the extractor housing wobbles slowly while the motor is running, does this indicate damage?

Not in my experience - depends on how much wobble I suppose. Pay close attention to the steel gears. Look for signs of rubbing and premature wear - if you see anything of significance then I'd contact the manufacturer.

Would you mind posting a video to provide us an idea of the degree of wobble which you're seeing? There is slight expansion and contraction seen withing the juicing screen of extraction when the gears are in motion however the entire extractor housing, at least on my unit, doesn't wobble.

I would say that the item is defective and should be referred to the manufacture. I have not had any problem with the one I have on my RV. Hope this helps.

...whoever you bought it from...may not respond favorably. Why not try jiggling the connector from the motor to the board? It's what I did when I got the same prob. Loose connection...

I received my parts a few days ago and am awaiting a technician to come install them. Customer service was great, and the rep submitted my problem as fully under warranty even though my labor warranty has expired. The problem is that the main pully inside the housing is not perfectly straight, causing the rubber belt to move off to the side of the pully when it's turning. The clunking sound was the belt being snapped back over the pulley's V grooves by the other pulleys which are in proper alignment. I was surprised to find out that the main pulley is actually made of plastic, so I hope this isn't something that is going to happen again as a result of normal wear and tear on a cheaply made part.

I just got mine, so I'm hoping it works itself out ... but while it is very smooth during the motion, it is NOT smooth at all from a dead still start. It always jerks if the head has been setting for more than 5 or so seconds ... no matter how loose the screws.

The metal front (silver) part of the housing on one of mine is loose, but it has had alot of use. Mine should probably be disassembled and the bearing(s) checked - then lubed or replaced , along with retightening the housing. The shaft will always have alittle play as normal.

You're correct- it's on the upper half (the motor itself), not the lower half (the fixed base). I've never thought of this as an issue in the 11 years I've had it. When you start it, the base is already sitting on the workpiece, so you're merely balancing it as it starts up anyway. Even if you were to hypothetically pick up the router in the air with one hand and hit the power switch with the other, it wouldn't be an issue with the soft-start motor.

Have not had any problem on mine. Seems to work fine and starts on first pull.

Hi Bonnie The motor should not have a loose sound. I would send back for a replacement. The blender is awesome I think you'll love it.

I have not had any issues with this so far. I slow my machine down some and that seems to be the trick. Hope that helps!

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 had a loose spring too. I believe it's meant to help with the suction of the converter. I've not had any issues with it.

My Lactrical Alt. also has a vibration at rpm's below 2000, and under pull above 2000. have not noticed any extra heat, but haven't checked. The output is slightly above 14 volts.

Mine has been going strong for 6 months now-raises & lowers very quickly. I would suspect some problem other than the regulator assembly if they fail that quickly.

no, that is not normal. ours is steady and works very safely. contact seller.

Slowing a bit, yes. It has not been greatly noticeable though. Seeing as this was made in China, there can be defects from one unit to another. I would contact seller for a replacement.

I have the robocut and like one commented the motor overheats and stops after a few minutes of use. I also notice that the motor is slowing down even after replacing blades and oiling. I will be changing to flowbee soon to try it out.
