There’s something wrong with my brand new baby i(Lot-o). When plugged in, the fans spin but there’s no action in the barrel. If the motor blew. would the fans still spin?
If not the motor, what else could account for the lack of movement in the barrel?
I’m mega bummed. I’ve only done a few loads and they’ve been soooo shiny but I’ve had the machine for less than two months and I have a nice, full load of Obsidian and ceramics in the barrel just turning to concrete.
I’m praying the machine just needs to cool down and will miraculously start back up in an hour or so.
Crying in Cali 😳🥺🤦♀️

After 5 months my motor quit. The fans wouldn't spin and the motor was frozen. I called Lot-O and they had me send in the motor and they replaced it. I suggest you give them a call in the morning and see if they can offer any advice.

Yes, call Lot-O and/or seller. Good luck.

Is it Loud ?
Is it Vibrating ?
Is it Mounted down to a Cement block ?

So, you've gone from getting shiny rocks and movement in the past to nothing now?
Does the motor sound the same as before, and do fans appear to be spinning as fast as they used to? Are your weights still attached to the fans? Also look to see if you have any broken springs and/or any bad welds in the frame that are now separated. Lastly, has the dowel moved?

Thanks for the responses. It was the weights.
Also, the machine gets very hot. Is this ok?
