    Rupes no longer working

    I have a rupes lhr15II that is about 4-5 years old with maybe 2 hours max running time on the machine..it has been about a year since I last used it and it is not working. I can hear it straining and it seems like it is almost wanting to start up but doesn’t. I did try turning the orbital part but it doesn’t want to run. I tried calling rupes but they are closed until the beginning of next year. Does anyone on this forum know if this is a common issue and if so is there a quick fix?

    In before the griots people come in Rupes no longer working.

    Most issues are either the brushes or the power cord. On a rare occasion it’s the power switch.

    You can go online and send it in.

    Re: Rupes no longer working

    I man I am hoping this will not be a flex vs rules vs griots battle….. I am just looking for a quick fix.. thank you for your response just hoping we can pin point the root problem. I will call them at the beginning of the year if I can’t figure it out. I did see some post on this forum with the same issue. It seems if you don’t use them often this happens.

    This machine has always been in conditioned space when stored

    Mike (Guz) nailed it.

    I would definitely start with the brushes first.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Update: I emailed rupes and they covered my 5 year old machine under warrant because my machine was barley used and in good condition……. It ended up being the module that was causing my machine not to work.
