6100 "sticking"

[ktani]

Hi Roger,

I have a 6100 that seems to be "sticking" found out as the alarm went off.

It spins for a few then stops. I am curious if the mechanism is somehow corroded as it did not move as cleanly as the other when the power was off.

Thanks for any help.

Kip

It has a calcium build up. Soak all of the parts in vinegar and be sure that the upper bearing which is the circular track the magnet rotates in on the bottom that has a rad oring under it is free spinning on the magnet and not stuck.
