I bought it and put new batteries in it and the music will play and i press the buttons to make it swing and it doesnt do anything. It doesnt make any noise like its trying to swing or nothing. Could that be the motor
I have the same problem my daughter is only 6 weeks old and hasnt used it up until 2 weeks ago and today it stoped working just the swinging part like you said. i was told if i unplug it and leave it for a day to cool off it may fix itself.. but i was also told graco will send a new motor for it no charge.
Graco swing motors are known for going bad, sorry. I have had no luck trying to fix them as you tear them down and the electronics are what has gone bad. They have a motion sensor in them along with a complicated motor to swing swivel that if you lose a small ball that is the interface, you are doomed. Time for a new one and if you buy one at a garage sale be sure to run it with weight in it for at least 5 minutes. That culls out the bad motor ones!
I have one that stopped working today. i took the leg off (the one with the power wire in it), and took a small screwdriver and opened up the silver spade type connectors (spread them out a little) and put the leg back on. My problem was solved. Swing working again like new. Hope this helps someone else...I have one that stopped working today. i took the leg off (the one with the power wire in it), and took a small screwdriver and opened up the silver spade type connectors (spread them out a little) and put the leg back on.
