Chosen Solution
I need to replace the security microswitch SP0011048 in my 800CPXL, and I’m not sure how to remove the plastic shaft cap that supports the die cast reamer. I was able to determine the switch was broken without removing the cap (and everything sitting half way inside), but clean removal of the old part & soldering of the new part would be so much easier if I could pull everything out of the housing… Replacement instructions where I bought the part simply say “disassemble the juicer”, and I think the cap is just pressure fitted on top of the shaft, but it’s not budging when trying to pull or pry it off & I don’t want to break it.
There are two switches in the citrus press. You can dismantle the press by unscrewing the two screws to take away the cap, followed by unscrewing three recessed screws. After this there are two options to dismantle the rest. Take off the top or the bottom. There are two switches in the citrus press, and the broken microswitch is probably located at the top, so you have to take off the top part. Don’t unscrew the handle and the bar-mechanism, but slowly take the top off. After this you need a soldering iron, hot-glue gun and heat-shrinking tubing while replacing the switch. The switch is probable placed in between snapfits, and glued with hot-glue. Good luck Update (02/28/2021) PS: Martin, i have the Solis 845 juicer which looks a lot like yours, I could remove the plastic cap very easily just by pulling it off Step 1: remove the cord holder placed at the bottom
Step 2: remove the three recessed screws loosening the bottom and top part from the center piece
step 3: pull off the plastic holder:
step 4: take of the top part and get access to your switch:
