Oscillator Troubleshooting
Oscillating Assembly
The oscillator, in this WayCool
®
unit, is operated by a 4 RPM gear motor (WC-OSCGEARMTR) that delivers 50 in/lbs. in torque. As the
gear motor rotates, the blower duct (WC-SMBLOWERDUCT) oscillates in a 110-degree arc, which cools an area of approximately 9500
square feet.
* The design of the oscillator requires the blower duct to sit loosely on top of the unit, do not tighten it down.
• Do not place hands in blower duct (WC-SMBLOWERDUCT) while unit is operational!
• Do not attempt to stop blower duct (WC-SMBLOWERDUCT) from oscillating!
WARNING: If the top of the unit is removed for troubleshooting or any other reason, the wires from the gear motor must be first
disconnected from the oscillator switch. This can be done by first removing the (2) female disconnects that are attached to the back of
the switch.
UNIT DOES NOT OSCILLATE
1.
Ensure that the unit is plugged into a standard 120-volt outlet.
2.
Ensure that the oscillator switch is in the ON position.
3.
Ensure that the gear motor is running. To do this, shut off the whole unit by turning the main switch to the OFF position and leave
the rocker switch for the gear motor in the ON position. You should then be able to hear the gear motor.
4.
If the motor is running:
• The blower duct may be fastened too tight against the top of the WayCool
®
. The nut above the brace should be loosened allowing
1/16" clearance between the bottom of the blower duct and the top of the WayCool
®
.
• If the blower duct is not too tight, the linkage may be damaged. Look for visible damage to the linkage rod or the lever. If any of the
linkage parts are damaged, they will need to be replaced.
5.
If the motor is not running, the motor may have failed or there could be a wiring problem. contact a certified electrician. If the motor
is determined to have failed, it must be replaced.
BLOWER DUCT APPEARS TO JUMP WHILE OSCILLATING
1.
The blower duct may be fastened too tight against the top of the WayCool
®
. The nut above the brace should be loosened allowing
1/16" clearance between the bottom of the blower duct and the top of the WayCool
®
.
2.
If the blower duct is not too tight, the linkage may be damaged. Look for visible damage to the linkage rod or the lever. If any of the
linkage parts are damaged, they will need to be replaced.
EXCESSIVE NOISE
1.
The blower duct may be fastened too tight against the top of the WayCool
®
. The nut above the brace should be loosened allowing
1/16" clearance between the bottom of the blower duct and the top of the WayCool
®
.
2.
If the blower duct is not too tight, the linkage may be damaged. Look for visible damage to the linkage rod or the lever. If any of the
linkage parts are damaged, they will need to be replaced.
3.
A motor bearing may have failed. If the noise is determined to be coming from the motor, the bearing may have failed and the motor
may need to be replaced.
BLOWER DUCT LIFTS UP OUT OF RECESS IN TOP OF UNIT
1.
The blower duct may be too loose. There should be approximately 1/16" clearance between the blower duct and the top of the
WayCool
®
.
2.
The linkage may be damaged. Look for visible damage to the linkage rod or the lever. If any of the linkage parts are damaged, they
will need to be replaced.
*WARNING - If the top of the unit is removed for troubleshooting or any other reason, the wires from the gear motor must
be first disconnected from the oscillator switch. This can be done by first removing the (2) female disconnects that are
