First problem I have ever had in many years of use with my Texas Hunter feeder. Noticed just this morning The sound of the electric motor running just fine but did not sling ANY feed. I set it for test spin 3 different times. Each time the motor ran great (sounds like) but no food came out!! I put my hand in the slot in the front to hand spin it a little and there was a lot of food down there. Sounds like maybe a "shear pin" or something broke?? Any advise? Said battery is good and it must be because of the motor running so strong.

Update... I did a poor job bench testing my lower motor on my feeder. I replaced it with a new motor and still doesn't work. I went back and made darn sure I got a good connection and bench tested the lower motor again and ….it WORKED!! So I called TH Feeder and they said the TIMER has a relay or something in it that sends the power to the lower motor! Sooo I had to pay a little but the timer was just under warranty. Replaced it today and everything works GREAT. Other than a $18 upper motor I have a complete rebuilt feeder now!! I cleaned all the old food gunk that had built up in places while waiting for parts to arrive. I must say it sounds like a brand new feeder again! Thought this might help someone who may be troubleshooting their feeder. Don't overlook the timer!!
