    My Rupes DIED!!

    So, my new Mille decided to stop working today during a detail on a black car!!! It seems to be either the trigger or the speed selector. Now, it wont work at all. Do any of you have any suggestions?

    It should be under warranty you just have to send it to be repaired.

    Definitely call them. I had a first gen, 15mm throw(ES) that died on me that was out of warranty. They basically replaced everything inside and it only cost 70 or 75 dollars with shipping to repair. I was very happy with their customer service!!!

    While in the 1 year warranty do you have to pay shipping to get it repaired or they cover that?

    I have yet to see a company cover shipping... but you might get lucky.

    When my ES21 died, it was the electronic speed control module that went. I have a feeling it might be the weak spot on that machine.
    The tech told me that the brushes for the motor were like brand new even if it was a 5 year old machine.

    I think Griot's Garage sends a shipping label to the customer. It's been many years so I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure they do.
