I ordered two of these and the rocker switch does not work out of the box. Is there something That I am missing ;some safety feature kicking in?

One time mine did not work, but it was because the safety plug was flipped on the outlet. I generally fill mine so that it's at least 24 ounces, and then turn it on. I'm guessing you are flipping the correct button. Not sure why yours would not work.

All I can tell you is that as soon as I filled it and turned it on the rocker switch worked immediately and so did the keep it warm switch. It sounds as though you got a defective unit.

Did you depress the front switch, located directly in front of the rocker, also? Unless it is on, the rocker switch won't work.

Check connections, before and after the switch. Had mine well over a year, no problems....

I am on my second one and I have never had to do any shifting or rocking. Perhaps your item is too high for the Lids Off opener. What you are doing is not normal. You only raise the top up high enough to get the item setting in place and push the gray start button and it does the rest.

I have the same issue with one of my switches, it is ON all the time, have seen similar comments, it appears to be a common failure with these units. With that said I view it as an inconvenience not a safety issue. The output is only 12V and as long as each individual output is protected (as described) then each one should trip if it gets shorted or overloaded. However to be safe I would unplug the whole unit anytime you mess with the output wiring.

Ensure that the black rocker switch is on. Mine was initially in the off position.

Part maybe defective. Mine worked fine out of the box. Does you switch at the front work with the switch cap installed. If not then the switch cap is defective.

I have been having major problems with the switch. It will not turn on by pushing it. I have to plug it in to get it to turn on! I need to look at returning it.

Before going with a problem with the unit I would definitely check all wiring both at the switch and lights. If everything is good with the wiring it could be a faulty unit then.

I'm not sure what you're up against, but.... I'd just take it all apart and start over again.There should be either a screw or a clip, or it's held together with friction. If it's not working you need a new switch? Or do you just have it wired wrong?There is a screw on the back of it..? be sure the power's off!bucky in tucson

Sometimes I have to push in the switch a little harder to activate it.I think in time the switch on mine will stop working altogether.Also,the strenth adjuster slide control is very loose on mine but it does work.I think the company should address these issues along with the cheap fragile pitcher.

If it appears to be a problem with the switch, just get a new one and replace it. It does not cost as much as the hassle you will have messing around with the old one! A simple phillips screwdriver is the only tool needed to do the job.

I had the same problem, I changed the battery (It's a CR2032 'button' battery.... available online for about 40 cents each) Once I put a fresh battery in it was fine. That was just a week ago, so I'll see how it goes. If it acts up again I will move the pins to channel 2 or 3 (less crowded area). Keep me posted, Don

Because it is a two stage switch I would contact the company for a new switch. If you do repair it as the others suggest you are breaking the case integrity and any mosture will creep in. Delphie

I have this same problem. The switches function just fine until I connect a camera. Once a camera is connected, I believe a ground loop forms. This can pose a potential problem (no pun intended). I have two of these enclosures and they both behave the same.

I believe pushing it on the upper side will switch on. Mine is a red rocker switch enclosed by a semi clear cover. That is the Deutch so try whatever position of isn't in now and should start up.

Havn't had any problems, sounds like the door safety switch is not working, the turn table may be shut off

Mine really did not work either. i split the side of the switch open with a razor blade and seen how the contacts were not touching very well i scraped them on the inside with a knife blade. added some Dielectric grease tested made sure it worked then glued switch back together. worked great then i decided not to use it. the light works fantastic however.
