Problems with my Flex 3401

[808_detail_nut]

Recently my flex has been acting funny on me. When I start its fine but then it will start speeding up and slowing down randomly. Anyone have this happen to you and how did you go about fixing it. Im gonna call flex when I have time but wanted to know if this was a common problem. Thanks.

Send it to their warehouse. When you call, ask for Ben.

That is the place. Mine also went back this week. They are pretty efficient. Make sure you put your info down on a piece of paper, so they can contact you and return the unit to you.

Did you buy it through Autogeek?
Is it still under warranty?

No I bought it through pakshak a while ago so no warranty.

What else is running on that circuit?

I have experienced this when using a plug that shares a 15 amp circuit with my steamer. Heater in Steamer kicks on...RPMs on FLEX go down.

Hopefully, that is what it is.

Not exactly sure but I'll try and plug the unit into a different outlet. Thanks for the suggestion Allen
