I just ordered and received a Goodwill Online Kenwood Model Eleven G. Advertised as "tested". Bidding went fairly high, I'm certain due to the description that it was "tested". I expected it to at least power up and then take it to be professionally serviced. Unfortunately, it does not power up. First thing, I checked the timer. It works fine even without power. Turned it over to 120 minutes and it timed out as it should. I can switch it to off or reset. Neither allowed the power to come on.
Now, after working the switch for a few minutes it appears the switch just falls freely with gravity after lifted to the on position. Is this a known repairable problem or do I need to look for a replacement switch? Any other models of power switch that is compatible?
My skill set is not such that I would try anything myself except just to put in a new switch. I have a meter, but no experience using it.
My repairman is 2 hrs away so it is a situation that I'd like to get some known problems/solutions to check out before I take it to him.
My first post so if I made an error, please point it out or move my post if necessary?
Thanks in advance
