Woodmizer Log Cabin build, setting the Last Rafters!

It's been a long road but I'm getting closer to being dried in. I think I'll sip some moonshine at that point.

I have watched several of you videos because I am running a 2016 LT50 with a 47 Yanmar diesel from an LT35 HD. Not nearly as many folks run the LT50. I bought it with 650hrs and have put about 100hrs on it over the past few months. Love the mill. Me and my son run a portable sawmill business and had one log left on a two day job this past Friday and we started getting an Error code "current" when trying to raise the mill head. The head lowers fine and will occasionally go up. If you go down then quickly try to go up it sometimes will go up fine. But if you are at a dead stop it will throw the code 9 times out of 10. I know very little about electric motors but obviously when I try to go up it is drawing too much and causing the code. I made sure the pads on the mast were adjusted properly and nothing seems to be in a bind. Any insight? Can I rebuild the motor, should buy a new one ($1,000 from Woodmizer)? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Jason, Hwy 90 Sawmill, Loxley, AL

I believe I would clean the contact on the rotary switch first then check it. Let me know if that helps. Don’t go spending money until you know what’s going on.

[@oldbluffsawmill5235]

The rotary switch I’m talking about is in the control panel. It controls the up and down movement of the saw head.

@@oldbluffsawmill5235 thanks for responding. I cleaned all of the drum switches and but dielectric grease on them test but it didn’t help. If I just bump the switch up it will raise about 1/16 and not throw the code. But if I just hold the switch it starts to turn then kicks out. Seems to be drawing too many amps, makes me think it’s something in the motor.

[@oldbluffsawmill5235]

Check all electrical connections in that circuit, on the motor, the rotary switch and at the circuit breaker. All connections

[@oldbluffsawmill5235]

Make sure they’re not loose.

Great job!
