Cuisinart DFP-14BCN Capacitor Replacement

Introducción

Replacing your faulty capacitor will bring power back to your motor, allowing the blades to spin. The Cuisinart DFP-14BCN has two capacitors, so these steps may be followed to remove each one. To remove and replace your capacitor, you will need to use a soldering iron. Check out this soldering guide for instructions.

Capacitors are potentially dangerous. Be sure to discharge each capacitor before conducting this repair, and follow all safety guidelines found here: Watch out for Large Capacitors.

    • Caution: Be careful not to touch the capacitor wires as you work. If possible, use a capacitor discharge probe to safely rid the capacitors of dangerous charges.

    • Orient the base of the processor so that the power cord is facing you.

    • Locate the capacitor that you need to replace. The capacitor looks like a black cylindrical battery.

    • There are two capacitors in the device, but these steps refer to replacing the leftmost capacitor.

    • Slide the plastic covering off of the white wire connection on the top of the capacitor by pulling gently.

Very helpful. Doing this on an earlier model, the DLC-7 SuperPro. Confirmed my suspicion that the case screws were under the feet and offered a strategy for diagnosing the loss of power about which I was unaware.

My model DL-8m had three visible screws and one hidden beneath the rubber foot. I had no idea how to open the base till I read your guide. Thanks!

Any ideas about a source for the replacement capacitor?

Just input the numbers off the capacitor ( 150uf 250 vac etc. ) into google and you should find a few different ones ( I went with eBay ) make sure to not only get one that matches ratings wise but also visually similar ( so it fits the original location )

Capacitor is ok

runs when put on its side, but in normal vertical position motor hums but won’t start unless you twist the shaft

starts normally when on its side
