![]() Is there a transmission or something that controls the direction of rotation? I'm trying to figure out my options for repair before having the pool company come out. My cover motor only seems to want to spin in one direction. With the help from a couple of buddies we manually extended the pool cover. After fiddling with this for an hour, and lightly rapping the motor with a hammer, I ultimately disconnected the motor drive shaft from the pool cover shaft. I tried the same trick as before (shut off power) - no luck. However the cover motor would not spin the other way to close the cover. Plugged it back in, turned the circuit back on - then the cover opened the remaining 3'. Eventually I turned off the circuit and unplugged the cover motor to inspect the electrical connections (everything seemed fine). If I hit the "close" button instead, no light (green or red) appeared. I would put in the code and hit the "open" button and a red light would blink. After pumping that off, when I tried to open it would not budge (either direction). I stopped the cover about 3' short of complete open because some residual water (about 3-4 gallons in total) had gathered so I wanted to pump that off. When opening the cover the other day, I pumped off the rain ater, then opened the cover like normal. This is the 5th year of operation of the pool and the cover opened and closed fine 2 weeks ago when I opened the pool for the season. I have a 20x50 IG vinyl lined pool with an automatic pool cover (the cover rails are embedded into the walls of the pool, it doesn't run over the top on the concrete). Hi, I'm new to this site so any help would be greatly appreciated.
