Does it ever slip a gear? My current rotisserie motor slips then the roast sits there for 4 seconds before it starts moving again.

Are you sure it's not just the slop in the gears and spit? If the meat on the rotisserie is heavy on one side it will do this as the heavy side comes round and comes down so when it is at the bottom of the circle the slop has to catch up... The way to tell how much slop you have, just grab the spit and twist it CCW and CW... You will notice some play/slop... If none then turn the spit without the power on the motor. If there is gears with teeth problems you will find in easily. Can not imagine that. As a note I had to modify my spit a bit to fit into the motor drive... Also had to fabricate the mounting to accommodate this motor on my bbq.

I've not noticed it slipping. I purchased this to replace a weber that died on me. It's a 100% direct replacement and required no modifications. My weber version would slip with weight, but this one does not.

Never had a problem with slipping. We have roasted a 13 lb turkey on it at least twice and no problems.Hope this helps.

I have a Whitfield Quest and my motor looks the same. Looking from the front it runs in a CW direction (shaft side) and is 1 RPM. i am thinking of ordering this one as I have issues and don't know if it's the motor or a pellet jam. I used a coat hanger and knocked some pellets out of the delivery chute so it's a wait and see. Another thing it could be is the bushing/bearing. There's a youtube on how to repair. Good luck!!!

Its a universal rotisserie with a37 1/2 in spit. So, get a measuring tape and a drill with 1/4 bit and the rest is self explanatory. Lol

I had the same issue when cooking a turkey. No actually adjustment needed to the spit, in stead adjust the position of the chicken making sure the heavy end (butt) is away from the rotatory. Anything heavy close to the rotatory will cause the motor to falter.

I'm going through turn servo arms and sheer pins on the axles. The rear axle is clicking and sounds like a gear skip. I have 2 of these and it's been a lot of bench time working on them. I like the way they crawl but it's been order after order for parts.

Leslie may I ask you about this motor? I ordered it myself but ended up still having so many issues I bought a new pellet stove.

When amazon emailed me your Q, I fortunately -! happened to see it when I was in my kitchen right next to the OXO mat. I just did a test: I turned it upside down and it was stable and stayed in place (although not with as firm a grip as when it is placed on the 'correct' side). It moved less than a 1/4" when I tried to shake it loose and it did still grip the granite surface. I've used both sides for heat resistance in a pinch when putting a very hot pot on my new granite counter. BTW, this thing is a much better aerating dryer than I'd expected, especially for stemware. I'd highly recommend it! When amazon emailed me your Q, I fortunately -! happened to see it when I was in my kitchen right next to the OXO mat.

The motor mounts on the left of the hood. The side burner is on the right. The right end of the metal rotisserie spit terminates in an oval "handle" and does not extend above the side burner. There is no interference between the rotisserie and the side burner.

Yes, all metal gears.One thing you do have to make sure of is when you are thru using the Rotisserie motor is that you remove it so with subsequent Grilling and it is not needed you do this.... No motor can handle the repeated heat.I had to modify my mounting and spit to use this motor.... Been working great for a couple of years and I use it a lot.

Yes, but only if you build your own speed reduction so the final maximum speed is around 5RPM to rotate up to 100 lbs of balanced weight. Running at a lower speed with this motor to direct drive a rotisserie system is not recommended as this motor runs at its optimal performance at 50RPM. That means if you turn the speed down with just the speed controller, the torque of this motor is not going to be strong enough to run well, especially below 10RPM.

The speed adjustment on mine works beutifully though I have trouble balancing material, speed, blade tension, and material feed rate. On occasion the motor bogs at low speed in which case I have to back off, let it regain speed, then feed the material more slowly. My greatest wish is for an easier blade change mechanism.

Not in my case, never a problem. I have used it to rotisserie roasts for hours, got warm, but not hot.

Be gentle when you pull the trigger to let it spin up to speed. If you just gas it, it will always overshoot. After a few good starts, and you get the hang of it, it is very quick and easy.

I just made bread this week....I have never had to worry about it moving. I love this machine. I have also made an extra large batch of cookies....no problem with any movement.

I think it does move around. I still own it but it's starting to split. However, you may use the tip people use with mixers bowls. Try seeing if laying down a slightly damp dish towel under the board and see if this stops it from sliding while you are working.

I just got mine and I'm wondering if I should return, my drive shaft appears slightly bent and when I grind with nothing inside it scrapes ceramic on ceramic at one section of the rotation. :(

Don't know. How old is machine? How long did you run it, at what temp? I've never run mine more than 4 hours, as it seems to dry things out quickly, even when making jerky. Did the heating element go out? Did the circuit blow? Too many variables.
