    Hi, I have a Degussa Motorcast casting machine that I have been using
    to cast gold and platinum about 7-10 times per week for about two
    years. Its been getting a bit tempermental lately. The problem is
    its won't always spin when the door shuts. I have been careful to
    keep it clean, especially around the little button that pops up when
    the door shuts to activate the motor. I have taken the door off,
    removed the disc surrounding the pop-up button and cleaned it as
    well as I can (removing and bits of gold or platinum). It will work
    most of the time but sometimes (like today for intance) I melt the
    gold, shut the door and nothing. The button seems unincumbered and
    still no action. Is there something I am missing here? The owners
    manual is of no help. Mark
