Possible Causes

Open door/hood interlock on Insinger unit, Tripped emergency stop or external interlock, Faulty start button or user interface, Failed main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Verify power is off before opening control panels.

  • Confirm door/hood closure: Ensure the door or hood is fully closed and latching properly. Check the interlock switch as described in the E9 entry.
  • Check external interlocks: Some Insinger installations include external switches (e.g., hood fans, booster interlocks). Verify all are in the correct position.
  • Test start button: Remove the control panel and test the start switch for continuity when pressed. Replace if defective.
  • Inspect control board: Look for blown fuses, burned components, or loose connectors on the main control. Replace the board if it shows signs of failure and other causes are ruled out.
