My Softgloss won't move I turn the key either in Reverse or Forward and I hear it contactor clicking like it should but it won't move and it was working just fine and suddenly dead could it be a relay?

Well that was fun I traced the problem to the VFD module, it doesn't seem to be a shock to me being that it's been 6 years of a hard workload put on it.

Well the Tech installed it but it still won't work, Rykopro have you installed the New VFD on any softgloss systems lately? I am thinking the wiring is different from the SoftGloss XS and the Softgloss XS 2.

Steve,
How did you determine it was the VFD? I would think a motor would be a more likely candidate. I had a motor that would not move at low speed (12-15MHz), but worked great at higher frequencies.

Bill,
Found K-12 relay to be shot replaced the relay still nothing, contactor was clicking but no movement so for giggles I had a tech bring over a new model VFD apparently they have had 3 generations of VFD's since my system was sent out the door in 2002, so we hooked up the new VFD and turned the key to reverse and the machine starts to move but we keep getting a Code 37 High Voltage Problem and a Code 07 VF Drive Fault but the machine is moving like it should so to prevent any damage to the system I had him leave it alone until we figured out what is going on, he said I could wash vehicles but I was taking any chances on that and the last thing I need is a electrical fire. So I will keep you updated, he suppose to be back at 8 in the morning with a solution.

Well the SoftGloss is back up and running all Thanks due to the Ryko Service Tech who bent over backwards to get my wash open again, He had to do a "Internal Reset" for the latest VFD module to work. While we are discussing the SoftGloss I heard that the cost of FoamBrite Brush Sections has gone up in price, they want $2000 for the 5 sections at the Bottom of each rear brush $4000 for both wow....

Mark-
I did use it at full strength but I "had" 6 1/2 years of grime on the walls next time it will be diluted, I will post some pics of before and after. I had to reapply it 2-3 times with light scrubbing but when you see the pics you will understand why, it also cleans the Foambrite brushes and instead of calling it "Ryko Wall Cleaner" they should rename it to "Ryko Wall and Equipment Cleaner"
