If the power indicator lamp is illuminated but the motor does not start
check the following:
• Interlock Circuit
The interlock circuit disables the motor and solenoid from operating when
the top cover is open. When the cover is closed, it actuates a switch that
applies power to the controller board for motor and solenoid only. If the
interlock circuit is defective both the motor and the solenoid will not
energize, so if the solenoid can be heard the problem is most likely not in
the interlock circuit.
- Top Cover open
Verify that the top cover is closed completely.
- Magnet missing
Verify that the small magnet located in the top cover is present. It
should be found located in the cover at the spot that aligns with the
magnet reed switch (1/2” dia. circular disc) in the left side frame
when the cover is fully closed.
- Interlock Switch circuit not plugged in.
Verify that the Interlock reed switch is plugged into the Controller
board at the connector marked interlock.
