Carousel Motor Runs but Turret Does Not Rotate
This indicates that the motor is receiving power and spinning, but the mechanical connection transferring that motion to the actual product carousel is failing.
Qualified technician handoff: stop before live electrical testing, sealed-system refrigeration work, compressor service, or protected-compartment access unless a qualified technician is handling the work.
- If the mechanical linkage is suspect, a qualified technician must assess the physical connection points between the motor and the carousel.
- If the motor is running but the linkage fails, a qualified technician must inspect the mechanical components for wear or breakage.
