KenWood mix master - missing component

Model?? It should be on/under the base.

** The cracked cap is the culprit and of course needs replacing - use a mains suppression cap ( class X1 or X2) rated at 250 volts AC.

The missing resistor is likely a 100 ohm 1/2watt composition type.

You can use a 1 watt wire wound or 2 watt metal film type.

Bet your triac is not working too.

I have never seen a capacitor fail with a capacitance in excess of its rated value. The only failure mechanism I can think of that would produce this symptom is if the plates were pushed closer together. But then the dielectric would be squeezed out.

The RC combination is a snubber to prevent dv/dt triggering:

The article suggests that 100 ohms is a typical value.

Sorry about not mentioning the model. It is a Kenwood A703C.

Yes, I was very surprised to find the value of the capacitor had increased. I did have it disconnected from the rest of the motor control circuit when I measured it.

Thanks for the replies. Russell.

For Kenwood A703C Triac = TAG12 225 600 Cap = 0.047uF 600V Resistor 56 OHM

Thanks for the info. Colin. Can you please tell me the wattage of the resistor?

Thanks, Russell.

0.5W
