Clayton CruzAug 20, 2025
If your Wacker Neuson Power Roller isn't vibrating, consider these potential causes: * **Switch/Connection**: A defective switch or poor connection could be the issue. Check these components and tighten or repair as needed. * **Solenoid**: A damaged or disconnected solenoid on the vibration valve might be the problem. Reconnect or repair the solenoid. * **Other components**: A damaged exciter assembly, damaged or broken exciter motor coupling, damaged exciter motor, damaged exciter pump, or damaged exciter bearings can prevent vibration. Repair or replace these parts as necessary.
