I have a lamco feeder with the timer control. Last week when I hunted this feeder it only spun for maybe 1 second(it’s set on 10) anyway called lamco and they had no clue but since it was still under warranty just go and exchange it. Got a new one hook up test and all good. In the stand this morning and same thing like only 1 second. Any ideas

This is really why I hate hunting sometimes. Been jacking with feeders all week.

OP...I leaning towards a poor connection, bad intermittent motor or a clog somewhere. The chances of a both timers having the same issue made so far apart are extremely low...
The AA battery in the Timer wouldn't be any issue because all it does is keep your time when unhooked from the 12v battery. It defaults to the 12V as soon as it is hooked up.
My gut feeling is a poor/loose connection that is amplified in the am when it is cooler and it doesn't touch.. I'd start looking at all of them.Last edited by Smart; 10-19-2020, 08:15 AM.
