# Overview
# Kenwood Prospero KM262
The machine has stopped working and has been making clicking sounds whenever it got turned on. This seems to be a relay that is activated in order to allow power to flow to the motor.

Especially the last link sounds very familiar to my problem (described below in the section about the sensor).
### Switches
With the multimeter I have probed all the different switches and potentiometers. They all seem to work. I was a bit confused by the main knobs potentiometer, which gave weird readings
### Relay Test
I have found the exact relay which is on the board: Song Chuan [845 - 2C - V](https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/378/845-179617.pdf). It is a double pole double throw relay with the following schematics:

Relay Schematics - double pole, double throw
The low voltage coil side is rated for up to 24V, whereas the high-power switching side is rated up to 230V and 5A.
I have [tested to energize](https://www.google.com/search?q=test+relay+with+multimeter&oq=test+relay&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i512l9.9664j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_7VmOY-TQMcqJ9u8PxZysyAQ_43) the coil with a car battery (13.3V), which immediately made the clicking sound. The switch did get thrown to the other side (tested with a multimeter, while powering the relay). —> The relay is working.
### Sensor by Food Processor (Name: KW706575, Marking: 137 103b)
There is a sensor which is attached somewhere close to the food-processor that might be the cause. I have found spareparts for it online, but I dont know exactly what it is for.

It seems to me that the sensor is the culprit, because whenever I move it somewhere else, it behaves differently and sometimes the motor starts turning very fast, out of nowhere. I managed to get the normal start-up behaviour a few times in a row and as soon as I moved the sensor around it stopped working once again. But it was not very logical and I cannot be certain.
