Common mid-size planetary mixer with active OEM parts support (control board ~$282, bowl-guard microswitch ~$25); Globe's own troubleshooting table lists "Bowl guard not in closed position" as a documented cause of "Mixer will not operate" and "Mixer stops during mixing cycle," so during inspection confirm the mixer refuses to run with the guard open and starts cleanly once it's rotated fully closed.

OEM bowl guard microswitch (Globe X10057) lists at $25.20 on Parts Town and appears directly in the SP30 model's in-stock parts catalog. Per Globe's own IOM troubleshooting table, "Mixer will not operate" / "Mixer stops during mixing cycle" is caused by "Bowl guard not in closed position" (remedy: "Rotate guard to the right until fully closed"), and separately the manual states "Mixer will not start if bowl guard is open or bowl is in the lowered position." A failed switch is a safety-relevant interlock fault that can disable the mixer entirely or, worse, fail to stop it with the guard open.
$25–$25OEM control board (Globe X00568) lists at $282.00 on Parts Town, fitting the SP30's digital timer/start-stop control panel. Globe's manual notes the timer display governs mixing start/stop cycles and warns "Mixer beeps when START button is pressed" if the bowl guard or bowl position isn't correct -- behavior driven by this board -- so a failed board can present as a mixer that won't start, a timer display that won't light, or one that loses its last programmed time after a power event.
