It's been a while since I've posted in this area but am in need of ya'lls expertise. I set up my grinder about four months ago in Hawaii. It is in a covered area and also has a tarp to keep it from getting high wind rain on it. I haven't turned it on over the last two months. Here's what's going on when I try today. Yesterday the status light would be green then when I would turn it to 'start' the light would go orange and red as the Leeson motor would whine and slowly and sporadically ratchet in a turning motion. Today there is no whine, no turning, and the status light stays green. Seems like there is a disconnect between the motor and variable speed control or the motor is fried. Is this motor done from the humidity? Anything I can do to fix it or and suggestions? It is a Leeson motor with a KBAC NEMA 4x/ip65 VSC. The wires (for those with this setup) are connected T1/T7-WHITE, T2/T8-BLACK, T3/T9-RED, T4/T5/T6-N/A, and GREEN is grounded. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
