Fix food processor motor?

If the motor on a Moulinex Ovatio 3 food processor isn’t working, the most common causes are a tripped thermal cut-out, worn carbon brushes, or a faulty safety interlock. These machines will not run unless the bowl and lid are correctly locked in place. What you can check: Unplug the unit and let it cool for 30–60 minutes in case the motor overheated. Make sure the bowl and lid are seated correctly so the safety switch is engaged. Try a different power socket and check the power cord for damage. Opening the motor housing to repair brushes or internal wiring involves mains electricity and is not recommended unless you are experienced. In many cases, replacement is more economical than motor repair. For general food-processor safety and motor operation reference, see a similar user guide here:
