Update: Feed hold button acting up during cycle start

Sometimes it doesn't respond right away. Is this a common thing or should I call service?

Our old Fadal did this, dumb but try cleaning the contacts first, then call service.

But what if the problem is inside the pendant itself? Joel_clark37 has a point about a stuck signal from the keypad. Cleaning contacts might not fix that kind of internal fault.

Oh man, I used to think it was always the contacts too. That pendant idea is actually pretty smart, and I'm glad michaeld48 pointed it out first.

Ever check if it's the pendant or joystick itself sending a stuck signal to the control... not just the machine side contacts? Seen a bad membrane keypad on the pendant do this exact thing.
