Chosen Solution
Attempt to open the machine to replace the belt or motor.
bottom side- 4 Phillips head and two security screws -open the security screws by grasping with pointed nose pliers and rotating next step - 8 screws holding the canister onto the mixing deck open the door and with the mixing bin removed, you see the “shell” -remove all 8 screws holding this down pop the plastic connectors holding the top plastic shroud to the base -careful note*** the buttons and display are connected from the top to the base using a straight edge, I was able to remove the glue holding the plug for the top and then unplug the connector to free the top from the base there are 6 screws in the base holding the mixing plate down 2 are kind of hidden between the motor and the starter capacitor —further note, you need to remove the screw for the black, rectangular starter capacitor to access the mount screw underneath once the six screws are released, access to the underneath is fairly easy there are 4 round plastic “guides” at the corners -careful not to lose those you can now turn the deck to access the belts and perform the replacement
