Expert Review
If your Buffalo vac packer won't start its cycle or cuts out unexpectedly, it's often this little micro switch that's the culprit. It's the part that tells the machine the lid is properly closed and it's safe to run. Thankfully, it’s a straightforward swap for a competent person, getting you back to perfect sealing in no time.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the machine from the mains power first.
- Take a photo of the wiring before disconnecting the old part.
- Ensure the new switch is securely fastened to the panel.
- Test the machine's full cycle after installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why won't my vacuum packing machine start?
A: A common reason is a faulty lid micro switch, which prevents the machine from starting its cycle as a safety precaution. This part is designed to fix that issue.
Q: Is this part difficult to install?
A: For a qualified technician or a competent individual, it is a relatively simple replacement. However, always ensure the power is off before attempting any repair.
Q: Will this fit any other vacuum packer?
A: This AS699 micro switch is specifically manufactured for the Buffalo HX585 chamber vacuum packing machine. We cannot guarantee compatibility with other models.
