You might also try using rechargeable batteries. I use those exclusively now. For whatever reason, they just seem to work a lot better.

Not to give you a smart answer, but, I would send it back for repairs. I bought two of them last summer and so far have had no issues with them. However, with their warranty, I would not hesitate to send either one or both back if I had issues. I am going to pull both of mine down this weekend-hunting season is over here- I will know then if they have developed any problems since they were down last. I will run them for at least 6 more weeks. Hope this helps.

If you do not use high quality batteries it may not run motor. Change batteries and see if that helps. If not send back to moultrie and they will repair.

Mine has been up a full year and works great maybe a battery connection issue

I agree with pat replace batteries with new alkaline batteries I have had trash in my shelled corn which will jam the spinner plate also had husk accumulate under the spinner plate which also kept it from starting it doesn't take much to keep the spinner from starting Also don't depend too much on the battery meter

Thats is very unusual. I have 3 and the only time it quit for me was when it was crushed when the barrel came down on it. Are sure you have good batteries. That is usually how long the batteries last before they are discharged. Also make sure red to positive and black to negative. Very hard to believe it would quit on you. I will never go to a different feeder motor.

Sorry to hear that Rob.I had the same problem. I called Moultrie customer service and they gave me an RA# to send it back for repair. When I received the feeder it worked for 2 weeks, I sent it back and it cost me $25.00 plus shipping, and they said nothing was wrong with it. I got it back, changed the batteries (Moultrie 2/6 volt batteries) and it still didn't work. I complained and they shipped me a what seemed to be a new digital board, same results. To say the least, I missed out on some good hunting time. Bottom line, get an ON Time Feeder using 10 AA batteries.. I have had it for over 3 years and it still works great in the ice cold snowy weather. PS, read the negative Moultrie customer revues on this feeder. You may see the same problem that other customers had..I wish I did.....

I would ask them for a replacement. Obviouslt a problem with the battery. i have found they are either great or duds.

Make sure you have charged the top of the feeder. It will have a green onsite near the off/on switch. To test it touch the feeder and push the remote button. You should get a slight shock if it is working!

I havent had any problems with mine. A. Check the backup battery (you may even try cleaning the battery with a regular pink pencil eraser - learned this trick when I worked at a camera store)B. Check your power supply - perhaps it is bad. C. Contact Nautilus and see if they will replace the electronics for you. I hope this has been of some help

That's odd... I used mine for over a year before the batt died on me. Maybe you can contact their technical team and see what they say.

Not sure, how old is your battery? THE WORKS people replaced my battery within a couple of months. They told me that they were having problems with the battery I received with my weed-eater and sent me a new one and I needed to return my old one. I have not had any problems since. I hope this helps...........

We have had ours for almost a year now. A few weeks ago ERR showed up on the LCD screen with the low battery light flashing. We changed the batteries and it worked for a few days and then ERR again. We use smaller pellet food and thought maybe it was jammed. We took it apart and air dusted the crumbs. It worked for 2 days and then ERR again. The motor has died as far as we can tell. Maybe something has gotten shaken loose or food bits have interrupted a connection. Try cleaning it out with canned air, gears, battery terminals, and wire connections. Helped for a bit for us.

A long time. My feeder has the dual battery option. I've been going for months feeding corn twice a day and it still shows 100%. I had the 6volt solar panel on it for awhile, but the raccoons tore it down and something chewed the cord through. Now, when I'm up at my land working, I just hang it up and plug it into the charging port for a couple hours. This is one thing Moultrie has down. I can say my land isn't accessible (Florida in wet season) from July - September, it wasn't throwing corn but continued to cycle all summer. Showed 100% when I showed up in September, to do maintenance and start feeding those hogs/dear again. Good unit. A long time. My feeder has the dual battery option.

Wow, I would contact wildgame innovations .Mine is working great. it has an auto shutoff that turns it off 30 secs after I stop using it. Maybe some malfunction. I the battery old?

We bought a new one because that's what ours was doing...dropping food every few seconds. Changed back up batteries (we use AC also) and turned it off for a couple of days. ...then it started working...don't know why. Kept the new one. ..just in case.

I have not had the feeder long enough to give you an honest answer. My best suggestion would be to call the manufacturer.

Get a different model that only uses batteries. There an argument that a battery one is preferable since you will need to periodically check it, and one off of the house power you tend to ignore, and then it fails when house power is off, even though it ha a battery back-up which is died earlier. Regrettably that has happened to me.

I never had that issue. Mine was going strong for a year and a half and I misplaced it (seriously -- I have no clue where I left it). I loved that thing. Have you tried reaching out to the manufacturer?

Unfortunately, we have had the same problem. We did unplug the connections and plug them back in to the other open "plug-ins" and they worked for a month or so. At the present time, we only have two feeds working. We have not had the time to trace the problem. Sorry this isn't helpful, other than supposedly misery loves company. I hope this is an easy fix.

I have had a unit for quite a few years. I thought my battery had died and replacements were expensive. Started looking at just getting a new unit. Then I put the battery back in and it has worked fine for what has now been a couple more years. Don't know what happened, might have been a connection problem????
