There are switches that monitor that the lamp has been fully seated and one to monitor the lamp door is in place. There are other things that can stop the unit from operating and when they act up the indicator will blink a code. If you have other issues, then submit another question and include what the blink code is, which indicator is blinking and the color of the indicator. Other things like it turns on for 30 seconds then it goes into a shutdown mode. One more thing, a common complaint has to do with the lamp exhaust fan isn't spinning fast enough. Sometimes it is hard to get running if it's been off for awhile. Vacuuming the dust from this fan sometimes helps.
