Dear Gary Sallans
It may be a manufacturing flaw as you say but bear in mind that people sell these things thinking that they are non functional (I bought one described in that way) when in fact they are fully functional, due to the over-zealous, imho, safety mechanism.
The container (which is the only part that has a “pin”), the lid which locks into the container, and the plunger attachment which locks into the lid and keeps the container’s pin pressed down to its fullest extent, all have to be correctly aligned and locked for the blades to spin.
However, if it is the safety mechanism, the motor should not hum. The only time I get that hum-but-no-spin symptom is when some food is jammed in the way of the blade.
Someone filled their machine with ice in order to unfix something that was stuck. Heat via hot water then ice might help too since the shaft and pusher are made of different types of plastic that should expand and contract to a different extent. </br> I would like to turn off the safety mechanism by adding a safety mechanism override switch so that I can take my chances disconnecting and using the oval (not the small round) pusher. True I would be able to cut my fingers off but….I can chop myself up with my brush cutter and drive my car into wall.
Thank you. I purchased a “non functioning” Cuisinart DLC 10 cheaply on auction, which turned out to have been incorrectly aligned, and was in fact fully functional. It was thanks to this article and others like it that I took the chance.
