make sure the tab on the lid is firmly in the slot, it is a safety feature and will not run if not firmly in place. may have to hold it. as far as the stem shown, it did not fit my processor. i have a 702-3.

Sorry I can't help... This weekend the same thing happened to the unit I bought for my Mom. Please let me know if you find an easy fix for this problem.

Don't have an answer for you, just think its interesting. We have really liked our system and bought it just over 2 years ago but it decided to just stop working all together today, no power at all. and it has been working great just today even. this is one of those times I wish I had bought the extended warranty, funny how the one you don't get it for is the one that quits working. Oh well. If anyone knows a fix let me know please. already checked all the connections and like I said was working fine earlier in day.

I'd just back up in the "Menu Tree" and try again. If that didn't work I'd Power cycle the unit to reboot it and start over. Good luck.

The best advice I can give you is to return it. Even if it turns on, it is worthless. The motor is very weak and it will not do the job. I had this product and literally threw it away a week after I bought it (I had already threw out the receipt, so I could not return it). It is worthless. Bite the bullet and buy a better mini processor, like a Cuisinart. You will be happy you did.

I had to replace the entire unit so I'm probably not much help. I'd give their support center a call -- they may be able to troubleshoot it remotely. Good luck.

Mine works just fine. This power cutting off thing is not normal. Return it asap!

We had to call an appliance repair company. There was an electrical board that failed and they replaced it for us. Since then, that side worked great until the "red side" stopped working. Have to call the company back to replace that board as well...

What I would try is an AC Power Cycle first. 1. Shut off the unit with power switch 2. Unplug the unit 3. Turn unit back on (yes with no power) 4. Hold reset button down for 30 seconds or so to completely drain all power 5. Turn off power 6. Plug unit back in and try to turn unit on and see if that resets it. Many times with any electronics an AC Power Cycle like this can resolve many issues.I do agree they should have a downloadable copy of the manual though.

I would guess it is an electronic problem. I would ask for a new one if relatively new, or it could be just a buildup of particles from cooking, etc.. Contact Kidde.

Please check all the connections and replace with a new power supply. If the problem remains please send it back. Thanks!

Make sure the lid is all the Way snapped into place and also that the processor part is all the way snapped in. It won't turn on if not all the way locked in.

I would make sure the electrical outlet works - plug a light or something in it. If the unit won't even light up, it's defective/broken. If it's the condenser(?) motor that doesn't start, try reducing the desired humidity with the down arrow as low as it will go.

If not available at Amazon, I would contract Hamilton Beach and see if any replacement parts are available for this unit. Hope this helps to answer your question.

Press the SRC button to turn it on. If it does not work, it might be bad wiring or problem on the product itself. There is not many reasons that might cause it to go bad

I have had the same problem. It will not even support my refrigerator. I believe thf flow is inadequate, therefore the produce is defective.

Try running something not as power demanding and see if it works. Do you have a multimeter? What type/capacity battery is it? How are you charging the battery?
