Possible Causes

Over-sensitive basket microswitch, Loose switch mounting causing early disengagement, Firmware behavior combined with marginal switch travel

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting the switch.

Steps:

  • 1. Observe behavior: Note exactly when power cuts off relative to basket position.
  • 2. Access switch: Remove the front/side panel to reach the basket safety switch.
  • 3. Adjust position: Slightly reposition the switch or actuator so that it remains engaged until the basket is nearly fully removed, if mounting slots allow.
  • 4. Replace worn switch: If the switch has excessive play or inconsistent actuation, replace it.
