Unit does not stop (tamping noise)


Momentary start switch contacts fused

Top limit switch “on”
-- Out of adjustment (wide blade spacing)
-- Contacts fused


Tech Sheet for this Model

[gems25]

Thank you for the quick response.  I have that tech sheet and have performed every test on the sheet.  The contacts inside both TLDS and motor switch had been arcing but not fused together.  Could this have caused damage to the motor?  Although the motor still works up and down.

[Repair-man]

Actually, it is the other way around. The motor is drawing excessive amperage, causing the arcing of the switches and probably the malfunction. You should replace the motor.
