Hey guys,
So my Griot's DA has begun to get very hot while using it. I used it on about 8 cars since I've had this one with no issues but the past 2 cars I've done, it's gotten very hot! The backing plate is extremely hot as well as the black piece where the gears are. It's making my pads very hot which is forcing me to let it cool in between panels. Any ideas? I'm confused as to why it's happening all of the sudden. I'm using the washers and the backing plates it came with, both 6" and 5". Haven't changed anything.
Admittedly, I didn't search much. I'm about to place an order and need to know if I need to order new backing plates or anything else that may cure this.
