TROUBLESHOOTING

 

 

Problem 

Possible Cause 

Solution 

Windlass does not rotate. 
 

No electric power to controls. 
 

Make sure the isolator switch for the 
windlass controls is ON. 
 
Check the fuse on power supply to 
controls. 
 
Make sure the wiring is correct and 
check it for damage. 
 
If there is more than one type of control 
(pendant unit, footswitch, helm switch), 
check them all in an effort to isolate the 
problem 
 
Check isolator switch and fuse on 
Variable Frequency Motor Control, if 
supplied. 
 
Check the power supply to controls 
from the source, step by step, and 
identify the point where it stops. 
 

Incorrect or incomplete wiring. 
 

Check wiring against diagrams 
supplied. 
 

Damaged thermistors on the motor. 
 

To confirm, check resistance across 
thermistors, it should be between 50 
and 500 ohms. When doing that, do 
not use voltage. 
 

Faulty thermistor relay 
 

To confirm, check resistance between 
terminals 21 and 22. If it is above 500 
ohms, contact Maxwell. 
 

No power supply to the windlass. 

Check power supply lines. 
 
Check main isolator switch. 
 
Check hydraulic pump. 
 

Windlass is not able to pull 
the specified load. 
 

Motor voltage does not match the 
power supply on board. 
 

Check name plate on the motor. If 
confirmed, contact Maxwell.

 

Hydraulic relief valve not set 
correctly. 
 

Check valve setting. 

Electric motor stops after 
prolonged heavy use. 
 

The motor has been overloaded and 
has reached its maximum operating 
temperature. 
 

Electric DC motors: Leave it to cool 
down and reset the circuit breaker. 
 
Electric AC motors: Leave it to cool 
down and thermistor relay will reset 
itself. 
 

Windlass runs but the 
chainwheel stays stationary. 
 

The clutch is not fully engaged. 
 

Tighten the clutch up, as described in 
Section 3.2. If the problem persists, 
contact Maxwell. 
 

Band brake is engaged. 
 

Release band brake. 
 

Topworks key(s) (18) not installed. 
 

Install the key.
