20 Most Recent Sunbeam 4817 Oskar Food Processor Questions & Answers

I followed everybody’s instructions About holding the bowl at the bottom at the two tabs but I did one important thing before that. I keep a bottle of mineral oil in my kitchen cupboard which I use for oiling my cutting boards and the black stone countertop that I use for making bread. I got a Q-tip, dipped it in the mineral oil, put a dab at each of the tabs on the side of the bowl and then followed the previous instructions. I turned the bowl clockwise and it popped right off. And you know what? It felt really, really good! Take care everybody!

My Oskar has two locking teeth on the bottom of the bowl. One at the 3 o'clock position and one at the 9 o'clock position. Grabbing the bowl at the bottom with one hand (using thumb and one finger), I twist clockwise (to the right) about 1/4 inch and the bowl unlocks and lifts off directly. (my unit's spindle doesn't have anything to do with locking the bowl. My unit must be 15 to 20 years old btw)

Hi, new blade for sunbeam can be found on amazon, click here and take a look: Amazon com Sunbeam blade. I hope this was helpful. Cheers

Hope you've worked it out by now, but there are 2 notches at the bottom of the bowl that slot into the base. To remove the bowl, take the lid off and rotate the bowl clockwise so the notches disengage from the base, and simply lift it off/. I assume if you couldn't do this the bowl must have had a lot of gunk stuck in the notches which prevented it from moving - yuk! I put my bowl and lid in the dishwasher - no prob.
