find the cause of each fault. All cases of electrical faults or major damage should only ever
be rectified by a qualified expert.

• Replace the start-up capacitor
• Replace the operating capacitor
• Bimetal element triggered (machine
overload)
• Cable too long and/or cable cross-
section not large enough

Damage to the mixing tub or
the mixing tools

during mixing
• Incorrect direction of rotation; tools run
“in reverse” (3-phase only)
• Mixing tools set too low
• 2 phases on the plug have to be
changed (only by an electrician)

height (see Section 8.2)
