Soda Bottle Appliance Repair

Soda Bottle Appliance Repair
I was asked to fix a small food processor. I get asked to fix lots of things. I don't mind at all. If I don't have enough things to tear into I'll go looking for something (guitars, sewing machines, cameras etc.) I get to learn more about how things work and often I can do a repair for little or no cost. I checked warranty status before I started this. The problem was the interlock and I did not bypass any safety features. I am capable of working on electrical stuff and unplugged the item before doing anything inside.

How it Works / Troubleshooting
I looked at how the parts fit and were meant to work. There was nothing cracked, broken, worn or missing. The lid contacts a lever and the lever pushes a button and the button eventually works a switch. If i pushed the bowl slightly it would run.
