Why does my citrus juicer not start when I press the cone down?

If the citrus juicer does not start when pressure is applied, the cone, lid or jug may not be seated correctly, or the socket supply may be interrupted. This model is designed for citrus fruit and includes a removable jug and two press cones, so the first checks should focus on assembly and correct part fit. fileciteturn0file3turn0file5

1. Check the power and placement

1. Make sure the plug is firmly inserted into a working socket.
2. Set the juicer on a flat, stable surface with the non-slip feet in contact with the worktop.
3. Confirm the cord is not trapped or damaged.

If there is no sign of power, stop using the appliance and do not force the cone by hand.

2. Reseat the jug and cone

1. Unplug the juicer.
2. Lift off the jug and refit it carefully.
3. Check that the correct cone is in place and sits properly on the drive.

If the cone only works when it is held in position, stop using the product.

3. Try with a halved citrus fruit

1. Use an orange, lemon or other citrus fruit cut cleanly in half.
2. Press the fruit down gently and evenly.
3. Observe whether the motor starts and the cone turns.

If the juicer still does not start, makes a humming noise without turning, or stops as soon as pressure is released, stop using it and contact the retailer or store where it was purchased.
