Scientific way to fix an electric step.
My electric step stopped working, when pressing the button I could see the power kick on the panel so the power was getting to the step.
Ok so first thing to do is check the connections.
Got the mat on the floor. lay down with torch and looked at the 2 connections, pulled them both of and cleaned them up.
Pressed the switch power kicked on panel and -------- nothing happened.
Rechecked the wires and pressed the switch whilst twiddling the wires, power kicked and still nothing happened.
Ok so now the scientific approach comes in ---pick up big screwdriver reverse grip so you are holding the shaft.
Press to operate step and hit the motor with the handle of screwdriver ------- step now operates, spray a load of WD40 arround at put the step up and down a dozen times.
Finally make a cup of tea and think of job well done.:thumb::thumb::thumb:
