Randy 805 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I have a National 145 that has a motor (A1 spot) that only turns the coil half way, it seems like it has full power and doesn't struggle to turn a coil full of product, it simply stops 180 degrees into the rotation instead of the full 360 like it used to. I've had a few bad motors over the years bust usually they stop working all together or otherwise lose the muscle to twist the coils all the way and you can hear it struggle, but I've never had a situation where the coil will turn full steam then stop halfway everytime, almost seems like a programming issue to me, but I'm not aware of any such adjustment in the software. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfdogs Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Have you tried switching motors with another selection? (Like A2). Does the problem follow the motor? I've got several of these machines and have never had this issue come up. How's the door switch? That is ALWAYS the first thing I check on a 145.

Randy 805 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 What would the door switch have to do with it? Is that a common failure point? How does it effect things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfdogs Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 The door switch is a common failure point. In my experience, most anomalies with these machines stem from the door switch or the shelf connection to the cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 The fact that it does turn part way but not all the way means you have a bad motor. Let me know if you need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorris1953 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 National 145 have 1/2 turn motors that where used for gum and mints. Nothing in programing that will cause this. If it did it after changing a motor then you have the wrong motor installed. If it had been working fine and then started doing it then you have a defective motor. Swap the a tray for the b and most likely it will follow the tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
