Background

There have been 3 generations of Cuisinart DLC-8 series. It is important to note that the designator at the end of your model name do not matter for part selection, they only indicate the various accessories that originally came with your food processor. As long as it is a Cuisinart DLC-8 and from the same generation the guides from this page should work.

This food processor is a 120V, 60Hz, and 450W model. Important: For DLC-8 models, there was a recall on riveted blades.

Identification

The generation for this model can be identified by two switches being located off to the right side when viewing the machine from the front.
