    Does anyone know how to reset the Micro Switch 18 error on an Ideal 5260? Our blade is stuck in the down position and the screen shows the error when we press the reset error on screen nothing happens.

    Hi sir;

    According to my schematic 18 is NOT microswitch, is contact from some Contactor K18, There is NOT possible Reset, only you can clean, and replace the complete Contactor 18, if NOT working properly.

    Please clarify about. Since there are a Switch S8, after transformer, and test it with the DMM, if are defective, very easy.

    Let me know.

    Hello
    We just had a service tech in and it turns out that the code tripped due to a set of gears out of alinement that controls the blade movement. We are back up and running.
    Thank you for your response.
