Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My Buffalo FU139 mixer won't start. Could this be the problem?
A: Yes, a faulty proximity switch is a common cause for the mixer not starting, as it's a key safety interlock that must be engaged.
Q: What does a proximity switch do on a planetary mixer?
A: It detects if the safety guard is correctly in place. If the guard is open or misaligned, it prevents the mixer from operating.
Q: Is this a difficult part to replace?
A: For a qualified technician or competent person, this is a relatively quick and simple replacement. We always recommend professional installation for safety.
