Description: Symptom: the Multimix is running fine without l...

Steps:

1. Put the device head over
2. Lift the cover on the rear end (maybe add another spudge to lift a bit more)
3. Push the cover to the rear end (cord inlet)

4. Lift from the side of the cover and remove cover.
5. Remove PH2 screw

6. With one or more spudgers lift the back cover slightly
7. With a small screwdriver push in the middle of the cover to release the nose (see pic 3)

8. Release the retainer tabs around the casing
9. Best is to begin on the underside of the device, looking in from behind you can see the retainer tab and release it with a small screwdriver or spudger.
10. In picture 3 you can see all retainer locations.

11. After opening the case, remove the motor and electronics from the casing. It might be helpful to press the release button (green part).

12. To remove the release button, push down till retainer nose is free and the button can be pushed away from the motor.

13. Remove the 3 T10 screws and release the 3 retainer tabs.
14. Hold the motor with the gearing on top and lift the white enclosure.

15. Check gears and replace if needed.
16. In my case the sprocket on the motor shaft was broken along a tooth. Under load it lost contact and the motor could turn without the gears moving. I tried fixing it by glueing with some 2K epoxy.
17. When assembling the gear set, make sure that the two large gears – which support the beaters – are positioned so that the beaters are offset from each other. The most accurate way to do this is with the beaters temporarily inserted.
