Cuisinart BFP-703 SmartPower Duet Food Processor - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Blender bottom stuck
I tried the vinegar thing but it didn't quite work. We blended some smoothies with yogurt and it leaked through the bottom. No big deal, we tightened it up. We didn't clean it immediately. By the time we went to clean it, it was stuck. The vinegar didn't work, tried baking soda with vinegar, didn't work. Finally we ran the bottom underneath hot water for about 5-10 minutes. Finally after one strong turn the bottom came off. We have an oyster, the base can be used as well to take the bottom off but it turns counter-clockwise.

Cuisinart smartpower duet BFP703 food processor repair manual
Oh some of these answers... the most common issue with blender is that the removable blade unit starts to jam. So :1. unscrew it, clean it and make sure it turns easy2. open the unit and replace the fuse that blew up because turning the blade became too hard.Voila

Lights are on but it
If you have had your blender/food processor for less than 3 years, call Cuisinart and get it repaired in-warranty. You can find a new BFP-703 from $80-$100, and even an in-warranty repair will cost you $20-$30 in shipping (just food for thought). If you are Out Of Warranty, let me know, and I can give you some diagnostic assistance - if the shaft is just locked up, and can be oiled, that is a pretty easy fix. Anything else wrong with the unit is going to be tricky, since original internal parts are not available for sale.

Takes too long. Base heats up.
attach a fan to the base with some sticky tape. it sounds like it's getting too hot causing a catastrophic failure of the internal ailerons and thingy mebobs.

My mini cuisinart stopped working
Place the gearbox on top of the blender/food processor
Place the work bowl over the spindle, with the handle facing the front of the machine - make sure the tabs lock into place.
Place the stem adapter on top of the spindle, then the blade.
Place the lid on top of the bowl, with the feed tube facing the back of the food processor. Then the pusher into the feed tube.
Here is the link to the user manual with visuals (p.6 is most helpful):

Grater/slicer doesn't spin on my Cuisinart BFP-703 food processor
The gear box spidle operates the regular s-shaped blade as well as the grating/slicing disc. Does the s-shaped chopping/grinding disc still spin? If not, you can get a new gear box. If it does spin, replace the grating/slicing disc - because the plastic may be cracked, as you say. All of these parts are still available from Cuisinart, so I'm not sure why they weren't any help - I've always been able to order from them.

The Blender attachment will not turn, just grinds and smokes.
The motor shaft that spins the teeth that are on the base of the blender may be frozen up for some reason. If you purchased the duet within the last 3 years and have a receipt, call Cuisinart to get it repaired in warranty - even if you don't have a receipt, your serial number may still save you. If you purchased it more than 3 years ago, let me know.

Food processor
If the blade is actually fused, I would seek professional help to avoid slicing your fingers off. You can test to see if it is fused by removing the lid of work bowl, twisitng work bowl to the left, and removing the work bowl - if work bowl will not come off (difficult even under normal circumstances), then find out from Cuisinart if you are still under warranty.

Part removal and replacement
The black plastic clutch has a left-handed brass threaded insert. Temporarily remove the motor to hold the shaft and remove the brass insert by rotating clockwise.

Need to locate fuse
a thermal fuse may be located near the motor to sense an overheated motor. the fuse may be about 1/2 inch long and about 1/8 inch cylinder with two wire connections. these are available at Radio Shack or more. match the temperature rating...read the print on cylinder. if none found, look on circuit board for any print starting with letter "F". that part may be a fuse.
