Expert Review
If your trusty GL190 mixer is humming but the whisk won't spin, or it's just really sluggish to get going, the start capacitor is the usual suspect. It's a common wear-and-tear item that gives the motor its initial kick. Thankfully, for a qualified engineer, this is a quick and simple swap to get your machine back in action.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the mixer from the mains supply first.
- Capacitors can hold a charge; handle with extreme care.
- Installation should be carried out by a qualified technician.
- Photograph old wiring connections before removal for reference.
