My Food Processor Motor Won't Activate

I put the top on and clicked it shut but motor wouldn't start. It feels like the spring in the top is pushing the mechanism far enough down in the machine to activate the motor. None of the parts appear to be broken. Do I have to replace the entire cuisinart or can this be fixed for a reasonable fee?

If the food processor is apparently defective, you can likely return it to the store for replacement according to the warranty on most models. Check the owner's manual for you model for specific warranty guidelines.
