Electrolux XBM20 - Fault Finding; Beater Not Starting; Abnormal Operation; Tool Sticking Issues

5.2 NOISE OR ABNORMAL OPERATION
• Metallic noise
- Bent tool or tool rubbing or turning the wrong way round
(see § 2-3).
- Damaged bowl or bowl not in place (see § 3-3)
- Lack of grease on planet gear (see § 6-4 for removal).
• Grating noise
- Drive belt slipping causing it to wear quickly (see § 6.2
for replacement).
- Defective drive belt (see § 6-2 for its replacement)
• Lack of power
- Check the guides and pulleys are sliding properly and the
condition of the drive belt (see § 6-2)
- Motor running on two phases (see § 6-6).
- Incorrect power supply voltage with overheating of the motor.
- Too high working speed: lower the speed
- Overloaded: reduce the quantity.
If the problem persists, contact your dealer’s maintenance
department.
5.3 TOOL STICKING ON TOOL-HOLDER SHAFT
• Generally caused by incorrect cleaning or warping of the tool
after a knock.
• If starting to jam, do not force but oil or use penetrating liquid
and wait a moment for the product to work.
• Gradually work in measured steps:
- By turning using and to-and-fro movement.
- By tapping on the tool with a mallet after having freed the pin
from the bayonet.
- Rub down the warped part with abrasive cloth where required.
If the problem persists, contact your dealer’s maintenance
department.
5.4 SPEED CONTROL LEVER
• If the speed control lever becomes sti󰀨:
- lightly oil the variable pulley spindles and grease the sliding
gear drive pin.
• If the lever no longer stays in position automatically, refer to §
6-3 speed adjustment.
If the problem persists, contact your dealer’s maintenance
department.
Maintenance
6.1 MECHANISM
• It is recommended that the following is carried out at least once
a year:
- Where necessary, grease the planet gear pinions with very
adhesive grease (refer to us, see § 6-4).
- Clean out the dust from the drive belt and our dust from the
inside of the machine using a vacuum cleaner.
• Access to the electrical components:
- unplug the machine.
• The capacitors may remain charged with electricity. To prevent
any risk when working on the machine, it is recommended that
they are discharged by connecting across their terminals with an
insulated conductor (a screwdriver, for example).
