We have a unit installed in our RV. We did not use it last year. Just now, when we try to use it, we get the continuous beeping indicating a problem with the motor. I have taken the insides out to the point that I have removed the impeller and find that it turns very, very sluggishly. I can move it by hand, which is better than when I first got to it by simply lifting the rack and removing the filter plate but my thought is that it should spin very freely on its own. Is this the problem? Aside from replacing the unit, are there any things I could try? I am soaking the unit in hot, soapy water at this time I have also checked and cannot see anything like hair or string or other debris that may have wrapped around the impeller shaft. Thanks for any help you can provide. Al Cox

Hi Al ,just read your posting.Now from the information in your posting you have removed the ROTO MOTOR from the machine is that correct?The roto motor has that blue impeller. If you haven't removed the roto motor then turn it anti clockwise and pull up to remove it.Once removed, remove all the water from where the roto motor was seated and check for sludge or old food. Make sure that the place where the roto motor was seated is clean and then replace the roto motor.Then try it on a cycle and see how it goes. please reply back and tell me how it goes and with the additional information.,
