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.
Wow Thanks! I was just about to donate it. :-)
Yup. The front little button has to be depressed by the bowl apparatus itself. If the top is already fully assembled the bowl won't lick because its already got the saftey kickstand sticking out the bottom. You won't see it standing above.
This tip was VERY helpful! Being left-handed, I was putting my work bowl the wrong way! After I took everything out to test the motor and pressed the black button with a pen, the motor worked!!!! Then I realized I was putting the work bowl backwards!!! THANK YOU!!!!
