Help! Maxview Dish stuck in up position (1 Viewer)

[The Dudess]

On a Sosta in Italy. Raised dish for first time in 6 weeks. Dish now stuck up and won't retract. Changed fuse in control box which had blown. Changed fuses 3 times and each time it has blown. Any ideas please. Happy to do without dish but need it to retract. Now run out of fuses.

The best way if you can is to get to the dish and slacken the bolts either side that hold the dish and LNB arm,lower them down and retighten bolts.

That’s what I would do.
There’s obviously a motor fault.

Silver-Fox rb62 Thanks for your advice. Success - sort of. Undid the bolts, however when the dish was lowered it stuck out over the side of the motorhome so the whole lot had to come off. Hope a new motor isn't too expensive. Off to Austria now.

Not really - we had to take the whole thing off and put it in our garage.

Had the same problem, turned out to be a broken wire in the harness if I remember correctly it was the green one. Either a new harness from Maxview or a soldering iron.
