Will not work/Trouble shooting from the manual. Try a different working outlet, Switch not in the ON position, Juice Press Arm not lowered, Juicing Cone or Fruit Dome not assembled properly or Stainless Steel Filter not assembled properly.
The problem could be (faulty) switch, possibly the power cord or an internal fuse/micro switch/safety feature not allowing the citrus press to power on, wire to motor loose/damaged or motor itself faulty. The unit would have to be disassembled and tested with a DVOM to find fault. If not wanting to do the repair any local small appliance/vacuum shop could diagnose and estimate repair. If still under warranty return for repair/replacement/refund. Below is your manual and a link to Breville support. The last link sort of shows the internals of the juicer and has replacement parts. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

My 800CPXL stopped working while juicing, literally between two squeezes of the press arm. After disassembling I found out it was a security microswitch reacting to (making contact on) down-pressure on the reamer; there is another one reacting to (making contact on) lowering the arm (if it was that one, I would have simply shorted it). I bought one from eReplacement Parts (link to part), like the other reply suggested, but have not swapped it yet. Will post again once that is done.

Marcin, did the new microswitch fix the problem?
Yes, it did, Dean. I managed to damage the cap shaft while removing it (should have pried it more gently & gradually, all around), but the white line of strained plastic seems mostly cosmetic--bought the $4.95 replacement directly from Breville, just in case, but did not need to use it yet. The soldering itself was a breeze, even for a someone as rusty as me. Was able to reuse all the wires, only replaced the thermal sleeves, but even that wasn't strictly necessary, as the wires are sufficiently apart that there is no risk of them touching.

Do you have a video of how to replace these fuses or other solutions to why the citrus press won't turn on? thank you!
