    Melted wire/contactor from electric motor

    My electrician checked the current and it looks normal (the same as other mototrs about 9A). He said nothing wrong with the contactor, so simply cut the head and put the wire back in. Measured the current and looks normal. Will see if the problem comes back...

    Melted wire/contactor from electric motor

    Thanks guys as always very helpful. Do you think i need to change the contactor? Or no this is just a matter of cutting the head, cleaning the connection (with Contact Cleaner spray) and putting it back?

    Melted wire/contactor from electric motor

    Change CP2120 BElt

    Thanks, how do you "roll the belt off"? By a flat crew driver while turning the pulley? After moving the pump 1/8", don't you need to use a plyer to put the belt back on? I'm trying to find a way to not to use a plyer. What happens if the belt is not 100% under tension? I mean right now the pump...

    Change CP2120 BElt

    Hello, I had to change the belt on one of our CP2120. Last time I didn't loose the pump and kind of forced the new belt on the pulley. This time I loosened the pump, moved it backward a bit and it was much easier to remove the old belt and put the new one. But, how do I put enough tension on the...

    Self serve pressure difference from soap/wax and rinse

    I would start from changing the check valve under the hot water tank for those two bays. I had an issue with one my bays pretty much stopping when switching to high pressure (either wax, soap or rinse) sometimes, not all the time ( i hate intermittent problems). The issue was a bad check valve...

    WW2.0 Alarm19

    Sure i did order a set of new emitter and reciver eyes from coleman hanna just in case and still need to descale it with what Greg said above. But increasing the tilt definitely fixed the error. Perhaps the eyes are about to go bad or they need descaling. But this help to wash the back of the...

    WW2.0 Alarm19

    PROBLEM SOLVED: As I said above the issue was that the boom was not tilting enough while washing the back of the cars. That made the water gets between the eyes and getting this error. However the solution was not fixing the lovejoints (Which I still need to do to keep my machine well...

    WW2.0 Alarm19

    Hello, We keep getting this Alarm 19 which says "While lowering boom at the rear of car, boom safety eyes saw an obstruction". I did clean the 4 eyes on the boom but still the same. Not sure if this is related to this but I feel like the boom tilts much more than before specially on the front of...

    Infrared heaters

    UPDATE: first of all my heaters are: Superior Radiant brand and I have this issue on three of my heaters out of 4. So far we changed the flame sensors but no lock. The ignitor still tries to ignite as if the system doesn't understand the flame is on. So we bent the flame sensor to really touch...

    Infrared heaters

    Hello, winter is coming fast here in Canada and it gets close to zero at night where we are. So we put the thermostat on 10c on the heaters in the bays (I got 4 of them) . My heaters seem to struggle to stay on. They start and try 3 times and then quit. If I keep them active every hour or so...

    CAT2120 High Pressue Valves O Ring

    Hello awesome folks of AutoCareforum, It seems like every month I need to change the little plastic O ring on the high pressure valves on only one of my pumps since it keeps loosing pressure (this morning it was about 900 psi vs Normal of 1200psi) and also vibrate a little bit. First I thought...

    Hot water tank Low Water sensor

    Chaz, I dont have a high sensor, do you use coleman hanna as well? I dont even see a place for it (Thinking maybe someone removed it before), a picture would be nice.

    Hot water tank Low Water sensor

    Hello in our Coleman Hanna super saver the low water sensor inside the hot water tank sends false signal to the LW relay (so the green light is on) and as the system thinks the tank is empty it stops the pumps. Do you know where can I buy that sensor to replace?
