Super Bed Stopped Working - tanTALK

Tropical_Tan · 07-28-2002, 03:01 PM

I am getting ready now to open it up and see if I can determine what is wrong, but I could always use some help. So if anyone has any hints or suggestions please let me know.

I have a T-Max timer controlling a Puretan Ellipse bed. While a client was tanning today (3 minutes left in her sessions) the bed shut off by itself. After she left I tested it and the first time I tried it it worked fine. The second time I pressed the "Start/Stop" button on the timer and the bed clicked normally but none of the bulbs came on. So I am 99% sure that the bed is getting power from the timer to turn on, but something is keeping it from fully powering up.

Well, I am off to see what I can find out with my voltmeter.

Anyone have any ideas??
