    Troubleshooting The Timer

    I've got a "The Timer" that's making a buzzing noise.All functions work,just when I hit test it buzzes and doesn't turn the moter.New motor,new battery.Checked both with another "The Timer".Anybody run into this and know of a fix or where to find troubleshooting procedures?

    The relay in the timer is broke. Send it back to get fixed. He relay is not latching closed.

            If its buzzing you have a power problem. 99% sure you need a new battery. If you have a new battery go buy another!

              this. I used to work for the company that makes The-Timer and one of my jobs was customer service/troubleshooting. I would try a fresh battery regardless of what the battery indicator on the Timer says.

                Spot on...a new battery can even test good on a volt meter and still not have the amps to draw a load. Test a couple to be sure before sending the unit off for repair.

                  I carry a motor with me when I go to fill/service feeders. I hit the battery with just the motor to test it. Volt meters lie!
