Hi yes,
Saniflow machines have an electrical oval shaped chamber at the bottom is the rubber membrane that either stretches & deforms like a caulliflower if in contact with items containing white spirit or over time it can go brittle, behind this a bit deeper into the machine is the cherry microswitch and the motor start capacitor.
I often found just giving the machine a kick on the side where the cable goes in at the bottom of the box would stop it or start it depending on the reported fault, it will require removal of the lid and replacement of the membrane and re sealing it with red hermatite or if you have a day to spare silicone sealant.
As a point of interest if you turn off the electric and watch the level of the water in the pan if it rises significantly or you can hear water back filling into the box it may be the non return valve.
You will have to bite the bullet and pull the motor out to check it out though !!!
