I knew that something was wrong with this machine when I got it, and I have not yet powered it up, but during my clean and inspect I noticed this electrical part ...which seems to be uncoupled from the place it would seem to go.
I have included two photographs. The first photo is of the lower left quadrant of the electrical cabinet, where the part in question is located, and the second photo is of the part, and it's two similar neighboring parts.
Notice in the second photo that there is a rectangular part which seems to be removed from the part above. In the two beside this one, there are similar parts, attached to them.
On each of these three parts is a small pushbutton next to the place where the smaller part is attached.
Pushing the button did not release them. Placing the small rectangular part into where it would seem to fit did not cause it to latch on. Pushing the button did not help.
I can't read the top of the large part without removing it from the rail.
But the face if it is readable. The parts manual labels it as "2K1"
A SIEMENS part...
There are 8 connections...
1L1 3L2 5L3 13no
2T1 4T2 6T3 14no
It also says "10E" and "3TB40"
The part which fits into it is labeled:
Murreektronik
RC-S01/220
22011
3TX 6406-DC
And is called "2RC6" in the parts manual.
...I have only managed to locate these parts in a diagram in the parts manual and not any other page ...so far.
Now, armed with the number 3TB40 I searched Siemens' site and it may be a motor starter, but I could find nothing more than that, ...if in fact that is correct.
The part reminds me of a breaker in having a part release and thus disconnect something. But I am at loss as to how to re-set it. It does not look to be broken in any way. Perhaps it is a relay and a breaker combined? Or a momentary starter switch with a breaker? I am assuming it is magnetically held in place and that maybe a signal would need to be sent to relatch it? Just don't know, and it's too easy to make silly guesses I really have no use for.
Of course I will now ask MAHO, and post the results back here.
And I may ask SIEMENS too.
But first I'll ask YOU!
