The barrel stops spinning, but the wheel is still going around. what is causing this to happen?

Usually this happens when left out in the rain!

Water has penetrated the wiring, dry out the electrical wiring connections and try again.

or the motor wiring has become detached, check wiring around the motor.

-Possibly too cheap and make form out side of USA.
Don't use it. Every time you use it. It'll do the same thing.
Or you can try couple more times to see what it'll do.


Good luck

try contacting the company. if the car wheels are broke or dangeling you would need new wheels. if the wheels arent the problem it could b the turning starvos

just bought a rock tumbler for ToysRus but the barrel does not rotate i think that the toy is defected please let me know what else i could do to make the toy work thank you

Hi, We got the same tumbler this Christmas. You might be able to get an manual from [email protected]
To get started though, Step 1 takes 2-4 days, step 2 4-7 days, step 3 2hrs, step 4 2 hrs.
To start day 1
1) rinse stones with water and fill barrel with no more than 8 oz of stones
2) Add step 1 course Grinding Powder
3) Add enough water to cover stones
4) tighten (snugly) cap on barrel to prevent leaking
5) Be sure barrel is clean & dry. Fit barrel into tumbler (fits correctly only in 1 direction). Cover barrel with safety dome.
6) Attach DC plug to tumbler and plug in.
7) Push on/off button
8) Push # of days button timer.

Extras
They suggest using a lubricant on the inside rim of lid to help removal.
Once you start the tumbling do not turn it off and leave it off - It will harden like cement inside the barrel.
It is loud so place it on a towel to help reduce noise and put it where it won't bother anyone.
Good Luck and Have Fun

I had the same problem, The problem is that the tumbler lid is to smooth and there is no grip from the spinning wheel. I solved this problem by taking a kitchen steak knife and roughing up the edge of the tumbler where it rides on the spinning wheel. Works great now. Best of luck

Try rocking the steering wheel back and forth. Also even though the tumbler is the cause most of the time you should check the electrical part of the switch at times when it goes it won't allow the key to turn. Rocking the steering wheel is so that you can make sure that it is not turning due to the steering lock putting to much pressure on the tumbler.

check the p-trap for stuck loose items---change,rocks,etc.. I had the same problem and the technician said the placement of the p-trap causes lots of loose items to get stuck, which causes the washer not to go thru its cycles & won't spin.

If you can't see any water and just hear it, this is completely normal. This is a front load washer and has a special cover of the inner tub basket. This cover contains some water that has been sealed in at the factory to keep the load balanced while it is spinning.
