SEMI OT: Is there a website, manual, or video for Kenwood Ch

[Geoffrey S. Mendelson]

For those of you in the US, nevermind, you probably have no idea of what I
am talking about. Sorry.


Is there aything out there, e.g. manual, video or website with information
on repairing a Kenwood Chef Mixer?

They have been around since 1955, I expect by now there must be one.

Someone is giving me an old (1970's vintage) one and I was wondering if
there was any preventive maintainance I could do (or have done) to it.

Thanks in advance,

Geoff.

Have you done a search for the sevice manual. I found one on the net
some time ago, downloaded a pdf, but can't remember where I put it.
There is not much to do on them other than lubrication and motor
brushes. I saw new replacement motors on Ebay around the time I was
looking for info. Mine/ours is over 45 years old and apart from paint
peeling and chipping only required cleaning & lube.

Thanks, yes I have. Unfortunately, when I google Kenwood, I get
responses for radios (products of the Trio Corporation, Japan) instead
of Kenwood appliances.

If you do find it please let me know.

But the question is where to lube?

Thanks,

If you pull the top plate off it becomes obvious. Just be sure that you
note how it comes apart. The motor is removed as a complete unit, just
be careful with the wires to the speed controler.

Now you mention it, I seem to recall that I hit the same problem ! The
manual was from a US source and they didn't use the "Kenwood" name.
But I'm blessed if I can remember what it was. Which might also be why
doing a search on my machine I can't find It...

Thanks. I found a site that sells "rebuild" kits for the electronics
(capacitors, resistors and the one semiconductor) cheaply.

They include instructions.

DeLonghi? That's who owns them now, and the lower end mixer was produced
in 120 volts for them.
