The plastic tabs on the cover that engage the safety mechanism broke off, causing the machine to not run.
If the cover of the processor was pulled on too hard, the plastic tabs can snap off. If the tabs are still in good shape, they may be glued back on. Use PVC pipe glue to secure the tabs. If the tabs broke into multiple pieces, you should buy a replacement cover with functioning tabs.
