The metal blade does not reach the bottom of the bowl

Question edited for clarity.

On the bottom of the bowl there is a plastic rod that goes into a hole as part of the safety interlock which stops you switching on with the lid removed. Sometimes they stick or the return spring breaks. Remove the lid and see if you can lift the rod a little. Sometimes just jiggling the bowl back and forth with free it up. You can also put a towel on your counter top and turn the Magimix upside down and tap the bowl on the counter. Jiggle the bowl and see if it turns?

..

I've not seen a bowl stuck on one of those unless the chopping blade is jammed on the shaft and preventing the bowl lifting up. Or is the chef bowl a smaller bowl that fits inside the main bowl?

call the manufacur and they should be able to replace it.

Get in touch with Kitchen Aid, that should not be happening.

place one foot on it and pull it out or you can try to wiggle it out

This answer comes 12 years later, mebbe toooo late. Turn the plastic bowl clockwise to unlock it.At the bottom of the bowl there are two rectangular holes. Insert some thick object like steak knife handle so it will come on top of the salient part. Use theses inserted thingy-s as levers. When you lift up from outside the bowl will go up, pushing the blade out. It works all the time, but don't forget to lube the shaft sleeve so you can lift the blade more easily.

First off, is it a BLADE that's stuck, or a DISC?
If it's a disc, and the disc is blocking your access to the center post, put a ziploc baggie full of ice on top of the disc (right in the middle) and let it sit for about half an hour. That should shrink the plastic enough to pop it out.

If it's a blade, you can try the ice trick, or you can try Pam (or another food grade cooking spray) to loosen it up, and then just try to take the workbowl off like you usually would (aka, DO NOT grab the blade, or you'll risk cutting yourself--you can just pull up on the bowl, and the blade should pop off.

If you need further help, you can always contact Cuisinart--their phone number (according to their website, www.cuisinart.com ) is 1 800 726 0190



Good luck! :)

I am assuming the unit is getting power. The "power" LED should be lit up on the front of the unit.

The Kitchenaid food processors have a few safety features implimented. If the unit is not assembled properly, this may prevent the unit from turning on. Proper assembly is below:

If it isn't all ready, please disassemble the entire unit. This means removing the blade and/or disc, blade, removing work bowl, work bowl lid, and blade.

Start by placing the work bowl onto the motor base. The work bowl handle should be facing at 9 o'clock, which is out to your left. Rotate the handle downward until it locks in at the 6 o'clock position, which will lock over the center of the button panel.

Repeat the process with the work bowl lid. The blade does not need to be present for the motor to engage, if this is an assembly issue.

If this has not resolve the issue, please ensure the outlet is receiving power.

If the unit is still not functioning, take a close look at the bottom of the work bowl where it meets to the motor base. The work bowl, when locked in, depressed a gray plastic peg. This is the safety mechanism. You may trying depressing this peg on your own with a pencil. If this activates the motor, this may indicate your work bowl is no longer seating correctly.

Also check the work bowl handle to make sure nothing is cracked. There is a plastic assembly in the handle that acts as a second safety feature.

If either of these things seems to be the culprit, I would suggest seeking a new work bowl or work bowl lid to correct the issue.

All of the blades "lock" (rest in a groove) when rotated clockwise. This is so they'll stay put when in operation. When you take the bowl out with a blade in, you're moving the pair in a clockwise direction. So, you lock the blade in, thus locking the bowl down. Either remove the blade first by rotating it counter clockwise, then up or move the blade back 1/10th of a turn after rotating the bowl as far as it will go clockwise.

You can see all of the blades and their function in the user manual.
