Why won't my BRAUN FP3020 robot start?

Question

Accepted Answer

If your BRAUN FP3020 robot won't start, first check the following points:

Power Supply: Make sure the plug is properly connected and the circuit is working (test with another device).
Main Switch: Check that the on/off switch is set to ON (symbol I).
Bowl Lock: The robot has a bowl locking mechanism - ensure that the main bowl (2L) or the small chopping bowl (0.75L) is properly fitted and locked.
Closed Lid: The robot has an automatic shut-off if the lid is not properly closed. Check that the lid is securely closed before attempting to start.
Speed Selection: Ensure that you have selected a speed between 1 and 15, or the pulse mode (P). An incorrectly selected speed may prevent starting.
Overload Protection: If the robot stopped suddenly during a previous use, a safety circuit breaker may have been activated due to overload. Turn off the robot completely (OFF/O position), wait about 15 to 20 minutes for the motor to cool down, then try again.
One Bowl at a Time: Check that you do not have both bowls (the main bowl and the small chopping bowl) installed at the same time - only one bowl can operate at a time.

If after these checks the robot still does not start, there may be an electrical or mechanical fault requiring professional repair.
