7095
- Thread starter phk36
- Start date
How long have you waited? It should be about 8-10 minutes but this time is set by a capacitors discharge so it can take up to 15 minutes and it can be as short as 5, it varies from unit to unit and with age.
How old are the pumps? If they are possibly locked up by some calcium they can struggle to restart, especially if they are set to start at a speed less than 100%, the main culprit is calcium build up on the axle or metal shaft the drive magnet spins on.

Hi Roger and thank you. The 7095 is new and the 6105 are less than or just a year old. I clean the pumps every few months. I have fish only now my calc is only 350 and on the rise.
I push the food timer and have waited three times over an hour and the 7095 stays in feed mode. I also cleaned the pumps two weeks ago < so out of the water taken apart . I have the 24 volt fuse in both

OK, I think I know what it is. Under the front cover of the 7095 is a red momentary switch that you are actually pressing, much like you would buy at Radio Shack for a project. If the 7095 housing is really screwed together tight, the button can get pinched down so it won't spring back up. From past experience if you just back out the 4 screws on the back of the housing one- two turns you should be all set.
Difficult situation and I am sorry you are having this problem.
I could offer two resolutions. If you are comfortable doing so, you could undo the 4 screws and see if possibly the button that is under the front cover is bent or out of line with the opening, it should be something fairly simple and it may just be opening it up, lining everything back up and reassembling it may solve it. The button has 2 legs that plug into a small socket and it is red and about a 1/4" around, it has to be something with who it lines up with the opening on the key pad. Short of a major breach of common sense (spilling water in it or overtorquing a screw) you can't really damage anything by opening it and it won't affect the warranty, so if you are comfortable it is worth a try for a quick fix. I am also happy to swap it out for you, just PM me if that is what you prefer to do.
