Getting into a Kenwood food processor base, anything tricky?

[Thomas Martinez]

Curious if anyone here has cracked open the bottom housing on one of the Kenwood food processors. From what I've read on the internet it's very straightforward the unplug the processor then removing the screws from the base of the machine and the cover will come off. Nothing too fancy though, plenty of appliance have a screw hidden underneath a rubber foot.
This is partly why I'm curious to know why the covers on some Kenwood's will not want to come free when you have removed the correct screws. Are there clips on the perimeter of the machines that hold it together? From what I found online the official info says to remove the screws and the cover will come off which is very straightforward but potentially hiding something about the machine itself.
What kind of components are inside the food processors? I assume its just the motor with some kind of switch and a thermal fuse. For instance, when someone has to replace a switch, can the bottom housing access get to all the necessary part or does one have to pull more of the machine to access the relevant parts?

yeah the rubber feet thing is real on the older FP series. Peel em back and theres usually 1 or 2 screw hiding under. Not all of em though, depends on model year like you said.

Which model are you actually working on? There's a huge range of Kenwood food processors, from the cheaper Multipro lines to the larger FPM series.

opened a multipro last year. Screws under the feet, cover popped right off after that. No hidden clip on mine.
