- Oh My God I Almost boxed this kitchenaid food Processor up and sent it back, when I called customer service they walked me through this 2 minute check and voila it worked, I asked the rep why no one has done a video troubleshooting this and asked if I could do one, she legitimately begged me to do it! It is so frustrating that there wasn’t one video giving clear start up instructions!

if it wasn't for this video i'd be in jail for shooting a unarmed food processor:} I have a model kfp0722 and this vid works for this food processor as well, instructions come in three useless languages i was at my wits end,,and i broke down and read the instructions,, they may as well been in swahili, the book is useless, no where does it show you the two safety switches that have to be made, if it wasn't for the crazed indian house wife,, there would have been a shamed swedish husband who couldn't get his wife's christmas present to work ,and i worked in maintenance for 30 yrs, i'm not that proud to not to get help when i need it , and boy this saved my sanity and brand new mixer
I know that’s real
You are not alone. I am a visual learner . I revert back to the manual when I am unable to figure it out. No, no, no, it is visual, youtube then the handbook. Lol!
Mine is the same model as yours and it worked
Its 2022 and still very useful! Thanks so much!!❤
Also note: Like on mine (Kfp1333) the red gasket on the lid loosened from wear and it caused the contacts for the safety switch to not reach when closed. I ended up just taking off the gasket seal and it works every time. New gaskets are $20.
You’re a lifesaver!!! You just saved us from throwing my moms year old processor away because we could never get it to come on! God bless, thanks a million!!
You saved another food processor from going in the garbage! Omg I’ve had this for over nine years and I’ve only gotten it to work once 😂 thanks so much for this video!!!
You’re the best my Mom didn’t use her machine for three years because she thought it was broken. It was a gift from my brother & she didn’t want to throw it away. We finally got it working after all this time about 15 mins ago! Thanks again LOL
OMG YOU ARE THE BEST!!! This food processor has been sitting in my kitchen taking up space for a year because i just assumed it was broken. I took it out tonight to try and get it running and knew I had everything aligned yet I couldn't get it running until I stumbled upon your video! Thank you!!!! 🙏
KitchenAid should pay you for your time and dedication. Thank you ma’am.
YOU SAVED THE DAY!! Brand new food processor my mom bought me a year ago. I have two kids and two hours to make my husband's birthday cake and I was losing my mind lol!! THANK YOU
I did lose my mind before I realised 2 crucial parts were MISSING.
Just letting you know this video is still saving people from headaches! I bought this processor off FB marketplace and thought I got duped but it works perfectly! Tysm
Oh my goodness! I wish I could hug you. I bought an older super heavy processor from an estate sale. After soaking and washing everything I was ready to make tahini. I loaded in the sunflower seeds and press on and the on button lit up but nothing happened. I spent a good 30 minutes changing parts and nothing. Anyway, I googled and chose your video and even though we have completely different processor's it worked for mine. You saved my sanity. Hopefully you can feel the love I'm sending. Thank you so very. much.
Omg, Leena. I was ready to give up and toss out my not-highly used Food Processor when along you come with this. Genius!!! Even Kitchen Aid had no idea of this hack. Hope you still check your comments and huge thanks from grateful viewers!!
gurl!!!! my food processor was in the box in the trash....i watched your video IT WORKED FOR ME. you saved me the grief and expense of buying a new food processor. thank you...thank you.
Thanks. This helped sort out our issue. For us, the small tab on the lid that engages the safety button had a small piece broken off that we hadn't noticed. As a temp fix, we are just using a small wooden skewer to engage the button, but I hope to figure out a more permanent solution without having to buy new parts. Love the video.
I'd like to thank you SO much for this simple video! I didn't know how to work this, as I knew I had it wrong, but couldn't figure out how to put the lid on right! Now I can do all kinds of stuff... Thank you! Forgot to mention that I've had mine for 9 years now... Bought it at Target at a great price and when I couldn't work it, I gave up on it and just stored it... Never even gave it a thought to call Customer Service...
Im watching this 5 years after your upload and you saved me !!!! Thank you 🩷
I ordered this food processer about two years ago and just today was the first time I've had to time to use it, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to return it. Thank you so much for your video it worked like a charm.
Same.😳
Omg you totally made me look like a superhero to my wife!!!!! She was going to toss the machine against the wall (metaphorically speaking). Rock on and keep this stuff coming!
Thank you! I thought I was crazy but I see it’s the people who wrote the manual who were negligent. You deserve a special place in heaven for making this video.
Had a food processor for two years and went crazy wondering what the issue was cos the motor was working! Determined this morning to get it working and boom! I came across your amazing video. Thank you so much for making me happy today!!!
You literally saved me from hand shredding zucchini for zucchini bread today! You are THE BEST!! Thank you for this video!💖💖
I cannot THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THIS! I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working. My nutribullet bit it so I made myself use processor which ran into this exact issue! I almost wanted to give up. Thanks for saving the gift from a special sister.
I gave up and hadn’t used my food processor for 3 years now. And your video just saved me 😂😂
I got mine almost a year ago but hadn’t tried to use it until today. I was so mad that it didn’t work. I thought I would look for the reason why and found your video. You saved me from bashing it. Now I can make some banana coconut ice cream for Easter tomorrow. God Bless. Thank you so much.
You saved me from throwing my food processor away and buying a new one! If you’re ever in MN, I owe you a drink of your choice!!!
My first youtube comment after sooo many years of being on here...thanks for this. It was extremely helpful and made my wife happy that her processor wasn't dead! Thanks!!
Leena, thank you. I bought the same kind like yours bout 5yrs ago right before moving back to states. Long story short, while unpacking our stuff it was unboxed and put up. Finally, had a reason to use but couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working. Well, here I’m on your channel. So glad I found you before i junked it.
I have had this processor for 7 years and never was able to use it was about to throw it away. I just did the happiest dance and cried I'm so happy. 🤭bless and thank you!!!
Thank you SO, SO much! You prevented me from throwing out this item. It was given to me by a friend and at first I thought it was a dud.
You are my super hero of the day! I pray you can generate money from this video. Most useful video ever.
You save my day!
I thought my processor was dead and my husband find your video.
Thanks a lot!
Let me tell you something, I had forgotten how I was able to get mine to work when I first had this problem, and thankfully, I came across your video.I have saved it for any future forgetfulness, and I thank you, you saved the day. Long live this video!
KITCHEN AID.....Give this woman every toy you make. She is the first one to get it on and tell us wtf???? Serioulsy, KITCHEN AID....you mention none of this in your booklet. And finally, I"d like to thank, Leena Didi. For taking the time post carrot cake to make this video. Personally, I was ready to deep six my machine. Leena....you rock...you made my day. ty
Thanks SO much...I thought my processor was inoperable, thought I’d have to buy a new one. I watched your video, and voila!!! The processor fired up...I called kitchen aid, but no help from them....YOU saved me, and the food processor too!
I was two seconds from taking apart the entire food processsor. YOU SAVED MY LIFE! I owe you one.
OMG I can’t thank you enough!! My friend gave me this 2 years ago and I was worried it was not working! You literally saved me because I was not lining them up correctly! It totally works!! Thank you so much!
Oh my dear Lord! Your video is a saviour! I returned the one I bought and asked for another one. Both “didnt” work and then I saw your video and I got it to work!!! Oh my!! THANK YOU
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Bought one of these years ago. Made something with it (don't remember) and put it away. Years later I found this little gem in the dark recesses of my cookware graveyard. Brought it out and couldn't get it to work. Spent several days on it. No luck. Wife said chuck it. I said no. It has sat on my countertop for a very long time. Tonight I stumbled on your video and tried what you recommended. It worked!!!
Vegetables beware.
Thank you so much for posting this. I have had this exact food processor in my basement for 5 years and have only been able to get it to work a handful of times. I just bought another brand at Costco and was about to open it but thought I would give the old one one more try before getting rid of it. I found your video and realized what I was doing wrong. It works now! I am thankful for people like you that share your knowledge!
Oh my gosh! I got my food processor 3 or 4 yrs ago and I couldn’t get it to work. It’s been sitting in my garage, to donate. But I never did, because I thought “I can’t donate a broke machine.” I was cleaning my garage and was about to throw it all in the trash (I have all the accessories container) but I wanted to try one more time. Looking on UA-cam for cost/ how to repair motor. Found this and WOW- it works!!! I’m sorry I didn’t try to look up fixing it, 3 years ago!! Thanks!!!
I was ready to throw my KitchenAid food processor out. I have a different model but very similar to this one. In watching this video, I realized I needed to turn the lid so that the shoot was facing me rather than in the back. It seemed to lock either way but was not working with the shoot in the back. Thank you so much for this video!
I'm so grateful for your video. I took out my food processor model KFP0722 to use it for the first time and nothing worked. I was so mad...called my friend about and we worked through put the parts together again and it still didn't work! He suggested UA-cam of course and your video was the life saver. I did everything you said and it worked perfectly...the brand new food processor. Thank you so so much from all the way over her in Montego Bay Jamaica
Yes! A video that actually helped me solve the issue. Thank you from the bottom of my now very well blended soul... You are an internet treasure.
Ditto to these comments below!! This is the most valuable info Ive ever seen on youtube. THANK YOU for taking time away from your carrot cake to make this.
This worked for my kfp1333. Thank you! And you're right, there are no other videos showing the safety latches! I got my KFP from my MIL and I was afraid I'd have to tell her it didn't work! Turns out the bottom safety button was just stuck and needed a good poking!
I got this processor a few years ago for Christmas and almost returned it then. I can't remember how we came to realize that it actually worked and you just needed to know how to use it but I remember it was involved and frustrating. Anyway, I don't process food very often so when I pulled this out today I knew there was a trick I just couldn't remember what it was. I struggled with it for a while and finally googled it and landed upon your video. THANK YOU! I knew it had something to do with the lid :)!
You and this video were a life saver!!!! I am taking an online culinary nutrition class and treated myself to this beauty of a food processor. When I had put in all my ingredients for a zucchini hummus and it wouldn't turn on...I ALMOST LOST MY MIND!!! The book was of no help, the website for KitenchAid was no help. You saved the day!!! KitchenAid should thank you with new appliances!!
Thank you so much. We looked at so many videos that didn't solve my problem. Now after following your video we have a working food processor!
Thank you! You saved another one from being donated to Goodwill. My husband called Kitchenaid, but they had no clue. He watched a few videos, but none of them discovered your revelation. Thank you for patiently explaining. Nice dog!
Omg thank you thank you I bought my kitchen aid food processor 3years ago and have NEVER been able to use it. I wanted to just cry outta shear frustration after trying again last night and even looking on here I never saw a video that showed me anything I needed to make it work. Till this morning, I was looking for video of processor that looked like mine and I saw your video and OMG you were sooooo very helpful!! I did what you did and then I through some walnuts in the processor after I made sure everything worked and it worked for the first time. I was so excited I had to get back on here to thank you for being so helpful you rock!
I had tried for hours to turn on my processor. Found your way, followed your instructions and it worked like a charm! Thank you so much! I was about ready to throw it in the garbage and it’s brand new!
Thank you! For all the reasons everyone else is thanking you. It was so kind of you to take the time to help us. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you soooooo much!!!! Was really frustrated with mine, bought it in 2018, tried it once and it went dead. Called Kitchen Aid today and they said I was out of warranty and if I would like to buy “another one” Tried your recommendation and wooooow!!!!! I have my food processor back!!!!
Thank you so much for posting this video! I almost lost my mind a few minutes ago when I was in the middle of making banana bread. Thanks for explaining and showing everything.
Thank you so much! I thought my machine was broken for years. Desperately needed to use it and found your video. It now works! Never commented on a video before but had to express my thanks - you’re a star - thanks a million!
I dont normally comment on posts, but this video saved me a whole lot of aggravation. I too thought, the processor may be dead on arrival and i was most disappointed. Decided to check the internet as i had a similar problem with a small food chopper, so i knew that if i didnt fit the processor properly it would not start. the pencil tip to check the motor I found to be most invaluable and once that was done. When it still wouldnt start I double checked and aligned it as you suggested. I am now ready to chop up a whole lot of cheese. Thanks so much.
I can feel the stress lifting off of me 😅 Thank you so much for being a lifesaver.
Thank you! I had the lid on backward and didn't realize it. You are a goddess among mere mortals.
It was the lid that got me. Didn't realize that there was this safety feature. Thank you so much!
Hey! I bought this food processor from a thrift store and spazzed out while trying to get it to work. Thanks for this video!
Thank you for posting this! I have had mine for over a year and was ready to give up! You saved me from throwing it out. Thank you !
I don't normally comment on UA-cam videos. But thank you so very much!!! I was about to skip dinner because I was so frustrated! Thank you, thank you xx
Thank you! without your instructions I would have never known why it wasn't working!
Holy crap! I just spent two hours trying to get my food processor to turn on and I was literally ready to throw it away. Then I saw this. Problem solved! Wow, thank you!!
Ahh thank you! I couldn't figure out why mine wasn't working. The bowl was clicked in and the lid was secure, BUT it was turned the wrong way and the one plastic part wasn't lined up in the handle to push the safety mechanism. Fixed it and it works fine now!
Omg thank you. I was so frustrated with my food processor. Thanks to this video I didn't throw it away 😂
THANK YOU!!!!!!! Literally in the middle of making pesto and was about to have a meltdown. You are a life saver snd I appreciate you!
Thanks for your video!!!! I bought my processor a year ago... and thanks to you I stopped crying because didn’t work... 😆 at first
Another saved food processor. I am usually VERY GOOD at trouble shooting things like this. I knew to lock the bowl and the top....and I did. What I did not know is that the 'shoot' had to be lined up in the front center to make the lock/saftey mechanism work. The top will lock in other positions, but not run until it is in the front and center. Thank you even though you made this video 3.5 years ago! Hope you are doing well! 😂
Thank you so much! We were tearing our hair out trying to figure this out but now it works. You saved us from tossing this out!
I was about to toss this and order a new, non KitchenAid food processor. Thank you so much for posting this. I am glad I checked here before tossing it. This problem has existed since day one and I thought my machine was temperamental. Sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn't.
We use the processor sparingly. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn’t. I was aware of the ‘safety switch’ on the base of the processor, but not of the one on the handle. Now we know that the lid has to go on a certain way so that the lid’s tab depresses the handle’s safety switch. Phew!!! A lot easier than taking the processor apart and trouble shooting. Thank You!!!
A year and a half ago I got this brand new food processor, best in the business, I gave up on it because I couldn't get it to work and thought "waste of money" and then my mother figured ot out after talking to customer service. However she didn't tell me before she left to go on holiday and I couldn't reach her so now I wanted to make a cheesecake and was left wondering what to do and you just saved me from selling it and me doing the old hitting cookies in a bag with a rolling pin way.
I guess it would get out my frustration? Still would be left wondering why though. SO many questions as to why! Like why isn't it working? And why am I still wanting to put up with it? And best of all, Why in Gods good name isn't this in the damn manual!? I swear, they need to remake the damn instruction book!
So thank you! Thank you so much for this!
The Kitchen Aid people should really provide a link to this video on their social media. You're providing a much needed service.
Thank you so much for adding this video. I had yet to use my food processor and had been storing it in the garage. My mother in-law asked me to bring it over to help with making holiday foods. Throughout a household of adults we could not get it to work. We all thought it was broken and it was really defeating. You video saved my night. Thank you.
My wife told me to throw it out. It now purrs like a kitten. You. Are. Awesome!
YOU ARE THE BEST. YOU SAVED ME FROM MY MOM AND CUSTOMER SERVICE!
easily the best video on the net for this unit. I about threw mine out window!!!!!
YOURE AWESOME!
I was going crazy on why my food processor wasn't working... Thank you so much for your help! 💜
Thank you for posting this video! Attempted an online chat with the company and they wanted a credit card to cover their “fee”. Tried this next and it saved us. We are in the middle of preparing Easter Dinner and I am so relieved this was an easy fix!
Happy Easter to you!
THANK YOU....THANK YOU!!!! I just moved to Belize.... unpacked my kitchenAid ready to go! It wouldn't turn on. Hours I'm trying to figure this thing out. It worked before. Ok, had to scrape my plans earlier but did not give up. KITCHEN AID PAY THIS LADY!!! She just saved my life. Can't wait til morning!
You saved me! I was so frustrated. I was in the middle of making chicken patties. I had prepped everything prior and was ready to grind the chicken. Then I took the pieces of my new processor that was washed to dry. I followed the instructions down to the T and assembled everything together. But it wouldn’t grind! It would not do anything. I worked on it for 1/2 hr and gave up. Went back to my old Ninja processor to finish up my patties. Here I am scrolling they UA-cam and finally after 10 videos came across yours. I have model KFC3516 but followed what you were pointing out as the key buttons and took action. It worked! I don’t have to spend hours looking for the receipt or calling KitchenAid. Thank you so much!
I almost threw the whole thing in the trash thinking it broke after one use. Thank you so much!
Oh my gosh you are such a lifesaver. I purchased my processor back in February and shame on me that I'm trying to use it now (April). I was like, "WTHeck, it's broke!" I looked on the receipt and couldn't return it because it was past 30 days. I have read and read the manual repeatedly trying to figure out what was wrong. For two days I was kicking myself for not using it back then. Do you know how long it takes to make cauliflower rice when you have to use a knife? UGH! So I thought, go to UA-cam before throwing it in the trash. First video, no go. They showed me what I was already doing. This video saved it and me. I wasn't locking the lid properly. Good grief! Why was this thing adult-proof? I get it so you don't chop off your fingers but ... GOOD GRIEF! Thank you so much for helping the rest of us!
Thank youuuu! My lovely food processor has been sitting in my cupboard for THREE YEARS since I moved, because I couldn't get it to work after I unpacked it. Used some of my quarantine time to do some always-put-off household errands and decided to see if I could fix it myself. Or rather, myself and UA-cam! I can't wait to start using my Kitchen Aid again! You're the best.
Thank you so much for sharing this information with us. I literally left it in some corner for two years, not knowing why wouldn't it work after trying all possible ways. The manual was of no help then, when I tried to check it again, it started once but then it wasn't turning on at all. When I was checking out instructional videos for assembling the food processor on UA-cam, luckily I found yours. Thanks once again, I felt like either I might be the only one who didn't know how to fix it or I might have brought a nonworking food processor. If I didn't watch your video to fix, it would probably would have been in a corner for another year.
Praise the gods! I was so friggin frustrated, and now… I can use my processor! Thank you thank you!
THANK YOU! I just came home from vacation and my food processor randomly didn't work...thought maybe I would see if it was something I could fix...and it is. Thank you so much for saving my money and my sanity!!
Thank You so much!!! I got one of these from an estate sale and couldn't get it work. Nobody else has a video on how to put it together! You were so helpful and saved me a bundle in time and money.
You are a lifesaver! The lid latch is what got me.
Thank you SO SO much! This video saved me! My 11 month old was screaming and I was losing my shit trying to shred some veggies! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. We spent 45 minutes trying to make this work to no avail. Well done and thank you!!!
Thank you so much, I bought this food processor at a clearance sale and could not figure it out. It was about to make a trip to goodwill. So thank you so much.
Hi, I’m María, the pic is my husband, my iPad have some problems! TANK YOU so much, I fix my food processor! It really works the trick! Tank you
oh my goodness. I knew someone on youtube would have a solution. Unfortunately, mine is not the same brand/model so I can't get mine to stay in contact. My husband said to bury it in the backyard. LOL. I was so frustrated, that you so much for letting me know I am not crazy. I can work a kitchen appliance, but clearly without child safety features! thank you again, I shall keep trying to make the two context.
Thank you!!!! I have had mine for a long time and did not want to replace it. You helped me figure out what was not connecting and fix the issue. Things ware out over time, but you made it possible to extend the life of mine. Again thank you sooooo much!!!!!
Thank you! I was just about to return it to target. I got such a good deal on it and it would have sucked if it didn’t even work. We were processing beans 2 minutes after watching this video. Great video! Straight forward and didn’t have to waste my time watching or have to forward through a long explanation.
I haven't used my FP in over a year since I was traveling for work. When it didn't work, I remembered your video from, you guessed it, when I 1st bought the damn thing. I didn't feel like reading the manuel at 00:45. Thanks again.
Legend - just found this video and sorted out my wife’s machine. Thanks!
Omg you're my hero!!! I had forgotten about this machine in my storage. Pulled it out today. Never used it before and I thought I wa gifted a dud. Thaaaaanks!
THANK YOU! After 2 hours on a weekend with no customer service available, I gave up. Texted my husband and said "Remove this from our house. I never want to see it again." I self imposed a "time out", realized I can't be the only one who's ever had issues. Found your video and POW, our giant block of cheese is grated in less than 20 minutes! Thanks for making time to share!
@@VirgosTalkingShxt oh, we sure will! Pizza Family Night 😊
Thank you! I bought a used one from Letgo and I felt bad to have to return it, sense the guy needed the money. This made my day! Thank you once again!
Thanka a ton! Your video and instructions were very easy and simple to follow. I almost kicked it back to the stupid shopkeeper for selling me a dodgy machine. Lol! Thanks again.
