Kenwood Chef 901 - smoking & now stopped?

My Kenwood Chef 901 started to smoke then the motor seemed erratic and now it has finally stopped. The brushes seem OK and there is nothing obvious that has burnt out - any clues?

small brown capacitator as you open top over motor with I think 3 wires, connected to ? I had same problem my unit started to smell of burning then increased speed then stopped. Just solder new one, check for burning, cost pennies from any elecrical store . Hope this helps .

Sounds like the Triac and or one of the capacitors
I found a complete repair kit on ebay of all the components
try a search for motor repair
