Expert Review

Expert Review
If your Buffalo veg prep has stopped starting, or only works when you jiggle the lid, it's very likely the microswitch has failed. It's a key safety part that stops the motor from running when it's not assembled properly. Thankfully, this is a straightforward swap-out for a qualified engineer, getting you back to prepping in no time.
Installation & Maintenance
- Disconnect mains power before attempting any repairs.
- We recommend installation by a qualified technician.
- Always test the safety cut-off after installation.
- Ensure correct alignment for proper switch activation.
Frequently Asked Questions
My veg prep machine (CH423) won't turn on. Is this the right part?
A faulty microswitch is a very common cause for this issue. It acts as a safety cut-off, so if it fails, the machine won't receive power to start.
Can I install this microswitch myself?
For safety reasons and to protect your warranty, we always recommend that electrical components are fitted by a qualified commercial catering engineer.
What does a microswitch do?
It's a safety device that ensures the machine will only operate when the lid and pusher are correctly and safely in place, preventing accidental start-up.
