Another post suggested that by replacing the fuse, a dead BFP-703 could be brought to life.
I've taken apart my machine but can't locate anything that looks like a fuse. Is a schematic available, or something that will help to find the fuse.
I had the same problem when the GFI's in my apartment shorted. The blender has a zener diode at the AC input to the circuit board which fries when overloaded/shroted. In my case it was quite obviously burned, so much so that I can no longer discern the part number.I had the same problem when the GFI's in my apartment shorted.

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.
The LED lights come on but the motor will not turn. It did get really hot the last time I was able to use it. Can I assume it is the fuse that has gone bust?
I found the fuse on the circuit board, near the incoming power supply, it looks cracked and something seems to have oozed out if it and re-solidified. The fuse is soldered to the circuit board, is it something I can replace if I am able to find the part? Looking for instructions on how to replace the fuse myself.The LED lights come on but the motor will not turn. It did get really hot the last time I was able to use it.

Yeah there is a fuse that is located on the coil of the motor. The fuse is wrapped up and looks something like this:http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.... Not that the only place to buy this is Radioshack, but if you must then that is the one I used to fix this problem. It surely will do the trick and take note that the shell of the fuse must be insulated by a thin piece of high temperature like the tape on the original part. I just reused that to avoid having issues with the high temperature part. Also, be sure to use a crimping method or high temperature solder when you replace this as the solder may come loose or soften over time in that high temperature environment.Yeah there is a fuse that is located on the coil of the motor.

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 easy 2. open the unit and replace the fuse that blew up because turning the blade became too hard. Voila
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.
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.
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.
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.
open unit wil find thermal fuse replace.alternative the lid that covers bowl normally turns cliickinto position .this activates aswitch check if properly locked in
