Have a 3 year old big Grizzly bandsaw 636X 5hp, used very little, a few months ago suddenly stopped in middle of a long EASY cut, thought it was a loose misaligned upper door switch, but no. got to messing with it yesterday and resetting the thermal load switch, it hummed and tried to start, with a manual spin of the upper wheel it got up to speed fine. shut it off and now won't do anything. The magnetic switch and thermal load module are in a separate box on the back down by the motor, the key/on/off switches are in a separate position on the front, so OTC magnetic switch not an answer, and it is 30A 5hp. By their web site Grizzly does not have the complete magnetic switch/thermal load module available. Do these units fail in a predictable and fixable manner? Any shared experience, thoughts or advise?
