Motor bearings

I have solved it at last! Remove the 5 screws on the bottom. There are 2 more screws (which may be blackened with oil) located through the grille directly below the motor. They're stumpy little things with gripping washers. I had to bend the plastic grille thingys to get screwdriver in. Once released, these will enable the whole base to be removed. Then there are 3 screws to get the plate off to put the new belt on. Put the belt around the big cog. Replace the 3 screws of the plate. The motor drive is loose now so you can angle the drive cog to attach the belt to this. Using gravity by turning the processor on it's edge you should with some fiddling be able to put the stumpy screws back in - took me a couple of goes. Replace the 5 screws and robert is a very close relative.

Hiya,I have search the internet for the FP310 manual and cant find it anywhere. I dont suppose you know where I could get it from, would really appreciate a little help. Its like Kenwood have forgotten about my little processor!! : ( Ha!Thanks in advance, AImee

hi if you still have problems email me and i will try and talk you through,it may be the belt (teeth worn out) or the pulley (same problem).the info given in your post is very vague.if its the teeth on either the belt or pulley there is a simple fix.remove bottom of base with screwdriver there should be screws under the feet of machine. use a bike valve screwdriver to remove the two remaining screws(depending on make and model)remove belt, put RUBBER BAND

if its like mine the belt or pulley wear out mine took 8 years for it wear out. i couldnt find the parts so i took of the base(make sure its unplugged) remove the belt(hold one side of belt over the large cog and turn the cog, the belt should fall off) get a large rubber band (the width of the pulley)and twist the band over the pulley a number of times until it fits tightly over the pulley, replace belt and base and it should work.this will work if the belt or pulley teeth are wornmy wife still cant beleive it worked
