Also, there may be an automatic thermal overload shut off, so check the plug-in for proper voltage and inspect for any binding or obstruction on the track or tube. The thermal overload in the field of the gearmotor might be weak, in which case you should replace the field in the gearmotor. The gears may be out of the gearmotor, so feel if the gearmotor is running; if it is, the gears must be replaced. The capacitor could be bad, so replace it. Finally, the tilt switches on the augers might be shutting off the gearmotor on the center hanger. Hold down the bypass button on the junction box; if the gearmo...
