Ledco Econocraft Laminator Problem

Our 30" Ledco Econocraft laminator just stopped working. The machine was left in drive mode overnight with the emergency button pressed in. The next day, a employee was starting to use it and they usually use the foot pedal switch instead. They were using it for a few inches and then the rollers started to jerk as if the lam was caught. I pressed in the emergency switch to stop it and it did and then we started it again and it went for a few more inches and stopped again for good. Im not sure what exactly caused our problem, the machine in drive and foot pedal use simultaneously??? I replaced the fuse, i wasnt sure if it blew or not but changed it anyway. I opened up the side panels and i bypassed the tray relays and also the emergency button relays. So i ruled out those relays as a possible problem. The machine currently does nothing, i cant get a response from anything. I was checking around inside for any lose connections and couldnt find anything. I noticed there is a small red led on the main computer board which is not lit, is that supposed to be lit? Any suggestions?

Do you have the serial #? If you call LEDCO they can pull the card on it and tell you all about it. 585-367-2392. They support all the equipment they have ever made.

Don't think I'm a jerk, but do you still have power at the plug.
From my experience, any time it quits running, it has always been an interlock.
I would check them again.
