Worn carbon motor brushes typically cause motor sparking when you're running the mixer. Unplug the stand mixer and examine the motor brushes for wear. To remove a motor brush, use a screwdriver to unscrew the motor brush cap. Pull the cap and the carbon brush out.
Artisan mixers do not "switch". The food processor gets power from the power take off (PTO) shaft under the cap on the front of the mixer and the mixer gets power through the gear box. Both get motor power all the time all the time.
To "switch", take the bowl and beaters off the Artisan. Remove the PTO cap and install the food processor. Tape up your sleeves so the mixer drive does not grab your blouse. Turn on the mixer (as usual), adjust the speed (as usual), and process away.
By unlocks I have to assume that the mixer head can be lifted up during operation (yes that's really messy ans in some cases maybe even dangerous) I have to assume that you also mean the the head lock switch is not engaging, You have to take the mixer apart to re attach the mixer lock switch. There are several really good videos on youtube that shows step by step procedure for taking the mixer apart. you will see the switch when you have the mixer apart. tighten the screw down tight enough to make the switch engage again. Re-assemble the mixer.
I determined that the switch that controls whether the mixer is on or off is controlled by a copper bar with a contact. The contact got fused to the copper bar, possibly due to a short. Since the contact got fused to the copper bar, the circuit was always connected, so the mixer was always on. The solution was to 1) unplug the mixer, and 2) take a screw driver and gently pry the contact away from the copper bar. When the mixer is in the off position, the copper bar and contact are no longer in contact. When the mixer is on, the copper bar and contact make contact. My mixer now works just fine. Yea!
Just buy the replacement switch, buy a star or philips screw driver and do it yourself. Just copy how it is mounted and get it done. Just e-mail to us the result.
There is no switch. When you have the accesory in the front, the beater section still moves. I suggest that you remove the beater so that there is less possibility for someone to get hurt.
