Question 1

At what speed should I use the KAX950ME meat grinder with the Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL?

Accepted Answer

The Kenwood KAX950ME meat grinder connects to the low-speed accessory outlet of your Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL. Here are the speeds to use depending on the application:

Speed 4 for grinding meat, poultry, or fish - this is the recommended standard speed. First, cut the meat into strips 2.5 cm wide, then use the provided pusher to gently push it into the feed tube, piece by piece. Never force: a gentle pressure is enough to achieve good grinding.
Speed 3 or 4 for sausage filling - gradually feed the sausage mixture through the tube using the pusher. Speed 4 speeds up the process, while speed 3 offers finer control if you are a beginner.
Speed 1 for shaping kebbies - this lower speed allows for a more consistent and homogeneous mixture for the outer shell of the kebbie.

Important recommendations: Completely defrost frozen foods before use. Before slicing the meat, remove bones and skin. Always use the provided pusher instead of forcing food with your fingers or other objects to avoid damaging the accessory and the machine. Never force: if the meat accumulates in the tube, stop the device, unplug it, disassemble the accessory, and clean it before resuming.

The accessory can process up to 1.5 kg of meat per minute at speed 4. For best results, work in small portions and allow the grinding screw to take the food before adding more.

Question 2

The KDC-MP155U radio won't turn on - what should I do?

Accepted Answer

If your KENWOOD KDC-MP155U car radio does not turn on, here are the checks to perform:

Check the power supply

Voltage: The device requires a 12 V DC power supply (acceptable range 11-16 V). Check that the vehicle's power cable is delivering the current (maximum 10 A).
Vehicle fuse: Check that the car radio fuse in the vehicle's fuse box is not blown.
Connections: Ensure that all power cables are securely connected and properly insulated.

Clean the contacts

The KDC-MP155U front panel is removable with a cleanable connector. Remove the front panel, clean the connector as well as the power contacts with a dry cloth to eliminate any dust or oxidation that could block the electrical contact.

Reset the device

Check that the DEMO mode is not activated (it should be in the OFF position). Press the source button (⏻ SRC) to check that the device responds. If nothing happens, the problem is likely related to the power supply.

If the problem persists

If after these checks the device still does not turn on, the problem is most likely electrical (vehicle wiring, fuse, weak battery, or insufficient power supply). Consult an automotive electrician or contact KENWOOD customer service.

How to use the FM/AM radio on the KENWOOD VRS-6200?

Accepted Answer

Select the radio tuner: Press the INPUT SELECTOR button to activate the tuner, then use the BAND button to choose between FM or AM. Each press toggles between the two bands.

Tuning to a station: Use the AUTO/MONO button to select your tuning mode. In automatic mode (the "AUTO" indicator lights up), press the MULTI CONTROL or tuning buttons for the receiver to automatically find the next station. In manual mode, use the MULTI CONTROL to manually select the desired station. The "TUNED" indicator lights up when the station is well received, and "ST." indicates a stereo transmission. Note: in manual mode on weak signals, reception will be monophonic.

Automatically store stations: For FM only (except in Europe and Australia), select FM, then hold down the MEMORY button for more than 2 seconds. The "AUTO" and "PRESET" displays will blink alternately. The receiver automatically stores up to 40 detected FM stations.

Manually store a station: Tune into the desired station, press MEMORY, then use the MULTI CONTROL to select a preset number between 1 and 40. Press MEMORY again to confirm. You can repeat this procedure as many times as necessary. A new station stored at the same number will replace the old one.

Recalling a stored station: Enter the station number (1-40) directly using the numeric buttons, or use the P.CALL buttons to scroll through your presets one by one. By holding down P.CALL, you can cycle through the presets at intervals of 0.5 seconds.

Optimal installation for AM: The supplied AM antenna (loop antenna) should be positioned as far away as possible from the receiver, television, speaker cables, and power cord. Adjust the orientation for better reception.

Question 9

Why does the start button on my KENWOOD KD 1500 turn freely and how can I resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

If the start button on your Kenwood KD-1500 turntable turns freely without starting the platter rotation, it indicates a problem with the motion transmission between the button and the drive system. On this belt-driven turntable, the most common causes are a failure of the internal mechanism that connects the button to the motor, a worn or misaligned belt, or a fault in the microswitch that triggers the electric motor.

First step: check the drive belt. Unplug the device and wait a few minutes. Gently open the top cover of the turntable to access the belt (reference FR1850A for your model). Ensure that the belt is properly in place around the motor and the platter drive roller, that it is not twisted, broken, or excessively worn. If the belt is dusty or dirty, gently clean it with a soft, dry cloth. A worn or loose belt poorly transmits the motor's rotation to the platter, preventing the mechanism from functioning correctly. If the belt shows signs of degradation (cracks, tears, deformations), it should be replaced.

Second step: check the button and its control shaft. Make sure that the start button does not move freely on its shaft and that it does not appear damaged. Press the button firmly to check if you feel mechanical resistance or a slight click that would indicate the microswitch is functioning. If the button turns completely freely without any resistance or clicking sensation, this may mean that the internal shaft is disengaged or broken.

Third step: clean the internal components. Before concluding a complete failure, carefully clean the areas around the belt and the motor with a soft brush or compressed air. Dust or debris accumulated over the years can slightly block the mechanism. Pay attention to the space between the motor and the belt to remove any buildup.

If the problem persists after these checks. Plug the turntable back in and test again. If the platter still does not turn despite a good condition belt and thorough cleaning, the likely causes are: a faulty microswitch that does not trigger the motor, an electrical problem with the motor itself, or a broken internal mechanical engagement between the button and the drive system. These failures require specialized technical intervention, as they involve components that cannot be easily replaced by the user without specialized tools.

Your Kenwood KD-1500, dating from 1980, may have some internal components that need maintenance or replacement. A vinyl turntable repair technician will be able to accurately diagnose the problem by testing the motor, the microswitch, and replacing the belt if necessary. For optimal long-term operation, also plan for a preventive belt replacement every year, as it is a wear part on belt-driven turntables.
