Bowls
Your food processor has a safety switch in place which won’t allow the unit to power on if all the parts are not correctly aligned. This may seem like the food processor is not working because the buttons are not responding to your commands. The parts that must be aligned are the bowl, lid, pusher, and covers. The bowl has a rod in the handle or through the outside. The lid, pusher, and the covers all have tabs that will engage the rod in the bowl. When these parts are correctly assembled, they will engage a safety switch. If any one of them are broken, then they won't engage the safety switch.
