The Kenwood Chef A701A is a stand food mixer released by Kenwood.

Why is the motor sluggish and doesn't reach full speed

Hi,

I'm trying to get my grands Kenwood A701A chef running again. It had seen some better days. Though the motor was refurbished it was not working. Apparently it was running reverse polarity which did not transition the torque to the gear wheels.

Well i sorted it out and it runs clockwise now but does not seem to run full speed and very sluggish even though I replaced the brushes.

Any idea what could be the issue?.

Thank you

Hi @chamindrad96269

Here's the service manual for the mixer.

On p.6 it shows how to adjust the speed

Hi Jayeff,

Thank you for replying my question.

The speed controler works to a certain degree and beyond that it does not reach maximum speed. I have replaced the brushes and they seem to spark quite a bit too.

Any idea what could be the problem?.

Thank you.
