Title: Airflex pro 250psi model
Post by: Matthew Hepple on June 25, 2020, 06:16:25 pm
hi,

Had this monster for 6 months, I also have the 800psi.
Today went to clients property, plugged in, not even the fans going. Normally fans purr on turning on. Tried pump nothing  both motors worked. I thought, holy chap pumps gone.
Got to base, did a test all worked. Took other machine to property, much smaller worked beautifully.

The customer said they'd had problems with electrics, thought it was that.

Next customer, same bloody thing, except much further away. Having to come back with 2nd machine again.

Agsin, got home  diagnostic, all worked fine, machine purred when turned on and pump worked no issues?

Just got two customers that have some issue with their electrics or has anyone had these issues?

Hard one to figure , perhaps check your plug or cable for a freak break that's only happening when it's held a certain way . But did u say both machines ?  Dunno ,you might have been unlucky to find two bad sockets in two houses ? Weird one .

Don’t automatically think the worst go from the plus and leads back towards the machine

Were they new builds by any chance?

Hi,
 
Looked inside. This is a 200 psi pro. Its s big of a shambles as I brought it second hand. Looks like its a loose wire or the pumps gone?
The fans not starting but the motors are all working when I turn it on.
Not sure where to start, so found a loose earth wire, fixed and then it just clicked.
I live in Christchurch and near an engineer. Is Altec any good for repair? They do a one off fee of £350 plus vat which includes everything?
I have so much work on but I need this machine?
