One of the bays in my 3-bay SS has completely nothing happening when spot free is selected. All of the other functions in that bay are functioning great. Spot free is working in the other two bays...along with everything else. The rotary selector was a little worn, and I thought that could possibly solve the problem, but it didn't. I don't know what I'm missing, but any advice that could help to point me in the right direction? I'd really appreciated it. I quickly checked for loose connections, but I didn't find anything. I don't know if it's a continuity problem in the wiring, or component failure? Absolutely nothing happens anywhere when that function is selected, and it just continues to count down with no spot free.

SS Spot Free Down - (only in one bay)
- Thread starter trs246810

It must be something like that...because now the entire bay is down. The LED7 display isn't energized...along with the Slugbuster II. So, I guess nothing low voltage is getting any power to it? It's weird how it went from only the spot free not working to nothing now. The pump comes on when I manually press/engage the contactor. My electrician will be there Monday morning to check it out, unless I can possibly figure something out sooner. This is a picture of what the pump stand controls. It's raining...and that bay is obviously coned off until I can get it back up. I have some newer pump stands in storage, but that project is still a ways off.

What's that Ginsan GS-7 timer for?

Holy $hit! You've had this wash for 10 years, & never did anything but fix a lose wire?!! Maybe the single most amazing thing I've ever read on here. Something is broke at my wash WEEKLY, year round!!

I didn't pay any attention to the wiring. Evidently that was the bay timer before the LED-7 was added and the PO just didn't remove it.

In the middle there is a transformer. Is it fused? Did you check the fuse if its not burnt?
I just wanted to let everyone know it was the wiring going to the meter box. It looked like a mangled chewed mess where it had rubbed on the drop down to the bay. 75' of new wire later...and it was all back up and running. Thanks for letting me know I didn't need the old timers in there anymore.
