranty after purchase. If there is one, then it is best to take the unit to a service center so that they provide the necessary service and return the combine to its working capacity.
But as happens in most cases, breakdowns occur after the end of the warranty period, here it is already worth trying to disassemble and make food processor repairBosch, before you go and take it in for repair, where you will be charged a lot of money for repairs.
First of all, we disassemble the food processor, but remember well what was removed and unscrewed from where, since you will have to assemble the unit back. All actions boil down to the following:
turn off the device from the mains and dismantle all removable parts;
remove the combine itself and make sure the integrity of the belt and drive gears;
remove the above items, and take out the engine. Inspect it for integrity and performance;
Remove the protective cover from the gearbox and check the drive shaft for signs of defects.
In case you have a different model, you can easily find videos and detailed instructions on the Internet.
When you are going to buy a replacement for some part, be sure to take the original ones, since third-party ones simply will not be able to calmly fit into the groove. You can purchase such items in special service centers, or order them via the Internet.
It is best to process finely chopped foods, and avoid frozen vegetables, meats, and other items. It is also not recommended to crush solid ingredients;
As soon as you feel an unpleasant smell coming from the combine, immediately turn it off in order to avoid a short circuit and prevent a breakdown;
After you have finished the work, it is necessary to thoroughly rinse those elements of the combine that took part in the processing of products. Dry all parts thoroughly before reuse;
In no case use attachments that have defects, this can harm the harvester itself;
After the warranty period has expired, it is best to regularly (at least once or twice a year) carry out preventive maintenance on the combine. Disassemble it and lubricate the necessary parts of the mechanism, as well as replace the worn parts of the device in advance, if they are found during disassembly, in order to avoid malfunctions in the future.
We have told you the main ways to make repair of food processors, and how best to avoid unpleasant situations with a breakdown of this device. In case of difficulties, it is recommended to contact the craftsmen who will find the malfunction and make high-quality and correct repairs.
Food processors of various models have firmly established themselves in the kitchen, and many housewives can no longer do without such inventive helpers in cooking. In the event of malfunctions in Bosch, Moulinex, Maria, Ladomir food processors, there can be 2 options: take the device to a service center (relevant if it is still under warranty) or try to repair it yourself. We will consider the second option.
To successfully use these devices in everyday life, it is enough to know the purpose of their main components. But for a successful repair, knowledge of the internal structure of the equipment and the diagram of the food processor, which, as a rule, are attached to the instructions for operating the equipment, will come in handy.
All harvesters are divided into 3 main types:
mini devices;
compact products;
units of a multifunctional type.
The latter type includes devices in which there is a combination of a meat grinder with a juicer, but the principle of operation for all types of combines is completely identical. For example, the Moulinex company produces compact combines with a nice design and simple disassembly for washing, they have an interface that is understandable for any housewife. The Ladomir food processor has an attractive design, and the price is much lower than that of imported similar products. Model 408 is equipped with the latest technologies that allow the hostess to prepare any, the most complex dish.
TO the main elements of any combine, regardless of the manufacturer, include:
electric type motor;
special device for processing various food products;
cameras designed to process various ingredients;
a set of nozzles, discs and knives;
main panel, with keys for managing processes;
electrical wiring for connecting all elements.
The body of such products is made of rather durable plastic, and sets of knives, discs for cutting vegetables are made of stainless steel, a special grade of steel.
For example, the Mriya 2M food processor is made of materials that are used in the construction of domestic missiles, which indicates the high quality and strength of such a product.
The scheme of using the combine is very simple: the products are put into a certain part of the product, brought there to the desired consistency, according to the selected mode. Processes and attachments change, the controls are clear and self-explanatory - everything is intuitive. An electric motor is involved in any process; it is on it that the greatest load falls during the operation of the combine. It is quite easy to understand that some kind of malfunction is happening with the universal assistant.
Have appeared extraneous sounds during operation - creaking, grinding or cyclic knocking.
From inside the food processor comes bad smell smoldering electrical wiring.
Meat grinder attachments, discs or knives appear cracks and chips.
Combine harvester works unevenly, as before, or not in the mode that was assigned to it.
For very short work the case gets very hot, and the unit emits sounds atypical for correct operation.
The product does not turn on when you press the start key.
In practice, you can find any breakdown of a similar unit - it does not depend on its brand or model. The mechanism is not eternal, and some of its parts may wear out over time, the main thing is not to miss this moment - it is easier to replace one part than to repair the entire unit. Only mechanical damage can be eliminated on your own: replace a stretched belt or insert a new key, and even then you need to have some basic knowledge so that the unit can be disassembled without flaws and annoying errors.
V electrical circuit and engine there may be minor malfunctions: for example, a fuse has blown, or one of the brushes is worn out. But there are also very complex ones - due to strong overloads, a breakdown of the motor winding occurred, a collector or control board must be replaced.
During the dismantling of the unit, remember or take pictures in order to know what and where to screw it during assembly and how to correctly make the wiring connections.
The order of work is simple and is performed according to the following method:
disconnect the product from the electrical network;
dismantle all removable parts;
remove the harvester body from the stand, remove the body and find out the integrity of the belt drive or drive;
take out the engine, visually inspect to find burning;
turn the rotor by hand to make sure it rotates easily;
remove the protection cover from the gearbox to check the drive shaft.
All replacement parts can be purchased from stores or centers that serve users of a particular brand of product.
The transmission moment in different combines is organized in different ways. So, in some products, it is carried out using belt drive, therefore, in case of poor performance of the product, it is necessary to remove the belt and purchase a new one in a specialized store. If the transmission takes place using a key on the shaft (this is called direct drive, for example, this is the case for the Mriya 2m combine), and it has worn out from prolonged operation, you will have to disassemble the entire unit to replace it. You can easily find the algorithm of actions for self-repair on the Internet.
