WHY? I have this unit. The first time i used it, all was ok. NOW, It will not spin under pressure. no pressure, spins freely. Why?

I had same problem. I was using a 4000psi and it was like a flying saucer! Anyway it stopped spinning and I threw it on the bench and took apart bottom plastic bearing, cleaned it up a bit and tighten back up where it would spin freely by hand. it's kind of adjustable and it worked good again. Not that high of quality.

I do not know. I think you need to contact the seller or maker. Possible bushing or dirt in the line or something.

remove the filter in the middle of the spray arm , after I did this it worked fine

All the below are good answers. Remember, the packaging state that you should not use the ez clean at pressures above about 2500-3000 psi.

I haven't had this problem but did you put a little oil on the spot it seals, like the book says to. Otherwise I wonder if there is something wrong with your pressure canner. Mine has sealed really well every time.

There is a thermal sensor *and* an overload (you put too much in and blades can't spin safely) sensor. Make sure you know which one is tripping. I hit the overload one a few times when I first got it because I overfilled it during initial testing.

This didn't happen to me, so I would assume that it is not normal and is the result of a manufacturing defect. If you bought it on Amazon it's easy to get a return authorization, order a replacement, use the questionable unit until the replacement arrives and then send it back. I would do that simply because it might keep coming apart in the future and at that point you wouldn't be able to return.

I just filled out a return for mine for that exact reason, the projector stopped spinning. At first when I banged on the side it would start going again but now that doesn't work. My daughter loves it though so I will try another one.

this happened to me this year too - I was about to send it back but instead I took it apart (removed the cylinoid, took all those pieces apart - not sure of the names of them) and then checked for wear and tear, sediment build up, etc. It was all clean so I put it all back together and it started working again. I think maybe it just needed a little movement to get going again. It might be worth a shot before going through the hassle of returning, etc. Hope that helps!

I wish I could be of more help, but I have no idea. I know that I can hear things moving in there when I turn the unit off or reduce the resistance or when it turn it on and increase the resistance. Perhaps you are using one of the exercise programs (which I don't use) and the resistance is changing. All this is pure speculation. I have no idea. If it is under warranty (or an extended warranty e.g. American Express), I'd call Schwin and see what Schwin CS has to say. I wish you the best of luck.

I tried to get mine to spin to figure out the problem. Even with the center piece not pushed down, it will only advance the amount of one feed. I think you may have received a defective unit. I have never had that problem and could not create it.

The top spins off the base. If it has been awhile it is probably stuck on the sealing surface of the base...good luck

If there is no water coming through the spinner check to see if there is trash in the filter screen at the hose connection. If water is coming through the spinner try turning it by hand. I have not had this problem. Good luck.

Mine was working for a little bit then the bit that spins the feeder broke. Unfortunately I found out while on vacation. Tried to fix it but couldn't. So when the time came for the feeder to feed, it wouldn't spin. I don't think your missing a step. I noticed this thing broke really easily. Probably fed 2 cycles on mine and then broke.

Probably sucked up something in the roller. When this happens to mine I stop it and restart, usually all is well. Hope this helps

Thank you! I thought my unit was defective and I had a new one (different manufacturer) in my Amazon cart, ready to buy. I thought I'd try a quick search for help before buying a new one and am so glad I did!

If you've been able to use it before and this just suddenly happened, it's probably broken. The same thing happened to mine after only two weeks. I had cleaned it twice before this occurred, so I know that wasn't the cause. I returned mine to Amazon.

the same thing happens to me! It seems to be when I don't have it pressed tight and apply pressure to unit.

I had a problem with my first one as well. Contact amazon and they will return it. I bought a second one and its working fine. Hopefully this company makes a stronger one soon. It works great. Just flimsy.

I am doing 10 GPM. I am sure it can take more since I do not notice a drop in pressure before the unit was installed and after the unit was installed. What is your reason for buying the unit?
