How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the machine before inspecting the handle area.
- Check handle movement: Gently move the handle up and down. If the machine cuts out or restarts when the handle is moved (when later tested), the tilt switch or wiring is suspect.
- Inspect for play or cracks: Look at the handle pivot area for cracks or excessive play that could misalign the tilt switch actuator.
- Wiring check: If accessible without full disassembly, inspect the cable running through the handle for pinching or visible damage.
- Switch replacement: The tilt microswitch is usually mounted inside the body or neck. Replacing it requires opening the housing and should be done by a technician familiar with SEBO assemblies.
Do not tape or bypass safety switches; they are critical for safe operation.
