Food processors of various models are firmly established in the kitchen, and many housewives can no longer do without such inventive cooking assistants. If malfunctions occur in food processors Bosch, Moulinex, Maria, Ladomir, there may be 2 options: take the device to a service center (actual if it is still under warranty) or try repairing it yourself. We will consider the second option.
Construction and types
To successfully use these devices in everyday life, it is enough to know the purpose of their main components. But for the successful repair useful knowledge of the internal structure of the device and a food processor, which, as a rule, is attached to the instruction manual equipment.
All combines are divided into 3 main types:
- mini devices;
- compact products;
- units of 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 of all types of combines is completely identical. For example, the company Mlinex 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 similar imported products. Model 408 is equipped with the latest technology that allows the hostess to cook any, the most difficult dish.
TO basic elements of any combineRegardless of the manufacturer, include:
- electric type engine;
- special device for the processing of various foods;
- chambers designed to handle 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 fairly durable plastic, and sets of knives, vegetable slicing discs are made of stainless steel, and have become a special grade.
For example, the Mriya 2M food processor is made of such materials that are used in the construction of domestic rockets, which indicates the high quality and strength of such a product.
Causes of breakdowns
The scheme of use of the combine is very simple: the products are laid in a certain part of the product, they are brought to the desired consistency, according to the selected mode. The processes and nozzles are changing, the control is clear and does not require an explanation - everything is intuitive. The electric motor participates in any process; it is the largest load during the operation of the combine. It’s pretty easy to understand that there are some problems with the Universal Assistant.

In practice, you can find any damage to a similar unit - it does not depend on its brand or model. The mechanism is not eternal, and some of its parts can wear out over time, the main thing is not to miss this moment - it is easier to replace one part than repair the entire assembly. You can only repair mechanical damage yourself: replace a stretched belt or insert a new key, and even then you need to have basic knowledge so that the unit can be disassembled without flaws and annoying errors.
AT electrical circuit and engine there may be minor problems: for example, a fuse blown, or one of the brushes worn out. But there are also quite complex ones - due to severe overloads, a breakdown of the motor winding occurred, a collector or control board needs to be replaced.

So, in some products it is carried out using belt drivetherefore, in case of poor work of the product, it is necessary to remove the belt, and purchase a new one in a specialized shop. If the transfer occurs using a key on the shaft (this is called direct drive, for example, such a combine Mriya 2m), and she wore out of prolonged use, you have to disassemble the entire unit to replace it.
