Default Breville SHM2 kitchen mixer, probably 2008

Looks as though this is how it failed. Not made for mixing thick mixtures at
low speed as .1mm wire for the last run of that 1 setting and over time the
wire must have brittalised+corroded from excess load current and failed at
one end where the loose tails can vibrate, break and blow out through the
housing. Continued being used but without speed 1 and at some point the
second end must have broken away and blown out, leaving just 2 tiny remnant
bits at the solder points, easily overlooked, and other break ends under the
bulk of windings , so unseen. Then the neutral connection failed and no use
after that. Will try a diode in the 1 position linked to the 2 winding
