magimix to fix, apparently capacitor prob pls help

[vito]

I have a magi mix which i m very proud of!!

Unfortunately the other day it had an accident. friend of mine has opened it (it s out of warranty)and he says it might well be that capacitor.

It s a fine machine and don t wanna buy a new cheaper one but don t wanna spend that amount of money for a new one

My friend says it should be easy and cheap to fix for someone that does this kind of jobs but who??

Do You know someone that can help with this pls?

Capacitors can be purchased from Maplins, just check that it's the same farad/uF rating.

If your friend has had it apart already, could he not change the part?.

..No my friend lives in France, he came over just for the we end. also he is not an electrician so he wasn t sure 100%..

think need someone to take a look at it..and fix it

Thanx Sue!

I just called them through your link. they are very nice and professional

They are sending a courier to pick my machine up on monday. A technician will see it and let me know what needs to be done and how much it will cost me. Final decision is mine and the whole posting back and forwards costs me ?25...

:) see what happens, thanx a lot

[Sue]

You're welcome.

That's very useful to know they have such good customer service, makes me more inclined to shell out the enormous amounts of dosh to buy one.

And their guarantees are really good as well (motor guaranteed for 30 years I think, but it's unlikely I'll still be around then, lol).

Hi Sue I had it for nearly 10 years and it works perfect! In my case it was an accident, my fault nothing wrong with it! It s a good buy for what it is and I am sure it s gonna be You seeing the 30 yrs guarantee expiring ..:)
