So i went to my LHBS today and after a lot of research and years of using starters without a stir plate, i gave in and went all out with the Maelstrom stir plate. When i first got home i took my new 2000ml flask and made a starter, and turned on the stir plate and it was working perfectly.
I left home to go to a local brewery with a buddy, and came back to find my stir plate had stopped. Not only that, but when i tried to start it again, it wouldn't spin anymore.
Here are the current symptoms:
It turns on just fine, with the pause light on, like normal.
I can change the timer all the way to 48 hours still.
I can cycle through all 5 speeds, on and off of pause, but even when i take it off of pause, it wont spin at all on any setting.
I only have used the small stir bar that came with it, nothing crazy big or anything that might mess it up. I have the original instructions which came with it, which arent much help. And when i search online for troubleshooting info all i can find is the same PDF off of NB.
If anyone has any idea, i would love some input. I loved it while it was working, i just want it to work again.
