BFT LUX2B Intermittent failure to open

[JoeF]

One motor occasionally fails to actuate even though the motor can be heard running. Opening the release valve, opening the gate and closing the valve allows it to operate for a few days until it happens again. Have had motor oil refilled / topped up by specialist.

I saw this problem reported before but apparently no solution found. Any clues anyone? Thanks.

I have the exact problem pulling my hair out  Re filled with fluid all ok then one stops  it happens when im not there so have not been able to check voltage yet  and will also try bleeding again also going to swap motors over to see if i can confirm details   iv changed capacitors too   its a BFT  LUX 2B 240v

Hi,

Thanks for the message,

it is hard to definitely say however, it could be a sign of a failing capacitor if it is the 230v variant of the Lux motor. Have you tried replacing this?
