sample analyzer stuck on "Processing"

[verenion]

Whilst playing multiplayer, we used the sample analyser multiple times to test various things until we figured out the correct item to place in.

however, before we put it in, the machine is stuck on "Processing" and nothing can be inserted. Is there a way of fixing this, or reset the machine using console commands, maybe moving away from the machine will reset it?

This is a pretty large game-breaking issue that we've spent an hour just trying to reload the save, restarting, verifying files etc.

I'm sorry nobody replied to you sooner, but hopefully this will help others who come across this problem.
I came across this issue as well whilst playing in multiplayer. I found a few steps which may resolve the issue:

1. Saving and restarting the game (both host & other players)
2. Verifying game files
3. Leaving the area far enough for the sampler to reload (surprised others haven't suggested this one. It ended up being the solution that worked for us)

Hope this helps!
