Power Pro Error Code

Post by wrmnfzy »

I was using my Power Pro with band saw for several hours. While using there was a power outage at our house. I turned machine off and about 15 minutes later power came back on. When I put the machine back on I got the following error message. Any clues as to what to do. Machine is running on 220.

There should be a manual with the Power Pro that lists the error codes. I'd start by looking that up.
If you can't find the manual or find the codes on Shopsmith site, try umplugging if for a while and starting over. A good reboot is always the best start for things with microprocessors in them. This isn't a mechanical device anymore. Think computer, not Shopsmith.

I checked my manual and on line and basically with this error code the only thing user can do is remove belt and motor panels and blow out any dust. Anything else user is supposed to send it back to SS.
Of course I did that any didn't work. I will wait until tomorrow and try it again then call SS for mailing instructions. UNLESS someone here comes up with a solution.

Thanks Ron, I don't feel real comfortable inside the machine and don't know if I will be removing and more parts than Indid.

Understandable, it was more just to know what the RPS was and why it might have an error. ;)

Before the power outage I was on two or three occasions getting an error message (don't remember what they were) and then turning off and back on it would work. After power outage it went back on then I had to stop and turn it off to answer a question for my wife and then when I tried to put it back on I got the included error message.

SS told me to try removing cover on motor end opposite drive belt and try blowing it out. I guess I'll give it a try even though I don't feel real comfortable dealing with electronics. I was told remove black plastic cover over fins, possibly held on by clip (she wasn't sure) and Then blow out. I'll give it a try this afternoon, any tips or things to look out for would be appreciated.

I took apart the cover over the motor again. I found the black plastic cover mentioned by SS and found a screw on the bottom.mmRemoved the screw but couldn't get it off, afraid to break it. Got under it and blew it out with my compressor and got it back together and it is currently working. Anyone know what procedure you use to get the black plastic cover off the end of the motor in case I need to do it again.
Thanks for advices.

Can't remember how many screws, but do remember the motor must be pivoted (like putting on a new drive belt) Then the black plastic cover is exposed/
