What to do if my Graco Paint Sprayer motor does not operate?
If the motor on your Graco Paint Sprayer isn't working, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the function knob is set to Stop/Park before selecting the desired function. Check the connection at J4 (120 V) or J11 (240 V) on the control board. Other potential causes include: * Worn brushes: Check both sides and replace brushes worn to less than 1/2 in. (13 mm). * Broken or misaligned brush springs: Realign or replace them. * Brushes or springs binding in the brush holder: Clean the brush holder and align brush leads for free movement. * Shorted armature: Replace the motor. * Damaged motor commutator: Remove the motor and have a motor shop resurface the commutator, or replace the motor. * Failed control board: Replace the board.
What to do if Graco Paint Sprayer Reactor E-10 does not operate?
If your Reactor E-10 isn't powering up, first ensure it's plugged into a power source. If it is, cycle the Motor Power off and then on again to reset the breaker.
What to do if Graco Reactor E-10 shows Status Code 3: Transducer A Failure?
If the Graco Paint Sprayer displays Status Code 3 indicating a Transducer A Failure: * Check the transducer A electrical connection. * Reverse the A and B transducer electrical connections at the board. If the error moves to transducer B (Status Code 4), replace transducer A.
What to do if my Graco Reactor E-10 Paint Sprayer has an excessive current draw?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer is experiencing excessive current draw, it could be due to a locked rotor, meaning the motor is unable to turn. In this case, replace the motor.
Why is the pressure higher on one side when setting pressure with function knob on my Graco Reactor E-10 Paint Sprayer?
If the pressure is higher on one side when setting the pressure with the function knob on your Graco Paint Sprayer, a possible cause is a partially plugged pump intake valve. Clean the pump intake valve. It could also be due to air in the hose, so purge the air from the hose. Another cause could be unequal size hoses or unequal hose construction, so use matching hoses, or balance pressures before spraying.
What to do if my Graco Paint Sprayer shows no temperature display (heated units only)?
If there is no temperature display on your heated Graco Paint Sprayer, check the following: * Loose display cables on the control board: Check cable connections to each display. * Failed control board: Remove the access panel and check if the board LED is lighted. If not, replace the board. * Inadequate power to the control board: Check that the power supply meets requirements. * Loose power cable: Check cable connections. * Tripped Motor Power switch circuit breaker: Cycle Motor Power off, then on to reset the breaker, as the display is powered from this circuit breaker.
What to do if my Graco Reactor E-10 Paint Sprayer has a pressure deviation from setpoint?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer cannot maintain enough pressure for a good mix with an impingement mix gun, and the setpoint is less than 400 psi, try using a smaller mix chamber or nozzle.
What to do if my Graco Reactor E-10 has low pump output?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer has low pump output, it could be due to a plugged fluid inlet strainer. Clear it. Another cause may be a plugged disposable mixer, so clean or replace it. Also, check for a leaking or plugged piston valve or intake valve in the displacement pump.
What to do if my Graco Paint Sprayer isn't heating and the heater indicator light is off?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer isn't heating and the heater indicator light is off, try these steps: * Cycle the Heater Power off, then on to reset the circuit breaker. * Check for continuity at the clicks of the heater control knob to test the thermostat. Replace the thermostat if bad. * Check for continuity at the overtemperature sensor. Replace the sensor if it's blown. * Check the heater cable connections at the Heater Power switch.
