Repairs this series usually needs
- Lid interlock that keeps the motor off
- Dull blade and uneven chopping
- Overload trips on heavy loads
- Shaft seal leaks and bearing noise
The FP41, HCM61 and HCM62 are Hobart bowl processors and cutter mixers. They use a large bowl and a blade to chop and blend, and the model number is on the data plate. Delis and commissary kitchens use them for fine chopping and emulsifying.
Always unplug the machine before checking the blade, and never reach past the guard or lid. If the machine will not start, we check the lid interlock first. A leaking shaft seal or a noisy bearing needs a teardown, which we handle in the shop or on site depending on the unit.
Bowl processors take a lot of punishment from heavy chopping, so seals and bearings are worth a look when the machine ages. We give a written price first and say plainly when a teardown would cost more than the machine is worth.

Which models are bowl-style?
The FP41, HCM61 and HCM62 are the bowl processors and cutter mixers in this group. Look at the plate for the exact name. Read it before you call.
Why does the bowl leak at the bottom?
The shaft seal is the usual cause. We replace it and inspect the shaft and bearings, and we give you a written price before the work.
Can a shaft seal be changed without replacing the bowl?
In most cases yes. The seal is a separate part, and we replace it and inspect the shaft and bearings behind it. A written price comes first, so you know the cost beforehand.
