The feed stops and the yellow section jump up making a thumping sound. Feed then continues. Happens every 4 inches plus or minus. What is cause?

I assume that the yellow section you refer to is the cutting head. If the head is locked down, it really shouldn't move. Assuming that the gears, chains and bearing are okay, my intuition would be that you're doing too big of a cut in a single pass or this is a first pass on a board that has too much thickness variation. If that doesn't seem to be the case, I'd bet it's worn out bearings. I don't use that machine anymore, but I always have a spare set of bearing because that go out fairly frequently. If I recall, they aren't too expensive and you can easily replace them yourself if you're somewhat mechanically inclined. You should be able to visually inspect them. Instead of be perfectly round they become somewhat oblonged.

Sounds like a faulty unit, my last one only lasted a couple of months. It's just a cheap fun thing so I figured I would just replace them as they gave out... Since it came that way though I would say return it for a replacement.

1) Attach the weights that were included in the package to the hose as shown in the directions2) If the weights are on, try moving them closer to the cleaner head3) Reduce the vacuum pressure to the cleaner by turning down the flow to the cleaner. There's usually a set of valves by your pump and filter assembly. This should be the first step if your cleaner is making a very loud thumping noise! NOTE: It will always make some noise.Good Luck!

My best answer is that this device is a high volume pump and pumps make noises.... That is the best answer i can come up with.

I haven't had that problem, but it is a concern.Try contacting Feliway with that question. Their website is feliway.comhere's their contact pagehttp://www.feliway.com/us/Contact-Us

Ours does that as well. It should stop after a few minutes. I believe there is an explanation for that in the owners guide, it is something that is expected to occur.

I have found that shake and water afterwards works best. It makes the feed trickle into the dirt :)

This sounds like a defect. My unit is very stable and in normal use has been extremely quiet. Maybe yous has been damaged during shipment?

I have this same problem. It's loud and I can't for the life of me figure out why it started or how to stop it. I'll have to buy a new machine (not this one).

Questionable at this time. It has started making noises as of yesterday.Hope it is not about to conk out.

I had two units with a similar sounding problem. It was an internal mechanical flaw and I returned it both times to Costco, swapping it the second time for a more expensive (and much more effective) gasoline powered unit. I had had a previous electric home unit that lasted more than a decade, but the SnapOns were a complete and utter failure.

Is it possible either some of the contents are too large and may be jamming the spinner mechanism or the feeder itself is so large that when nearly full the downward pressure is causing the spinner to stop? I have encountered similar problems due to both these instances.

I'm sorry you're having trouble. The first fountaini bought recommended you leave it unplugged for a few days when introducing it into your cat's environment so they can get used to it. Maybe that would help. If it's used it could be that the pump is a bit noisy but the sound has never bothered my cats. I hope it works out.

I agree with Karen. I would call the company by phone if possible and tell them what happened. I feel that they would send you the part that was obviously defective. I have had my kitty castle for about 2 months without any problems. My cat loves it. He has slept and played on all levels and enclosures.

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours not make that sound

Sounds like something is caught inside it. Try blowing it out from both directions with compressed air.

The only think that I can think of is that the feeding bar tension is set too light and when a bid or multiple birds land on the bar it closes off the feeding ports. So you might have to adusst the tension via the notches and the wire lever on the side of thefeeding bar
