What to do if my Kenwood CHEF XL Mixer stops during operation?

  If your Kenwood Mixer stops during operation, it may be due to overload protection or the overheat system being activated, possibly because the maximum capacity has been exceeded. First, unplug the mixer and check for any obstructions or overloading. Turn the speed control to “O” and then restart. If it doesn't work, reduce the ingredients to lighten the load and try again. If the issue persists, unplug the mixer and let it stand for 15 minutes, then plug it back in and reselect the speed. If the mixer still doesn't restart, no answer.

  If the whisk or K-beater on your Kenwood Mixer knocks against the bottom of the bowl or doesn't reach the ingredients, it's likely that the tool is at the wrong height and needs adjustment. Adjust the height using a suitable spanner – see “Tool Adjustment” section.

  To fit the slow speed attachment on your Kenwood Mixer, ensure that the attachment has the KAX twist connection system to fit the outlet. If your attachments feature the Bar Connection System, you’ll need to use the KAT002ME adapter to connect them to the Twist Connection System. For more information visit www.kenwoodworld.com/twist.

What to do if my Kenwood Kitchen Appliances stops and the standby light is flashing?

  Christopher HughesAug 25, 2025
  If your Kenwood Kitchen Appliances stops during operation and the standby light flashes rapidly, it indicates that the overload protection or overheat system has been activated, or the maximum capacity has been exceeded. Unplug the appliance and check for any obstructions or overloading. Turn the speed control to 'O' and then restart. If it still won't operate, remove some ingredients to reduce the load and restart. If the problem persists, unplug the machine and let it stand for 15 minutes before plugging it back in and reselecting the speed. If it still doesn't restart, contact customer care.

Why is the standby light flashing on my Kenwood Kitchen Appliances when I plug it in?

  Elizabeth HallAug 28, 2025
  If the standby light is flashing when your Kenwood Kitchen Appliances is first plugged in, it means that the speed control is not in the ‘O’ position, or the mixer head is in the raised position or not locked down correctly. To resolve this, check that the speed control is in the ‘O’ position and ensure that the Kitchen Machine head is locked down correctly.

  If a slow speed attachment cannot be fitted, first check that your attachment is compatible with your model. The attachment must have the KAX twist connection system to fit the outlet.
