Need help troubleshooting

[CarWashGuy316]

So i go to my bay itself. Drop coins in. The timer in the bay starts counting the money as it should…..25/50/75/100/125/ but at 150 it should kick on the room timer ( ginsan402)

On the bay timer display it keeps counting quarters but nothing turns on…. 150/175/200/225
No motor functions work but foam brush and ET work

while all of that is going on in the bay…IN THE ROOM, on the gin san it says it is counting time like normal. It will not engage any motor functions. Contactor will not engage.

im kind of at a loss here. Hope i described this well enough

To sum it up timer in room counting acting normal. Swapped it with brand new one so its not that. Brand new contactor also.
Why is it still counting out at the bay??
How do i fix or where should i start . Surely some kind of electrical.

Sounds like a bad rotary switch…. Or bad contactor. Start at the rotary switch and move closer to the motor checking voltage.

Rotary switch or pushbutton?

What is the "timer" that is counting up in the equipment room? Push button or rotary on the door? What is the display in the bay? How old is the equipment?

Didnt think of the rotary switch being bad

Rotary switch

timer in the room is ginsan402

ginsan brand new

rotary switch few years

I was asking which you had. It's pretty unlikely to be a bad rotary switch.

You'll need a voltmeter. There are two layers of the switch, one will have a wire on every terminal, one will only have wires on some. The latter is the power to the contactor. You need to see if there's power coming from the switch at those positions, and keep checking that wire back toward the room until you find a spot where you aren't getting power.

Try pressing the reset button on the thermal overload. Ideally that being tripped will kill all the low voltage to the bay, but they aren't always wired that way.

Try swapping the doors from one bay to the other. That will tell you if it's on the door or elsewhere.
