7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Sencor STM 6355VT, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power switch off; safety lock not engaged. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Turn speed dial to a setting other than '0'. Check that the mixer head is fully lowered and locked, and the bowl is securely twisted into place. |
| Dough hook gets stuck or is difficult to remove. | Dough or residue has dried around the shaft; attachment not properly aligned during installation. | Ensure the mixer head is fully lifted. Gently wiggle the attachment while pulling down. If dried residue is the cause, try soaking the attachment in warm water for a few minutes before attempting removal. Always clean attachments immediately after use. |
| Grease or lubricant spills into dough. | This can sometimes occur with new appliances or if the attachment is not fully seated. | Ensure the attachment is pushed up and twisted securely onto the shaft. Run the mixer with a small amount of flour or oil for a few minutes before adding ingredients to help distribute any excess lubricant. If the problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Motor sounds strained or stops. | Overloaded; ingredients too thick; continuous operation for too long. | Reduce the amount of ingredients. Add liquids if the mixture is too thick. Turn off the appliance and let it cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before resuming operation. Refer to maximum capacities in the recipe section (if applicable). |
| Attachments wobble excessively. | Attachment not properly installed; worn parts. | Ensure the attachment is fully pushed up and twisted into place until it clicks. If the issue persists, contact customer support for inspection. |
If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact Sencor customer support.
