[QUOTE="Rossy, post: 560085, member: 38336"] Thank you. I cannot see anything mechanically stopping it holding, other than the magnet not being pulled-up. When pulled up, it moves a lever that then keeps the switch in the 'run' position (this is my understanding). If I physically move the magnet / coil (?) up, it moves the lever okay and if I then hold the magnet / coil in the up / close position, the mechanism continues to hold the switch gear in the 'run' position. I attach some photos showing the action, if that helps (or I male no sense). Prior to seeking advice..... When I tried to switch the motor on with the cabinet door open, the magnet / coil did not move at all. I have not taken any more parts of but have tried to dust inside the cabinet. Perhaps I should try and take the front part off to see if there is anything behind that may be causing the failure? (I always turn power off and isolate etc on the main circuit board). [/QUOTE]
