20 Most Recent Cuisinart DFP-11 Deluxe Food Processor Questions & Answers

Put the work bowl, lid, and pusher on one piece at a time - handle of work bowl faces the front of the food processor, hollow feed tube faces the back, and the sliding lock switch on pusher sleeve faces the front. Should turn on.

If it doesn't, test the motor - remove the work bowl and other parts completely. Plug the base in and turn it on, and use a pen to push in the dark grey or black button on top of the base - if it spins, the motor is still good - you may just need a replacement part. If it doesn't make a sound, it needs to be sent in to Cuisinart for repair.

All Cuisnarts have an interlock rod built in to the bowl assembly. Make sure the bowl is positioned on the motor base correctly, and the actuator in the lid that pushes the interlock rod down is not bromen or damaged. If it is intact and working correctly, then check the switch it pushes on, or the main power switch.

You can get the Motor Shaft Covers for most if not all Cuisinart models from their customer service. They are not shown on the web under parts, but if you call them, they can help you get the right part. Just have your model # ready. For many, the part is $3 plus shipping and handling.

If it is in warranty, it can be sent to Cuisinart for repair. If it is out-of-warranty, it will cost more than a new food processor to repair.

here is the manual online

check to make sure micro switch is engaged, will not turn on because of safety switch . if overloaded the thermal fuse has blown inside the machine. check to see if you have voltage , you may need a voltage test meter too and tools

Make sure it is unplugged !!! If you have a blade tool, Rotate the motor several times in direction of normal rotation. Then all clear, plug it in and see how that does. Repeat if necessary. Sometimes the brushes in the motor are seated and turning the motor helps the realignment. mAKE SURE TO UNPLUG IT!!!! Ned

Removing a Cuisinart Food Processor Work Bowl
You have to remove the pusher first by twisting it off. Then press the sides of the pusher sleeve inward and slide the sleeve up and out of place. Then twist off the lid - all twisting on these food processors works either clockwise or counterlcokwise - not both. Then twist the work bowl to the left (clockwise). Voila!

Don't switch off using the lid interlock or that will be next to go. It is to stop you from running it without the lid. Turn it off at the wall socket. Cuisinart Spares https://www.google.com/search?q=Cuisinart+Class+Pro+parts ..

You don't say what model, but all Cuisinarts have a safety interlock built in to the bowl assembly. The cover must be removed from the bowl to release this interlock before you can remove the bowl from the motor base.

It sounds like the safety interlock system on your Cuisinart 14 cup food processor is engaged, preventing the bowl from fitting securely onto the base. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
2. Use a small, pointed object such as a toothpick to gently push the white safety pin up and out of its locked position. This may take some effort.
3. Check the base of the food processor for any obstructions or debris that may be preventing the bowl from fitting correctly. Clean any debris you find.
4. Reinsert the bowl onto the base, ensuring that it is properly aligned and twisted into place.
5. Press the bowl down firmly onto the base until you hear and feel it click into place.
6. Plug the unit back in and test it to see if the safety interlock system has been disengaged and the food processor is working normally.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to take the unit to a professional repair technician or contact Cuisinart customer service for further assistance.

That is a sort of clutch to protect the motor.
