LNB Stuck

[Toby2518]

Help please…. I have an Antarion G6+ roof mounted dish which fully opens when powered but the LNB remains tucked against the face of the dish and does not deploy from it’s closed position. The dish rotates but obviously cannot find any satellite. Its been stored for a while and am wondering whether a lubricant applied to the arm hinge, followed by prodding and nudging, may get it moving? Just wondering if anyone can suggest best lubricant, and also whether anyone has had similar experience and managed to resolve it ? Many thanks in advance and cheers

Get some lubricant or penetrating oil on it,PTFE spray from Aldi or Lidl if they've got it in (not WD40) it's just seized up

Most use a gravity deployed LNB arm. Suggest use 3 in 1 SILICON lubricant. You will need to apply and excersize the arm to ensure free.

DO NOT use oil based lubes like WD40 on any plastic related items, it can cause swelling of the plastic in these items.
