I’ve had my 1033X for about 6 weeks. After about 5 weeks of use, it began tripping the subpanel circuit breaker. Initially, I could get get it to start after a few tries. After a while, it stopped starting. Pressing the start button would immediately cause the breaker to trip.I run other tools on the same outlet/circuit without any issues. So, the problem would seem to be with the planer, and not the circuit itself.
Ive replaced the start capacitor and the run capacitor. I’ve also checked the centrifugal switch. I plan on replacing the centrifugal switch just to make sure its not causing problems. I’m waiting for the new switch to arrive. Everything I’ve checked with a multimeter seems ok. I’ve also checked for obvious loose wires etc.
After replacing the caps, I was able to get it running a few times. However it is inconsistent. At the moment, it starts, runs for a few seconds and then it trips the breaker.
I’ve been working with Grizzly Tech support, and they are very helpful. I have no complaints about the service I’ve received. However, I figured I’d see what insights y’all might have. At the moment I suspect the behavior might still be linked to the run capacitor, or the centrifugal switch. What do you guys think?
