There can be a number of reasons for this.
Have you checked that the stylus tip has not broken off? this is a common cause and will require a new stylus.

The unit uses a DC JACK SOCKET, which is the part you are describing. Remove the DC socket, by unsoldering. You may need a reel of desoldering braid or a spring-loaded 'solder-sucker' syringe to make life easier. Then take the DC socket in to your nearest electronics component supplier (eg Radio Shack) as a sample. Pins of old & new must match exactly, and built-in switched contacts, if any. When re-soldering new socket, use minimum solder and heat - just enough to flow the solder onto new pins. Double check for unwanted shorts between pins and track pads, all solder points good (no dry joints), then re-assemble. Now plug DC JACK PLUG back into unit, and Bob's your aunty.

It could be that the switch has either broken, become obstructed, or has moved out of place. If the unit is NOT under warranty, then you could access the deck from underneath to check on the switch. If it is under warranty then contact Crosley. Do NOT attempt to repair it yourself.

well even tho u just got it, It sounds like a lub problem. Use very light oil on all moving parts. WD 40 only works for a short while since it evaporates. Good luck If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gary_9c859f4aa7e5ab10
