I use my Kenwood Chef A 901 Serial # 0840909 for mixing boilies which is quite a heavy job I presume
It is 50Hz 1/3 hp
I was near the end of a mix today and just getting the dough to final consistancy and there was a bang and electric smelling smoke came out of the motor area
The mixer kept running and I stopped it immediately
After the smoke had cleared and it had rested for a bit I tried it without load and was still working
Any ideas on what it may have been and what I will need to do to make it good and safe again??
I am no expert in anything like this
Thanks in advance
On mine the 0.047uF capacitor burst, and the 56 ohm resistor burnt. I got replacement parts from Maplin, total cost 83 pence.
Capacitor part number N68CN.
Resistor - they didn't have a 56 ohm, so I used a 68 ohm and a 330 ohm in parallel. Part numbers D68R and D330R.
