Very Strange.

I put a load in the Unimatic last night. Filled up a third of the way and stopped filling.
It appears the whole machine is dead. I checked the circuit breaker and that's fine. If I advance the dial, Nothing. It worked fine a few days ago.

I did press the reset button, it just appears to have No Power.

Any Thoughts ?

I'll betcha a wire came loose. When we found the 1958, we were told it was dead, but it was just a wire off a motor terminal.

OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

Did you actually check the overload protector by bypassing it ? they have a way of going dead, other than that its the cord ,timer, motor or other wring connection. The nice thing about these Unimatics was they were very simple electrically. Good Luck I am sure you will find the problem.
