  If your SWEED Food Processor won't start or stop, there are several potential causes. First, the motor protection may have tripped, requiring a reset. A broken drive belt could also be the culprit, necessitating a replacement. Check for a failed electrical service by examining the circuit power. Lastly, a switch failure might be the issue, in which case the switch should be replaced.

  If your SWEED Food Processor is failing to cut, it could be due to several reasons. The material might be too large for the machine; ensure you are using appropriately sized material. A poor knife gap could also be the problem; inspect the knife gap to ensure it is within tolerance. Lastly, the knife edges may be dull, in which case you should rotate or replace the knives.

  If the material feeding stops on your SWEED Food Processor, it might be due to several reasons. A gap that is too large between the feed rolls could be the cause; adjust the set screw on the top of the feedworks to close the feedroll gap. Inspect the drive chain for adequate tension or breakage. If the banding is twisted or bent, straighten it or remove it entirely. Finally, worn feedrolls may need to be replaced.
