Whitfield renaissance ww1 stops working

[Geopoly]

Hello

Need help my Whitfield renaissance ww1 has 5 settings it was on setting 3 when it stopped working put it to 2 works 1 works 4/5 works but back to 3 nothing what could be causing this? Usually it has been working past few days 3 seems to be cutting out after an hour or so

Does it have the old style board? if so your Potentiometer (pot) is probably worn or dirty in position 3. You can try to spray some electronic cleaner down the shaft and work the dial back and forth. Could clean it enough to work. They are also replaceable.

do I have to take it apart to clean it and what do I use to clean it with?

Does not come apart, just spray some electronic cleaner down the stem work the dial back and forth. Link is just one brand of cleaner it is what I use, there are many others.

Thanks I’ll try that out it seems to happen in level 2 as well do you know what this is and how important that it’s correct mine seems off

that it’s correct mine seems off

What part seems off, the time that the auger runs, the time that the auger doesn't run(cycle time) or the Draft (Water Pressure)?

I don't think that those adjustments are your problem I believe your feed dial (Potentiometer) is either dirty or just worn out and needs to be replaced.
