Why is my Lortone 3-1.5B Power Tool barrel not turning?
- C
  Cheryl GomezAug 4, 2025
  If the Lortone Power Tool barrel isn't turning, is turning slowly, or stops after you place it on the tumbler, here's what to check: * **Power:** Ensure the machine is properly plugged in and the electrical circuit is working. * **Installation:** Make sure the barrel is correctly aligned. * **Weight:** Avoid exceeding the rated capacity of the barrel. * **Belt:** Tighten the belt if it's slipping. If the drive belt is broken, remove the cover and replace it. * **Motor:** If the motor isn’t running or runs intermittently, it may need to be replaced.

  Ryan ColeAug 13, 2025
  If your Lortone Power Tool barrel leaks or the lid comes off during operation, consider the following: * **Inner Lid:** Ensure the inner lid and barrel shoulder are clean and properly seated inside the barrel. * **Knurled Nut:** Tighten the knurled nut by hand until it's snug; avoid over-tightening with tools. * **Gas Build-up:** Occasionally open the barrel to vent any gas that may accumulate during tumbling. * **Gasket:** Check for damage to the barrel or boot gasket and replace if necessary.
