My crown majestic feeder from day 1 never worked without being plugged into the wall. And now it is not dispensing food at all.

My first feeder did not work at all, my replacement feeder would work for a few days, then jam. Reliable it was not, so I have since contacted Amazon, who accepted the return as defective. I guess I need to write a review so that others will think twice. I had such high hopes for the feeder, but it failed me and my cat.

Check feeder for food clogging. You can also email the company, they are very helpful.

You can plug the feeder into an electric plug. I just went to Radio Shack to get one. Bring the manual so they know what Volts/Amps you need and the connector type.

Mine was working for a little bit then the bit that spins the feeder broke. Unfortunately I found out while on vacation. Tried to fix it but couldn't. So when the time came for the feeder to feed, it wouldn't spin. I don't think your missing a step. I noticed this thing broke really easily. Probably fed 2 cycles on mine and then broke.

Sounds like you may be having an issue with the rolling dispenser. We've had ours for about two years now and it's always worked great. Maybe, if you're using a battery, it's running down. We got a power cord for ours so you may want to try that. Also maybe try smaller or more roundish kibble, if that's possible.

When I followed the instructions exactly as written the clock on the timer worked for me but the dispenser jammed & wouldn't dispense food. I returned it. I believe they need to tweek that product more as it was not well made. I suggest you return it other wise your pet might go without food when you're gone. I just bought a giant sized bag of food and set it on the kitchen floor with the top cut off. I was worried my dog would eat too much but he didn't. I feel safe leaving the house knowing he will not starve should something delay me. good luck. Dawn

This might sound crazy, but did you turn on the power button? It does not automatically turn on just because plugged into the wall... I've had mine for over a year now. Still working perfectly. Very happy. Good luck!

My cat did this constantly with our last automatic feeder (Le Bistro PetMate) but after over a year has not yet figured out how to pilfer any extra food out of the Crown Majestic.

The crock will reset. It will not continue to cook until you start it again. Try unplugging it and plugging it back in. You will see that there is no memory function if power is lost.

After using it for a month and a half (and it working perfectly) the same thing happened to me. I was using a power strip and found that moving it directly to the wall actually works again.

We bought a new one because that's what ours was doing...dropping food every few seconds. Changed back up batteries (we use AC also) and turned it off for a couple of days. ...then it started working...don't know why. Kept the new one. ..just in case.

The same thing happened to mine. The plastic on this feeder gets very brittle after a short time of usage. Let me know if you get a response about the replacement parts.

I just unplugged it to check. Yes, but only a little and only if it's full. There is a little water in the center hole and around the edge of the blue center piece. If you don't have power, just take the top off to make it a regular bowl. I always visually check the fountain when I feed them since I keep somewhat close to their food. I also wash it out about once a week.

Be sure it is plugged in to both connections properly. Mine has worked perfectly from day one. I fry chicken, shrimp, okra most of the time.

Mine did the same thing. I left it plugged in for days and it never worked again. I just threw it out.

I ran it without any food in it for about ten minutes. It worked fine. But after I used it only three times in the first month one of the controls stopped working and it doesn't go on anymore. Since it was too late to return it and the manufacturer wanted so much money to repair or replace it I bought a Black and Decker one instead. Good luck!
