  If your Andersen Winches motor stops and the push button LED flashes, this could be due to several reasons: * The motor might have reached its maximum load. In this case, release the push button and reduce the load on the winch. * The motor circuit may be overheated (above 60°C or 140°F). Allow the motor to cool down, ensuring adequate ventilation. It will automatically reset. * The running time might have exceeded 4 minutes. Release the push button and wait 30 seconds before restarting. * There may be damage to the control cable. If necessary, replace the cable.

  If you notice excessive vibration or noise from the motor/gearbox unit of your Andersen Winches, it might be due to an uneven mounting surface. Try loosening the motor unit mounting bolts and running the motor. If the noise/vibration decreases, correct the mounting surface and then reinstall the motor unit.

In this case, release the push button and reduce the load on the winch. * The motor circuit may be overheated (above 60°C or 140°F). Allow the motor to cool down; it will automatically reset. Ensure better ventilation around the motor. * The running time might have exceeded 4 minutes. Release the push button and wait 30 seconds before restarting. * There might be damage to the control cable. If necessary, replace the cable.

  Kimberly WilsonAug 28, 2025
  If the Andersen Winches motor will not start and the push button LED is illuminated, it could be due to incorrect or insufficient voltage in the power supply. To resolve this, restore the normal voltage to the power supply. Another possible cause is a damaged control cable. If this is the case, replace the cable.

  If the Andersen Winches circuit breaker trips and switches to OFF after being reset: * Check the LED Status Code table to identify the fault and address it, then reset the circuit breaker. * The voltage in the power supply to the motor might be incorrect or insufficient. Charge or change the battery, check terminal connections, and restore normal voltage before resetting the circuit breaker. * Thermal sensor wires could be disconnected or damaged. Re-connect or replace them if needed. * The motor circuit may be severely overheated (above 70°C or 158°F). Allow the motor to cool down. Ensure adequate ventilation. If the problem persists, contact your Andersen dealer.

Why green LED on Andersen Winches circuit breaker doesn't illuminate?
- P
  Patrick WalkerSep 7, 2025
  If the green LED on the Andersen Winches circuit breaker does not illuminate when switched ON, or flashes every 20 seconds, it could mean that the MINUS wire from the circuit breaker to the battery terminal is disconnected or damaged. Check the cable and terminal connections at both the circuit breaker and the battery. It's also possible that the PCB or its terminals are damaged, in which case you should contact your Andersen dealer or replace the PCB.
