Possible Causes
Bowl not correctly seated on base, Lid not properly locked, Faulty lid lock sensor, Defective bowl presence sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the appliance is on a stable, level surface.
- 1. Reseat bowl: Remove the mixing bowl and place it back firmly, aligning the handle and ensuring it clicks into place.
- 2. Check lid position: Close and lock the lid exactly as described in the manual. Listen for the locking mechanism engaging.
- 3. Inspect for obstructions: Remove any food residue around the bowl rim, lid seal, and locking arms that could prevent full closure.
- 4. Try a manual mode: Attempt to start a simple manual program (e.g., low speed, no heat) to see if the interlock clears.
- 5. If still blocked: The lid lock sensor or bowl presence sensor may be faulty and require service.
