If there is no vibration

Electrical

  • Check to see if the power is off or the controller is turned down or off.
  • Check to see if a fuse has blown.
  • Check the connections.
  • Check for broken wires.
  • Check the coil. It may be overheated or shorted out.

Mechanical

  • Is there a gap between the coil and the striker plate?
  • Is the bowl making contact with any other equipment?
  • Check the springs.  These can sometimes break at the edge of the base lug or the edge of the cross-arms. Check the welds and bolts for any breakage.

If there is a slow, irregular vibration or loud abnormal sound

Electrical

  • Is the input voltage fluctuating?
  • Is there a loose connection?

Mechanical

  • Check all bolts for looseness or breakage, especially bolts holding spring packs together.
  • Is everything level?
  • Is the bowl overloaded?
  • Is the bowl making contact with any other equipment?
  • Is the table or plate causing interference vibration? Stands/tables must be level, rigid, and of adequate strength, or they can set up their own resistant vibration. This can hinder or cause a problem with the bowls proper vibratory function.
  • Is the coil gap too close or too far?
  • Is there excessive dirt or oil in bowl?
  • Is the base unit improperly tuned?
