The battery may be dead. Or it not getting a good connection. Try a 12 volt battery that wat I used in my feeder and it throws corn every far on the low setting.

Somewhat, it's better than other feeders if that is your problem but it won't kerp wood chips totally out. I also have this feeder on a 2" cement block. Also this feeder will tip over unless you stabilize the wire legs. I still like this feeder compared to the 6 or 7 other ones I've purchased

I have had my 2 feeders for a year and the food never jammed, so I don't know it it reset itself.

I would make sure that the food is fresh. When I fill the feeder a small amount of food falls through. The only way I know the birds are feeding, is the decrease of the food in the feeder.

Make sure you have charged the top of the feeder. It will have a green onsite near the off/on switch. To test it touch the feeder and push the remote button. You should get a slight shock if it is working!

The bowl "snaps into" the feeder and doesn't move if it is. It is a bit of a hassle to get the bowl to snap in but give it a shot. If done correctly both the feeder and the tray can be picked up by just lifting the feeder.

Try reloading the paper and add more if there are less than five paper left then press menu and print again. Check also if the paper is at the bottom of the slot. If all fail, the feeder is the problem.

I also have another brand feeder that has faded. The Hummers don't seem to mind though. So far this new feeder is holding its color.

It looks like there are some small holes on the bottom of the feeder tray. But, if they do go all the way through, they are already so clogged that they won't offer any significant drainage. Honestly, this thing is on the small-ish size - it holds about a quart of seed. I find that during the busy summer days the birds completely empty it every day, so there really isn't too much time for the seed to rot. That might sound like a negative comment, but I think the birds get fresh seed this way. Just remember to put it in an easily accessible location because you'll need to take it down to refill it.

I have a feeder that looks like a chair. There is a metal spike that the corn goes on

I believe the feeder needs an angle. It should not hang straight up and down.

There could be any number of factors at work there. If it's not set to close at too light a weight on the perch, then my guess would be food quality. If you're using that inexpensive bird seed from the grocery store that is mostly yellow millet, and your neighbors are using higher-quality stuff, they won't visit your feeder except as a last resort. Try going to PetSmart or someplace like that and springing for the good stuff that has lots of black-stripe sunflower seeds, peanuts, and bits of fruit in it. Another factor could be location. Birds don't feel safe eating from a feeder that is right out in the middle of an open space with no nearby trees or shrubs to flee to if necessary.

A long time. My feeder has the dual battery option. I've been going for months feeding corn twice a day and it still shows 100%. I had the 6volt solar panel on it for awhile, but the raccoons tore it down and something chewed the cord through. Now, when I'm up at my land working, I just hang it up and plug it into the charging port for a couple hours. This is one thing Moultrie has down. I can say my land isn't accessible (Florida in wet season) from July - September, it wasn't throwing corn but continued to cycle all summer. Showed 100% when I showed up in September, to do maintenance and start feeding those hogs/dear again. Good unit. A long time. My feeder has the dual battery option.

Having the same problem...I have given up stopping the leaking. Created way too many problems for me-with the leaking, ants were everywhere after the leaked nectar. I am going back to the old style of feeders without the tubes.

Check out the picture..the funnel is sitting in front of the unit under the S in Sunslinger. It is about 1.5 inches at the discharge. Never have had a problem with corn going through it.

Actually, WD50 is silicone with a few more things added. Watch what you apply to the o-ring. It could make it start to decompose and hence ruin it. It sounds like your feeder is in need of a new home...the scrap heap. That's why I bought a new one this year. They only last a few years .

You may have the the bottom disk in backwards or lost it. Millet will just run out anyways. Put in sunflower seed (depending on birds you want at feeder).
