KENWOOD PROSPERO KM280 NOT WORKING..WHY?

Hi, Peace upon you all. This afternoon, my wife's food processor Kenwood km280 suddenly dead..she planned to prepare Dorayaki for us all, to eat in the evening. Fig 1: Kenwood KM280 mixer/food processor Unfortunately, after pours mix all the ingredient into the bowl, switch On the main plug and adjust switch knob to no 1 speed, nothing happens. After many tried, after referring to the manual that comes with this food processor (KM280), she gives up and asks me to do something about it. The first step to troubleshoot the problem is to check the power from the main plug and also the fuse. The outcomes are all well and working fine. Second, check the internal connection and gearing, visually. the reason is to make sure no visible damage to the cable and gearing. This will require disassembly of the top cover. It can be done by removing six screws under. after top cover is removed, internal circuits, motor, and gears (figure below) can be observed for any damage. Fortunate
